OK, here's the story, I had to replce my bottom end on my B16a1 DOHC VTEC. I bought a bottom end from this guy I know. It comes off of a B16a non VTEC, he told me that it will bolt right up and VTEC will still be working. Is this tru, or will there need to be modification. I know that the head determines VTEC, not the bottome ned. So will a B16a DOHC VTEC head put onto a B16a non VTEC bottom work?

 

all B16A engines are VTEC - is it from a B18?

 

nope, it is def from a B16a it has the B16a engine code on it.

 

then it is vtec

 

All B16a's are VTEC.

 

buy a ls bottom

 

not an easy job for someone that isnt relatively experienced in honda tech

 

If someone said they were selling you a non-vtec B16 thay need to quit the business.

 

I would probably go for the LS or CR vtec route with this one if you have the extra bit of cash.
