sell your motor and purchase a sohc vtec. personally i think its a waste of time money to do a mini when a complete z6 could be had for a little more w/o worrying about the setup

edit: 1 or 2 cam vtec?

Search around d00d. And if you go to howthingswork.com it will explain how VTEC works -- then you can decide from there.

You`ll have much more luck doing that.

oh god...

first off.. its VTEC.. not V-TEC.

Second off.. You don't put a VTEC into your car.. Vtec is a function of the engine.. It was designed for better fuel economy, but it has evolved into an overall performance related function. For more info on VTEC go here: http://www.leecao.com/honda/vtec/index.html

In order to get vtec you would have to A: Get a vtec head for your engine.
or B: Do a complete engine swap with any engine that has vtec of your choice that will fit into your car. B18C or H22 or LS-Vtec etc.. Do some research on what engine(s) would be best for you.
