golden eagle.com you can get an ls vtec kit that includes oil lines and all you need.. as for vtec you will need a ecu that the vtec head used and from there depending on what generation you will need to run 2-4 wires not too complicated if you search through the posts i put the write up in here somewhere 2 times now for people.. i dont want to type it a third time so lokk through the old posts its here either under integra or in the crx.. maybe one in each i cant remember where exactly i posted it.. good luck

You need to run wires as follows:

VTEC Solenoid
VTEC Pressure switch (some later model GSR heads don't have the pressure switch.)
Knock Sensor (you can avoid this if you want by chipping an ECU and disabling the knock sensor.  Some recommend this, some don't.
Intake Air Bypass solenoid (Only if you use a GSR head with its stock manifold).

The knock sensor has two wires, one a shilding wire which grounds to the engine and the other the wire to the ECU.
The pressure switch has two wires, one of which grounds to the engine, the other going to the ECU.

I suggest getting a Honda four wire connector from an auto wrecker so that you can disconnect these new wires in the event of an engine change or the like.

If you go with a GSR head with the stock manifold, the fit into the engine compartment is tight.  If you intend to add performance goodies such as an after market intake manifold, it might be wise to do that now.  The skunk2 manifold for example, in addition to providing power gains on the high end, also makes installation easier.  If you go with a B16/17 or a Type R head, there is not the same clearance issue.  B16/17 head is good, GSR is better and Type R is best for performance.  The better the head, the more the cost.

I used a B17 head because it was available and reasonably priced.  I had a valve job done on it and had the surface decked.  I installed new Type R springs and seals.  The total cost including parts and machine work was $1200.  I am in Canada so it might be cheaper in your area.
