Can you add VTEC to an engine?
You cannot just add Vtech to an engine. This is a design that is built into an engine that makes it more efficient and create more power. In order to add this to a vehicle that does not have it you would need to install engine that has it already equipped and add the electronics to control it.
Can I put a VTEC motor in a non VTEC car?
Re: Will a VTEC run ok in a non VTEC car? yes, it will run just fine. though if you want vtec to work you will need to wire it up either straight to the ecu through the firewall (plug underneath the battery box, almost directly at the ecu) or through the shock towers to make it look OEM.

Can you put a non VTEC head on a VTEC block?
95 and under blocks have a plug in them when they are non vtec. if you put a vtec head on a 95 under block you have to remove the plug. So if you put a non vtec head on a vtec block, then id guess youd have to plug it back up then.

What is needed for LS VTEC?
Obviously, you must start with a VTEC head in order to build an LS/VTEC. Your choices are a b16, a TypeR, or a GSR. From the factory, the ITR head is the best. IT has stiffer springs, upgraded retainers, and better cams, along with a mild port on the intake side.
