Wire car for VTEC
is it multi port already?
There is an oil jet you need to remove (put a screw in and rip it out)in the middle towards the back
VTEC ecu since you probably still obd-0 you can buy my jdm pr3 b16a ecu
I used a stock crx distributor and vtec engaged fine?

mini-me on boost is flirting with disaster. I would just boost the nonvtec jam on like 6-7 pounds and call it a day...especially since junkyard kits are so easy on SOHC's

who said SOHCs aren't good for boost?

but if it was me, i would just boost the non vtec and just swap in a vtec tranny. or possibly just swap to a full vtec SOHC motor & trans, and boost thet.

personally have never felt a mini me was anything more than just a waste of time and money.

but that is just my .02, also check out www.d-series.org
