Default Is this even possible?
I was reading through some stuff and heard that you can take a D16 or D15 SOHC and covert it to DOHC by swaping heads from a 87-89 Acura Integra DOHC D16A1. Will it add a huge increase in tuning capabilities and increase in HP and torque? If so what kind of gains should be expected? How many HP does the D16A1 have? What would be needed to do this coversion?

Are you 100% sure? Why would it not be possible to do?

So even if you try to do machine work it will be 100% impossible?

yup...impossible. For the price of machining everything to fit *if you could even get it to* it would cost you more than a B16 swap I'm sure

I thought the K20A swap was crazy expensive like 8k...I know you were just exagerrating so they'd get the point.

just get a h22 they are cheaper, but doin the swap itself may cost more for labor and actual cutting.

Why, were you planning on leaving that out with the H22?

*BTW, in case you don't know...PS and A/C can be kept with an H22 swap*
