Well you could add a VTEC head to your LX, but it wouldnt be worth it. It would cost a lot to tune and many shops wouldn't even bother with it because of reliability. If you really want VTEC just a buy a used d17a2 for around 800 dollars. Also not to mention you would have to get a d17a2 ecu if you swapped the head.

Like zinkyroo said
Ebay a used D17A2 with ECU and drop it in.
Much cheaper

The difference, Looney_01Civic, is of course, VTEC, a higher compression ratio, slightly higher redline (by 300 rpm), ABS, sunroof, painted everything, oh and keyless entry. Hope this helps

Guys -- take it easy on the new people, some of you guys' attitudes of "go search" will turn many people off to the site. just a suggestion.
