You need a VTEC head from a B series engine (ie. B16 head, B18c5 head). If you carefully put the work into it, you can have a decent LS/VTEC, but as most guys are going to tell you on here, its hard to do completely and totally right. Most people end up having problems, so dont expect it to be your DD unless its done right.

True but if he used the search function he would have found that the question has been asked and answered many times before. Just trying to help save some bandwidth.

use to have ls/vtec like 2yrs ago. it was the biggest mistake i ever made. if you are gonna do it, make sure you build it right. if not just get a real VTEC motor. trust me. oh yeah and i ran on mine for like 10k miles before i sold it. a lot of highway miles though.
