Ok i have a question on this ****....if...and i mean if i had the chance to throw a vtec head on my sohc...what all would need to be done besides the wiring to the vtec solenoid? I heard some **** from someone about ECU and getting better gaskets? Is this true?

New headgasket.
VTEC solinoid.
Wiring.
ECU that looks for the VTEC Solinoid (i.e. P28)
VTEC head.

Not exactly a plug and play project.

u can also use an rpm activated switch to engage vtec instead of getting another ecu.

ok wait, i got a 99' lx non vtec and i believ its a 1.5, so i could through a SOHC v tec hed on it?

sohc_boy

the 96 up lx/dx/cx all have the 1.6 not the 1.5, yeah u can bolt the vtec head on.

BlkCivic

is their a sertain head i need i noticed they have differant "codes" like a b16y6 or like a b18a what does all that mean?

TheIntegraGuy

you can get ANY single cam vtec head and put that on...z6 y5 y8...bla bla bla...etc...

That will work, but is pointless, becaues your fuel and ignition curves will be wrong especially when VTEC is on.
