Default D15B SOHC VTEC head on a D16Y7?

Can it be done? A friend of mine just bought a 97 DX coupe and he wants to add a vtec head but we can only find d15b (JDM) in our junkyard and ordering is out of the question.

Can we use the head and a MSD rpm activated switch for vtec? What about the dizzy plugs? Can we use the dizzy and just rewire it wi obd2 plugs or is it a no no?


THANKS

What timing belt is to be used? How much can we mill off the head to achieve a higher compression?

Sup man, I did this swap on my 96 d16y7 block, in my hatchback, I just went to honda and got a timing belt and head gasket for my 92 d16z6 head and threw it on there. as far as the dizzy goes i used a 93 vx distributor and wired on the obd2 dizzy plug, all the wires are the same down to the color, but the obd2 dist. only has one plug rather than 2. Feel free to IM me with any specific questions.
