Re: d16y7 and d15 vtec (IknowYou)
im pretty sure the d15 head should fit on the y7 bottom end, just like my z6 head fits on my y7, you just need the complete head with distributer and the intake manifold, most likely (not 100% sure) need d15 head bolts and run any vtec ecu your just gonna need a obd jumper harness if you go anywhere from obd-II.

Re: d16y7 and d15 vtec (fuzzy_mc)
you shold just use the D15b that you have in the car. dont swap blocks. put the Y7 head gasket in the D15, that should bump up compression, add about 5 hp. if it is a three layer gasket. im not too sure what comes with the y7. but thats about all you can do. swapping blocks is too much work, probly no gains. tell me what computer (ecu) you have. Maybe i can get you a chip that can help.
