You mean a jdm D15B vtec head right? I'm guessing you would need to use the VX timing belt. The y7 block does not have an oil jet on the top of the block so don't worry about that. Why don't you just put a z6 or y8 head on the block?

btw, I have a y8 head on a y7 block.

Im boosting my mini-me as we speak....I have heard that the compression increases with a vtec head due to the shape of the pistons (correct me if im wrong). That is why im buildint mine with lower compression pistons. But mild boost should be alright with the mini me in stock form.
