my buddy has a p08-2 sohc vtec head and we are not sure which head it is(z6,y8,vx, jdm d15b). i searched but could not find a definite answer to this aside from the usual "it's a soch vtec head" kind of answer which i already know. any info or links to help me out would be great. If anybody knows specs and/or differences in the head from other heads i would love to know these specs.
Thank you for any help,
Aaron

P08 is the head off a JDM D15B sohc vtec motor. I do not know what the "xxx-2" is there for, but p08 is D15b vtec head. Very similar to a D16Z6 head but has more aggressive cams from what I read. The head with the 'silver' valve cover is 95+ and the black valve cover was on pre-95 models; both are pretty much the same.

http://asia.vtec.net/article/d15b/ thats some more info on the D15B.

also, D15B is jdm sohc vtec
D15B7 is the USDM sohc "DX" motor as far as I know.

it could easily be a stock z6 head ive seen many z6 heads with p08 on them, but i also have a d15b and it says p08 ill check and see if theres any numbers after the p08

canis

ive seen both, ive seen guys that have got the po8 on the D16z6 and the d15, so i have no clue, from what ive seen there the same damn thing, but i dont know ****..

p08's are the casting for z6 and d15b heads. this one is a 1992. im not sure how to check which one it is..maybe take the cam out and measure the profile, cause they are different

slotec

yea the cams are different, everything else is pretty much identicle even the intake manifold and dizzy but exhauzt manifold is different

Wide VTEC lobe =D15B, Narrow VTEC lobe = Z6.
