If I bought an integra vti-r with the B18C or bought an integra gsi with the B18B and like, i wanted to convert to vtec or the engine was just old. so i decided to change the whole motor.

would i need to do anythign else but change the motor? eg:telling the RTA, gettin engineer cert.,Changing the Vin badge.etcetc??

only have to tell the RTA of the new engine number
they all 1.8L motors...

u will need a new ECU if u decide to swap the b18b motor for b18c or a vtec head

don't think so since you're not changing to a higher displacement engine. Unless you need brake upgrades which I don't think you will shouldn't require an eng. cert.

VTiR has better options. Tacho says different redline, better trim level in some cases, there are many differences that set the vehicles apart. Better suspensions.

Its easier to start with a VTiR than swapping in a B18c for only a handful of kilowatts. The money u spend on the B18A to B18C swap you could spend on an already 180hp VTiR and get an even higher output.
