Was this swap done for the sake of getting a VTEC-E engine in your car? Wouldn't the time/money/effort spent on a swap totally negate any fuel savings you would get from economy-oriented variable valve timing?

Also, what type of ECM did you use? Would this engine with the current ECM pass strict Cali emissions regulations?
