Hmm...you can make the motor VTEC but you have to get a SOHC VTEC head (mini-me). You CAN'T put a DOHC head on a SOHC block.

Yeh u can't mix d with b. Only with the same series u can. So u can get a d16z6 or y8 head and mate it on ur block with mods.

Just search through here and type in "mini-me". Alot of ppl been askin these questions.

but the general consensis is that it isn't really worth it... when you can get a z6 or y8 from 250-500 if you look around
