Default Converting from B16A to B20/Vtec

Hello all, and thank for looking. I am curious about going from my B16A Swap that is in my Ef civic. The car is running an OBD 1 P28 ecu, ODB 1 Dizzy. My question is will i need to do any changes to the wiring if im using my current B16 head on the B20 as well as the IM and Throttle body. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Nope. Slap on the head (do the needed b20vtec conversion of course), and your good to go.

Nope, going to keep stock bore but i will be running some Cp pistons(11:5:1) with Eagle Conneting rods. Polish and balance crank. Mild Port and polished B16 head with skunk 2 valve-train, and a Skunk 2 Tuner stage 3 cam B16A IM with B16 throttle body both port matched. Hoping for some good numbers...

Very nice. Just make sure your clearances are spot on and longevity won't be an issue.
