even if you bump the compression and fit i/h/e and an ecu tune your non vtec will be lucky to hit stock D16Y8 figures LOL.. the labour cost of a cam regrind and install and tune would prob be MORE than what it costs to do a swap.

if you dont want to be redlining it like an idiot for VTEC, then do a B18B or B20 swap.. yes it's a B-series but it has bucketloads of torque and even more HP than any single cam effort.. plus with the B20 all your power is there before 6,000RPM. match that to an EK4/EG6 gearbox and you got a quick and reliable daily driver with V6 like torque (when in a civic).

otherwise, i think you're in the wrong camp - go buy a VW golf and get soem torque in your life without being a 'Vtec idiot' HAHAHA.
Oh yeah a B18B2 with i/h/e would be awesome in an EK imo. however i can understand the OP wants something more than just i/h/e out of the engine he has. The only person i know of that has modified an NA Y4 is beeza, & i dont hear any complaints from him. I guess its a 'unique' factor....
