V-tech
 

I'm now to this vtech stage, and last night I drove my friends 2000 civic, and it had that vtech thing in the engine, and I fell in love with it, now I wonna put it on my stock 88 Honda CRX si. How can I get my hands on this, and what will I need to do the conversion????

Ebay has a Wide variety of V-Tech products, have a look!

Seriously tho, it's Vtec and it stands for Varaible valve timing and electronic control.
What type of motor are you looking for, SOHC, DOHC?? How much money do you have to spend?

Re:V-tech
 

bobby, are you looking to do an engine swap? or just a vtec head swap?

Jeff, just the head.right now I have the stock 88 si engine in the Rex. I had the buttom end worked on everything is stronger, and old has been replaced with new. I was planing on getting a shunk2 cam but after last night I need a vtec head. help me Jeff how do I accomplish this?????

That would be called the "Mini-me" their are alot of articles on the mini-me on the internet, I havent wrote one up... they are pretty easy swaps. I have had 2 d15 mini-mes.

You basically put a d16z6 (92-95si head) or y8 (96-00ex head) on you d16a6. This will increase your compression ratio easily into the mid 10 range. The z6 is a bit better flowing head and is what most people use. The head is pretty much plug and play. bolts on with ease.. a few things, I recommend using the d16a6 si intake manifold, also modifying the si distributor to fit the z6 head. You have to remove the oil oriface jet off the face of the deck. (pops right out) I also like to use the 92-95 z6 head gasket, since its tripple layer metal.

management is a different story, no offense, but I can already tell you that a obd0 to obd1 swap is out of your range. i would run the pg7 ecu with a vtec controller, and tune it on a dyno.

Jeff, why do you reccomend the A6 Dist and intake manifold?? Wouldn't the obd1 conversion be the way to go?? Help me out here, i've got the parts to go either way, i'm leaning towards the Pm6 OBD0 as it leaves ghettodyne open to explore, however with the obd1 there is no dyno tuning and i can just run the VAFC for the injectors.
Which would you recommend?

Re:V-tech
 

I recommend that for bobby.. yes the obd1 conversion is the "better" way to go but, you are looking at spending alot of time doing the full conversion. Running OBD0 system (with a pg7 ecu) and a vtec controller will be just fine.

Re:V-tech
 

you can use the obd1 dist...but the car will run shity. the stock ecu was not meant to read the dist. point on the obd1. the dist. sits slanted on the z6 and the dist sits straight/ flat on the a6. jeff was rite on...use the z6 dist. and wire a vtec controller, or you can go ghetto and wire it to a switch. but no matter what...you wont get the fuel maps for the vtec unless you have the obd1 p28 ecu.
