Yes, you have a B20 and you can put a B18 VTEC head on it.

Please don't do it to be different or so your 'boys' will think it's tight.

so if i find a b18? instead of having to swap the whole motor i can just change the head? i heard you have to replace the pistons if you do all that.
im looking for all the help i can get on this one. im trying to get more power. i have an automatic also. i have a 97 crv, and it only has 126hp, so im looking to get as much as possible.

its not worth it in my opinion, but if this is what you really want to do.. sell the CRV and build another integra.. and by the way this is the Prelude forum welcome.

although if you must, you can use a B18C1 (integ GS-R) or a B16 (civic) head.. its been done many times and im sure you can get the help you need by taking a gander into the integra or civic forums..
