VTEC-E is like economical VTEC or something like that. My VX has it and it saves a shitload of gas.

start with getting a b18c1 head, that might help. sorry for being a jack-***. it all depends on your goals. what do you want from the car? ask yourself that first.

Well If you have the B18c1 block. You can do a poor mans type-r. Which means you use a GSR block, a b16 head, and a type-r tranny. Dont bother getting the B18c1 head, you will get more hp with a b16 head. And If you want to get higher compression, replace the pistons with CTR pistons.
