Yeah the keys would have to be recoded to the new ecu most likely. A dealer could do it if you give proof that the engine isn't stolen. I'm not exactly sure, but I think the ecu is all you need, since you've got the entire vtec engine already.

I have a receipt with the VIN. is the vtec controller mounted on the engine or is it somewhere else cuz i dont want these guiys to forget to give me parts i will
need

Do you have some form form of VTEC controller to engage vtec at a certain rpm or what?

I think u have to have a VAFCII or EManage to engage the Vtec. I know the lx ecu will work fine, it just won't go into vtec thats it.

thanks everyone . i guess i can hold of from honda then . they want 94 bucks to code my key

I think he just wants to be able to limp it to the dealer and then swap in the new ecu once the key is coded. Car won't be driving well without vtec. To answer the other question, the vtec solenoid should be on the engine somewhere.
