Default vtec in a 89 crx DX

my friend has a CRX DX and he wants to add a vtec head. Someone is telling him that it is really easy and there is only 1 or 2 wires that will need to be run. I don't know alot about hondas so i dont know if i tis true or not. what all is involved with adding vtec to that car. He wants to get a b16b (i think thats the motor) and turbo it. I do all my work to my nissans and i want to help him but i need to know how much and what kind of work this would be.

He obviously has no clue, in which case he needs to take it to a shop, before he fucks something up. It's not hard, if you have at least SOME technical knowledge, which it seems he doesnt.

I have converted 88-91 Civic/CRX Si ECUs with vtec out, then you'll only have to do whatever wiring changes are required to make the car the same as an Si. Go here for more info on the ECU.
