What are the difference between the y7 and y8 block, are they the same? Would my D16y7 with a y8 head be less appealing than a complete d16y8?

just swap a full y8 into the car if u have nothing done, it can be had for under 1000 for eveything, u will be much happer, untill my y7 beats ur ***.

My Y7 would OWN you..would have...gone now...Y7 is non-vtec bro...biggest difference

No offense, but WTF does less appealing mean if it works the same as the Y8? Who are you attempting to appeal to?

It doesn't work the same as the Y8. He's wondering why it should appeal more to him.

Bottom line, the Y8 has VTEC y0!!!

It'd be the equivalent of an LS-Vtec swap. Taking a non-Vtec block and swapping on a Vtec head. Just get the Y8.

Yes, but the question was in regards to placing a Y8 head on the Y7 block. Where is the appeal factor, they would both be equipped with vtec.

I was just wondering if the block and internals were the same, regardless of wether the heads are different (Vtec and non-vtec). The bottom line is, is a D16y7 and D16y8 the same motor with different heads, one Vtec and one not vtec?

I was wondering if it would be an appealing swap (to me) if the heads were different, but everything else the same. That way I can buy just the head, ECU, and save money temporarily. I'm not factoring in the differences in the tranny because I'll have an EX tranny soon enough.
