VTEC Head Swap
I'm planning on putting the D15 VTEC head onto my 95 D15 non-VTEC motor. What parts will I need for it besides the head itself??? And where would I be able to get said parts? Which year and model VTEC head would be best for the most gain? I should also let you know too that I am planning on boosting it with a turbo build that I spotted for the extra pick up and go.

Re: VTEC Head Swap
WHY THE HELL DOES EVERYONE WANNA RUN A D15 Vtec head? unless you just have one laying around its better to just have a z6 or y8 head. you would have many more options down the road if you ever wanted to install a cam. the d15 head does not make any more power because it has 2 stage vtec and roller rockers. if your boosting it i would prefer the z6 head the y8 does not really like any advanced ignition and seems to be alil harder for people to tune. when ever running a y8 head on a obd1 ecu you have to run a z6 timing gear . which will throw cam timing out 4.5 degrees and will need adjusted with whatever software u use to tune. its possible but many people that don't know what their doing tend to get lost.

Re: VTEC Head Swap
just leave what u have and turbo it .. Vtec in a d series is not going to net much more power. ive seen boosted y7's that make the same power with the same turbo as my z6. id sell it for money toward your turbo kit. or keep it and build it and port n polish it then put it on there.
