Hi i have a 97 civic si non vtec is it possible to put a vtec head on it where would i be able to buy it junkyard ? will i have to change any other parts if i put vtec on my engine ?

 

please use the search, its your best friend and saving people time by having to flame you....

head swap as with any swap take time and money, you need to do your research or you can end up getting shafted like i did... i ended up spending approx $700 on my head swap (details in sig) but yea the swap i believe your referring to is the mini me swap and here is a link to get you started https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=554053

 

If you do a simple search you'll find out two things -

1.) you do not have a Civic Si. If you're in Canada, an Si is an Ex - read: with VTEC. In the States, an Si is an Si and we didn't have them in 1997.

2.) this is an incredibly normal swap

3.) there are 8 bajillion threads on this.

 

ok i will search don't want to get flamed and yes i am in canada so and si is an ex so does this mean a sir is a si in canada ? thanks for your help

Yes, the SiR is the Si in Canada. Also, your car already has VTEC. The engine code is D16Y8, SOHC VTEC. Just because the valve cover may not say it doesn't mean it's not there.

 

ok thanks a lot bud i didn't know i already had vtec you saved me money

 

lol, how can someone not know they have vtec? oh well
