I believe that he is referring to a Mini-me setup. A z6 or y8 head on a non vtec block. You can get the vtec to activate with a rpm activated switch if you dont have a vtec ecu.

RPM-activated switches are only good for VTEC, but what about the fuel and timing issues?
The correct ECU will run the motor correctly. Just buy the correct ECU and don't half-*** it with an RPM switch. There really is a difference, but I suppose if you come across a really cheap RPM switch and you're just bored, try it.
...It won't run 100% though.
