Default I need help!

Ok I just got my 1994 Honda Del Sol VTEC. My friend wants to sell me his head off his 2001 GSR. Is this mod driect bolt on/change ecu?

Or should I just get a Apex'i VAFC II for my car?

do not do it. you already have a very good flowing head. what other mods do you have?

and you have a b16a3, not a1.

decide if you want to boost it or go NA. then figure out your budget. then proceed to mod accordingly.

a vtec controller on a stock engine is a waste of time and money.

i dont want to boost it this year, i want to start out simple, but i still want some good mods on it. i am doing headers, intake, cat, muff, etc(catback), plugs and wires....i want to do some other things this year. what do you know that i can install that will somehow increase power. like air and fuel regulators?

i wouldnt bother with a vafc. the only way to benefit from it is plenty of dyno time and an experienced tuner. my advice would be either keep it NA and buy a good header maybe put in new cam sprockets to mess withg timing and other things of that sort. but for all the money youll put into having a nice NA setup, you might as well jus tbuild a turbo kit and have more power
