96 Ex vs. DX Accord

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.

EX has different header, cam, and I'm not sure what else is different.
