OK WELL I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH LEARNED A LITTLE BOUT BEAMS RED TOP AND BLACK TOP FROM WHAT I READ BLACK PUT OUT MORE THEN RED BUT RED HAS MORE PERFORMANCE UPGRADES AVALABLE IS THAT TRUE?......WHAT I DONT GET IS SOME SAY BLACK TOP IS NOT DUAL VVTI AND RED IS BUT OTHERS SAY BLACK TOP IS MAYBE IT DEPENDS ON THE GEN..THE BLACK TOP I WAS LOOKING AT COMES FROM A ALTEZZA.........WHAT DO YOU RECOMEND OUT OF THE 2? AND IF U HAVE MORE INFO PLZ LET KNOW...I DID A LITTLE MORE READIN AND WHAT I GOT WAS BLACK TOP WAS OUT IN 97 THEN RED TOP IN 98 BOTH DUAL VVT-I EXCEPT THE GREY TOP WITCH IS COLOR BLACK BUT CALLED GREY TOP IT ONLY HAS 1 VVT-I.......AND TO ANSWER MY OWN QUESTION (IS THERE A VTECH FOR OUR CARS)...YES AND NO THE DUAL VVTI BEAMS IS BASICLY A TOYOTA VERSION OF THE HONDAS VTECH......I AM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE DIFF BETWEEN THE DUAL BLACK AND THE DUAL RED TOP.......AND I KNOW ITS ONLY A DUAL UNLESS IT SAYS DUAL VVT-I RIGHT NEXT TO BEAMS

the 20V is a 1.6L 4 cylinder with 4 throttle bodies in 1 intake plenum. Pretty much its a little rev happy 1.6L that puts out somethin like 150HP. Its a good idea for a smaller car, or a swap for an ST model, but since you have a GT, your gonna come into alot more time and money to swap it in. Also with the power coming out of the 20V, your probably only gonna notice about 5 or 10 hp more then the motor you have in your car right now.

If you want power and keep it N/A, you can do the BEAMS swap, but be prepared to spend alot of $ on buyin the motor and swapping it. *Red tops run between $2500 for just the motor to about $5700 for a full clip*. Or you could do a non-VVTI 3SGE motor like the ones out of the european and JDM celica GTs. They push about 170HP with just intakes and headers, and are much easier to come by.
