y-7 has 2 stages of vtec
y-8 has 3. you cant use three though. last guy who tried to hit the third stage of vtec is still recovering. without his left leg........

sure can but since your already doing it might a well get a dohc v-tech (you might need some skunk 2 adjustable cam gears to do the timing but will be well worth it)

EDIT - my bad v-tak
