Vtec head swap

Im looking at doing a vtec head swap and all the bells and whistles that goes along with that to convert my lx engine. What exactly do i need to replace and where could i get a new head for her?

Re: Vtec head swap

I have a head that has 40k on it, took it to the machine shop and had them prep it for bolting on. I'm ready to sell it, as I never got to doing the swap.

You also need a way to control when the vtec comes on- which means getting the Apexi VAFC2 or the Apexi Neo so you dont have to get a whole ex wiring harness and ECU.
