b16 = vtec, b18 = non-vtec. It sounds to me like it woudn't run very well past a certain rpm, but this is just me making an inference.

Sounds like it wouldn't be a problem as long as you didn't take it to the VTEC x-over...

Wow, very helpfull

My .02 is, if the car runs, and you dont hear any explosions or any other not-so-good noises, it'll be okay... for now.

Personally I would avoid driving it at all costs.
But you gotta do what you gotta do, untill you get the right ecu. Your kids gotta eat right.
GOOD LUCK.
