I am going to give a genuine response to the OP on the off chance that he is being genuine and from a different country where English is not his first language.
OP, I am not aware of there being an nb6 engine that had vvt. My knowledge was that in Europe there were nb6 and nb8 engines that the rest of the world had. Either engine would not be entirely a plug and play affair since you have a na6 chassis. To use any engine on your stock ecu would require you to keep your cam angle sensor. To use vvt, that would require using the separate cam and crank sensors which won't work on your ecu, so for now give up on that idea.
If you are looking to install a better engine in your car for the time being and run a stock ecu, you can use a bp4w engine and re install your cam angle sensor into the back of the head where the block off plug is and disregard the cam and crank sensors. If money is tight, disregard any idea of a non bp engine swap. If you go ahead with the bp4w swap you will need the engine mounts from the bp4w, an adapter to re use your throttle body on the intake manifold of that engine, a different header... essentially everything in the FM swap kit.
Good luck. your easiest option is likely to be replace your existing engine with another na6 engine.

The NB6 engine will have both a cam and crank sensor.
It MAY be possible to use your old cam sensor on the new head but I'm not sure because we don't see those engines here. If not, you will need to make use of the one already on the new engine.

OP have you come up with a solution to this yet? I am in the same boat. I bought and engine from an online dealer and the description was 99-00 engine. I did not realize the market outside of the USA had a 1.6 in 99-00. I have tried to cancel the order, but if that doesn't play out I'm stuck with it. I had only realized after going through with payment and revisiting the pictures that it said B6.

They’re trying to do the same swap. So I’m asking if they found a solution for the issues they will or currently are running into in doing so. Since there obviously isn’t much documentation on it, I will be running into the same problem. So was seeing if they were able to find away to overcome said issues?
