straight forward question can you put vtec on a non vtec motor if you can what all does it involve and what parts would i need and average price of parts

 

yes you can.

It's called a mini-me swap. Check the FAQ and search for mini-me. There are countless threads that can get you started in the right direction.

Here is a good start:

What kind of car are we talking about here?

 

Depends on the motor but most all can be fit up with a vtec system. Depending on motor you are talking about different things are needed.


So what motor do you have in what car?

 

its a 1.6L in an 1988 crx

What exactly is your motor code?

Assuming it's the a6, look for a mini me.

if it's a twin cam ZC you might have some issues.

look behind your radiator, where the tranny meets the block. Should look something like this:

I'm assuming you have a d16a6. You'll need a d16z6 vtec head from a 92-95 civic, gaskets, timing belt, valve cover.

I hope you know what this means. my left tag says L3-1225604 and the right says ZC 6006359 i have no idea.

 

as long as its a SOHC zc you can do a vtec head on it. i use to have a sohc zc block with a d16z6 head on it but it blew a couple weeks ago and im running a d16z6 now. the swap is called a mini me. search it and u will find answers
