check your engine number again. you have a d17a1 non vtec head. this is a very easy swap if you know what youre doing. you need the a2 vtec head, new headgasket, and a vafc2 or an ecu from an ex 7thgen. if you swap ecus getting the engine harness would be nice so you dont have to run any wires yourself.
