you have to switch everything over to fuel injection even if you just do the head swap. I dont know if anyone has actually got the vtec head working or not. Im thinking about doing it but not until i see a dyno of one. Tom coleman had one going but he wasnt getting much more power out of it yet.

Your engine is carbonated?!? Does it give you gas?

Sorry man, but I have an S too, and I have been told it wont work because it is a SOHC and the head bolts are lined up differently than a DOHC. I am not sure, but I bought a spare Si engine anyway so I wouldn't have to take mine out. When I pull my S out I will take measurements and see whats really up.

dude the b20 engines are exactly the same accept for that they have different cylinder heads and i think different pistons but other than that, that is all
