Default mini me head choices - b16y7 block

So im thinking about rebuilding my engine it just hit 210,000km no problems with it but i would like more horse power and im going to have this car for quite a while so ...

im thinking along the lines of a mini me bulid

expect maybe adding a new cam and pistions

What do you think would be the best head to use with a b16y7 block ?

The Y8 head would be the easiest bolt-in head.

It's the most popular because it's the easiest, and most straight forward. Just get a Y8 head that matched your OBD revision, and the matching ECU. Get a vtec harness from Rywire, or make one yourself.

Just remember that 96-98 and 99-00 are different.

a y8 head is not going to net the hp ur wanting that little bit of grunt will disappear with another passenger int he car. if u want more power form a d series Boost it. and not an ebay kit either. u gotta pay to play if u want it to last.
