Default 91 DA horsepower question

i have a 1991 DA that i swapped a B20B into and turboed it and i just picked up a complete B16 vtec head of a running car it also had a skunk 2 pro series intake manifold attached along with a D&H 75 MM throttle body and skunk2 cam gears and i was wondering if this vtec conversion is hard and if is it worth it?

Swapping the VTEC head onto the B20 in lieu of the B20 head will allow you to move air more efficiently; therefore, making more power with less boost. The throttle body is larger than necessary and wont really do much more than stock, but it wont hurt anything to use it. IMO, sell the TB and reuse the stock one.

i would say go for it, the vtec head swap is no hard, the only problem would be reliability w/ boost.

Yes it is. It is a big pain in the ***. If you don't have the tools necessary, it will be more expensive to do.

No it's really not hard, what would make it hard, drilling a hole or two holes or threading them thats about 15 hours worth of work?
Maybe the hard part would be wiring in the vtec there are 3 whole wires there thats about 6 hrs.
I think it must be actually putting the head on that is about 6-8 weeks of work.

Honestly if you know what you are doing and have access to basic tools you can do it in a weekend.

look a these, just looked around really quickly you can find better
