ok the K20 looks like it is a better engine, but also at the same time pretty expensive. i was thinking about a partial vtec swap, i think "ls vtec"? like i just want to replace the head and some wires and do i need to:
add an oil line
a new ecu
wires

how about that swap instead, can i get a good condition used head? do i need some kind kit or can i just re-wire my ecu without it throwing a code? what about the final cost and actual gains from this frankstein-esk engine. where do you recomend getting parts for the swap, junkyard for the head? thanks.


oh btw this also has to be completly cali friendly.


i am open to other engine swaps, i have been searching and there is loads of info on this(not always good info) and i am haveing a hard time determining what would be the best route. haveing a vtec engine would be really cool and just swapping out the head seems to be the most affordable, but let me know what you guys think. thanks again.
