babahahaha, sorry mate but this is so f**ing hilarious, its in the same league as little kids wanting to know where they can buy a powerband for their dirt bike.


seriously, you can probably buy a vtec but you will have to buy a different head with the vtec camshafts in there, the selonoid valve ,pressure control switch , [acronym:f41b365278="Engine Control Unit"]ECU[/acronym:f41b365278] etc etc etc and it just wouldnt be worth it.

You be better off buying a front cut and doing a conversion or just buying a honda with vtec.

Ring up BMT you can buy it from there for around $50 a bottle... a single bottle of [acronym:77f4cde952="Valve Timing and lift Electronic Control"]VTEC[/acronym:77f4cde952] should last you a few hundred Kms... good luck!

Oh as for instilation, its pretty easy it just bolts strait on no worries... comes with instructions.

im sure everyone has to start learning somewhere, as you would have too. in my opinion, best to help encourage questions and promote learning. im sure you would appreciate answers to your questions no matter how basic or advance they are.

good luck finding your answer buddy.

Judging by your nick it seems you have a 3rd gen civic. You'll find the best info on upgrading these cars at www.redpepperracing.com
It's an overseas board, but the info is very relevant and you'll find the members & mods very helpful. Read the FAQ and use the search function, you'll find many examples of B16 conversions & general upgrades to 3rd gen civics and 1st gen Crx's.
