buy the Golden Eagle LS/VTEC kit. I think it's like 200$ at www.goldeneagle.com. Have your head checked for flatness, get some arp headstuds, and you can do everything yourself at home (if you have reasonable mechanical ability).

If you have a b18 in ur civic now, thats about the most tq youre gonna get. The fact that you cannot spell vtec, leads me to believe that you are 16 years old. All the information you need to know is already posted over on Honda-tech, and if you are serious about the swap, read up.

Nothing more needs to be said
