#217642 you will need to wire vtec into your engine harness, or get an engine harness out of any 92-95 Civic Si or EX, or any 93-95 Delsol Si.

You can do that. You just have to get a VTEC ECU and then find a guide on how to do it. There are three pins going to the ECU that have to have wires added and then connected to various parts/plugs to make VTEC work. I don't remember how because wiring intimidates me so I had someone else do it for me.
