Prelude SI Add VTECH controller?

[wholesale-av-4you]

Hi, have recently purchased a non vtech (as far as I am aware) Prelude SI and I have been told that I can simply add a VTECH controller and it will run the same as a 2.2 vtech, this seems a little too simple to me?? Excuse my naivety I replaced the burnt out fuel and temperature gauge myself this weekend and that was a stretch for me. Lets just say I don't know much but I know enough mechanically to know a little bit of knowledge can be dangerous lol. I had intended to put a cold air intake on it too give it a little bit more and have been offered a super charger not sure bout that one.
Anyway from what I have read the VTECH version versus what have is roughly 60 bhp different. Could someone please let me know if I am right is there more too it than simply adding a vtechcontroller going to add 60 hp? I had assumed there would be allot of differences physically in the head as well? Seems an awefully cheap 60 hp, Isnt it a different motor?

You are correct there is way more to it than adding a VTEC controller. You'll need to swap the head and maybe port some oil feeds, ECU...etc... It's called a Frankenstein swap.
