I have a 94 integra RS non-vtec, is there any way I can make it a vtec? would it be cheaper than getting a B18C1 swap? and how much hp would I get?

yeah you could do a ls/ convo which is taking a b16 head and placing it on a b18 block and adding gsr parts it would be alot cheaper then doing the full gsr swap

LS vtec is the way to go way more torque and you feel the power..The only thing is that if you have stock bottom end it wont las tthat long maybe a year tops if you race it alot...

Mine lasted 8 months at 9000 rpms ..i chipped the ecu and did some porting and polishing ...just be careful on how you drive it...But VTEC is the shit...
