lx to ex engine swap ?
yea so i picked up an ex engine yest.. i have a 2002 lx.. i wasn't planning on swapping ecu. probably gonna use vafc to control vtec.. or is there another way? this should be a direct swap? or will i have to get a different wireing harness? if you're wondering why i'm swapping is because i bought guns' turbo kit, pnp head and custom cam. i will be sleeving the block, pistons and rods.

No the block is different. It does not have the oil feed for the v-tec.
All you need is:
The new motor and head
ECU
Wire harness
And sense you are doing a turbo kit the exhaust is going to be changed anyways
