I am putting a d16y8 head on a non vtec car. If i do this without an ecu that will run the vtec will I mess on thing up on my current ecu? And are there any problems I might not know of installing this head without a correct ecu and etc...?

If you end up doing it before you get the ECU let us know how it runs.
