You could also go out and buy a D16 VTec motor, and install that. But you will need to convert your car to MPFI. Get the Vtec ECU, and wire up the Vtec to your ECU.

What do you mean if its possible? Just do a motor swap and oh yeah, you need to do the MPFI conversion.

just go to the Honda Dealership, the best place for discount OEM parts, and ask them for some VTECH fluid. I am sure they could help you out. All you have to do is take off your valve cover, and pour that stuff in. Next time you start your engine, you will see your tach go all V-like. It is a good feeling. The fluid is a bit pricey, but it is the only way to go.

amiright or amiright? =D

but in all seriousness, it is possible
MPFI swap... then find an engine. in my opinion, vtec is too much money. better off boosting. (oh man, i am gonna get flamed for this)

Check out a mini-me conversion.
It's adding a vec head to a non-vtec engine.
It shoud cost you well under $500 and make the car a little more fun to drive.... while you save up $ for boost or a swap

Is it possible? yes. Is it worth it?

Not for most people.
