    First of all, you asked this question million times. you should know by now that that motor will fit with place racing mounts and axels and wirring.
    second of all, you still have carb, so conver to EFI before you even drop anything into the motor. converting to EFI is not as easy as you think. you have to rip half of your car and change half the shit.
    third of all, yes you can make it Vtec motor. drop B18 head on it and you will be fine. if you want to make it stronger, well there are many companies that make parts for that kind of hybrid.
    forth of all, do you even have the money for that? that swap will run you more that $5 with hybrid motor. i hope you have some serious job to start this project.

    and for the love of GOD, could you please ask a mod or someone else on this board about it before you post it because i can see alot of people being pissed at you right now.
    Alex.

    Give him some credit, all he asked was whether or not you could put Vtec on a B20b/z. A fair question. The answer is yes, it's called a CRVtec, very similar to LSVtec. Check out this forum:
    http://www.honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=18
    and this site:
    http://www.hondaswap.com/

    Lot's of info on these sites.

    As far as building them up, you can pretty much do anything. Aftermarket support is great for these engines. How much do you want to spend?

    I asumme you got banned because you were a noob based on your questions all over this board. Usually a question can be answered by searching and by searching i dont mean type one thing and then saying "Oh I can't find it" then suddenly post it up.

    B20b/z with vtec exist. You can use a b18 head or a b16 head with vtec to do the job. Just a careful thought, if you don't know what you are doing to convert to vtec, it might be troublesome and quite dangerous.

    I got banned because i put a post saying don't buy gas on this day and the mod said he didn't agree with it and deleted my post. So i got mad and PM him and asked why and then he said don't argue with me and banned me.

    Thanks for the info i do not know how to onvert to vtec but my friend does and he said he will do it for me.
