Allright I wanna know where the 15 hp extra the ex is getting???
Is it just from the ability to engage vtec or is their head tweaked a lil bit more and is their TB and IM different as well.
how much would it cost to just swap in a EX and wire in Vtec.

You mean is it worth it to swap in an EX engine? Not in a million years (unless your engine is busted).

You can't swap the EX head on the LX block feasibly.
