thinking about doing a b16a motor swap but that would cost me around
$1,500... and the reason why i want the swap is to feel that strong pull when the
VTEC kicks in at a certain RPM... my question is... is there anything I can do
to make my SOHC VTEC pull like a DOHC without having to do the motor
swap? Help would be appreciated.. Thanks alot!

turbo or supercharger at stock psi will get you around the b16 area in terms of horsepower.

You'd need to do some extensive head work and either raise your compression or run boost. You could get that 'pull' out of N2O, but it's temporary and can have some negative consiquences.

Negative consequences can occur from boost and high compression as well. I'm sure you already knew that but I wanted to make it clear for anyone who doesn't

You're absolutely right, but I've seen entire garages in shambles cause idiots hooked the bottle warmers up wrong.
