I fi were to do the head swap from the no-vtec to the vtec, i understadn the oil pan has to change but how difficuilt is it to run the oil lines? and if im boosting my car, is thier any advantage to run an ex head, cuz if so ill already be running an vafc2 anyways...

what year is your car? if you're talking about 7thgen, you don't need to change the oil pan, and if you're talking about the mini me, i dun think you need to change oil pan also...

Nope, you dont need to do anything with the oil pan. With a headswap all you need is the head, the head gasket, and of course your vafc2 to control the vtec points. You benifit with compression- better then a stock ex, and you also gain vtec. But if your boosting, the dx/lx motor provides a good base and you wont have to worry about your ecu flipping out because its trying to cordinate a piggy back ems, all the pressure in your engine, and working with the vafc2- but that shouldnt be too much of a problem anyways. Unless your looking at doing internal work, there isnt all that much to gain from a head swap, being your going to be gaing lots of power from boosting.
