Yeah, but you could get the same power out of the non-vtec..... it's just going to take a lot more work. For the price, I agree with the first guy- turbo it. The B18A/B is strong.

If its got low milage, turbo it very low boost until you have money for a full built bottom end. Don't think a turbo is gonna finish it.

Another vote for turbo here. Go to the Foruced Induction forum and find out a turbo setup for you.
