Hi lyff,
Thanks for visiting! The only engines that drop straight into your car are the A20A engines and A18 engines as well as an engine stamped 'ET' which was an early experimental form of A series.
These engines don't have VTEC, but they do have cast-iron blocks which makes them ideal for turbocharging. The A20A3 is found in a lot of preludes and accords so is readily available and a great little engine.
Hope that helps.
