Default DX hatch- to EX - Head work? Bolt ons? vtec? HELP!

Hey. .. Im gettin a 98 dx hatch (aka slow) i can easily get a 92-95 ex head, and intake manifold... can this be put on? And what kinda hp boosts would it add? Also what type of re-wiring would have to be done? or sensor changes>? Anyone done this before? Would the ecu have to be changed? ...

Also... know any good bolt ons for some dx hp+? besides I/H/E

this article should help get you started...

http://crx.honda-perf.org/articles/z6swap/z6swap.html

even after the work, it's still just a stock vtec, but without the chubby ex to haul around. spend some time with the dremel and some polishing compound before you slap it all together, it will pay off. oh and of course TUNING. apexi vtec controller is pretty cheap and decent for tunage, beats hardwiring an rpm switch. boltons? i/h/e, MSD ign, and spend some time on the very gay dx suspension if you plan to put that power to the ground instead of just wheelhopping all over.

maybe some stuff i missed, trying to point you in a direction, not provide a walkthrough. it's always better to learn by doing.
