Default VTEC and DOHC VTEC

I have a 98Accord LX Gold Edition, w/ 2.3L VTEC, and I want to know if it is possible to change a VTEC into a DOHC VTEC w/o doing an engine swap.

Wow, yeah you are a noob :lmao: Sorry.

Check out www.howstuffworks.com and learn about engines...it's a great and easy website to use. H23 is the old Prelude motor, which didn't have VTEC. It would be such an expensive and time consuming project, and in the end you'd wind up with...a Honda Accord with maybe 5 extra horsepower and more pronounced VTEC engagement. If you did everything right. I don't even know how you'd do it though.

I have heard of the H-F series hybrids, however given the age of the Accord a '98. It would be financially cheaper to sell the Accord and just buy a 98 Lude with an H22 Vtec.
