just bought a y8 block and it came with a p08-1 head, which i believe to be the jdm d15b head correct? is this a good setup? i have heard of the y7/y8 and z6 swaps, but never this one.. any info?

Is the car working properly? If so then don't worry about it.

actek988

nope not in car. and I'm not really worried about it as i have the righteous head for the block. i mean i don't see why it wouldn't work without some fine tuning. they put k20 heads on k24 blocks and si heads on gsr blocks so i don't see the difference.

P08 head could have come from either a D16Z6, OBD1 SOHC Vtec ZC or an OBD1 D15B Vtec, they all use the same P08 head. Yes it will work, you might need a Y8 cam gear though.

Just run a z6 timing belt, you always run the belt to the head you are using, easier than finding the cam gear. However i believe the z6 and y8 have the same teeth per gear, don't quote me, could be wrong on the gear size.

actek988

ok. ill look into the timing belt/cam gear thing for future the future.

so this y8 block i just purchased is bored .25 over.. eagle rods. vitara pistons. and i have both this p08 head and a y8 head. now I'm unsure on what head to use on the block. i plan on running all motor high(er) compression, as this will be a daily driver. car will most likely be tuned on hondata. i don't know how much compression i should run, and what head to use to achieve it either.. lol i just want a strong turbo-ready daily.
