Vtec conversition
I want to know if someone try to switch a non vtec 2k1 (dx) to a vtec one...
I know how to make this on a 2k or older... but I just want to know if something change for 2k1

Rep Power: 349 for one thing its not worth it. i have the ex which has vtec and u really cant tell. and besides the dx, lx has lower compression which is better for FI. so just stick with the non vtec. thats just my opinion

Rep Power: 0 i honestly didnt think it was a stupid question at all, and for that matter, i thought it was an interesting one at that. my friend told me because of the different compression ratios between the EX and the LX.... If you were to slap an EX Vtec Head onto the LX block, you would have a really good, low priced, simple HYBRID. i was also under the impression that the LX had higher compression? i could be wrong on this one... ?

Rep Power: 349 in order to turn an non-vtec engine into a vtec engine u need the head and ecu of a ex. which will cost u alot more then its worth. and Toretto everyone here knows we run off individual coils and not a distbuter u freaking PW.
