you can get an F23A1 or A4 (both VTEC) off of ebay for about $500. That's the 98-02 Accord engine. Let me know the engine code of your car and I'll be able anser your question.

get the vtec f22. Then you can keep OBD1 emissions. If you switch you'll abide by stricter rules under obd2b.

ww.Yes they'll charge you and power numbers won't change as much as powerband. The VTEC F22 head and ECU will make your life a lot easier.
