First you need to find a complete head... Then you just put it on. Simple as that.

type-s also have higher compression pistons... so the gains might not be that much...

i know what you could do... there is a compression/hp gain calculator out there somewhere, find the gains off 160hp eng with 9.8(i think, check http://www.acura.com) to a 11.1(?) compression... then subtract the gains from 200hp... iunno...
