if you by a vtec motor, you'll have vtec. but your going to need to correct ecu.

what is the point of the title and your statement?

Yes he can, for example if he is doing a mini me he can keep his stock ecu, and use a rpm activated switch. Like I did for 2 years on my mini me before I got the B16. But you can't use a stock D-series ecu on a B16 and expect to turn vtec on with a rpm activated switch.
