I know that some of ya'll are goin to think that I am out of my mind and that I am just a retard that does not know what he is talking about. But the reason that I am asking this is b/c I read somewhere before that it was a direct bolt up. That a guy once compared the gaskets and they matched up perfectly. Well tommorow my dad and I will be goin to pick up an 88 integra which has this engine. I was just wandering if I could put the head on my block. ( I have a 93 si hatchback.) I know that I would be giving up VTEC, but is there not anyway that you can make this head VTEC? I am currently boosted so it wouldnt really hurt my feelings if I dont have VTEC, but i would like it if I could have it. And would the y8 head fit on the d16a1 head. I know it does on the z6, but what about the a1? Also is there any aftermarket cams for the a1 head? I know it is alot of questions, but any help is very much appreciated.

Please tell whoever you got your info from that it is wrong so that maybe they will stop spreading misinformation. It is NOT a direct bolt up. There is one head bolt that does not line up and it would take more money and effort than it is worth to try and make it fit. The ONLY engines that share the head bolt pattern with the D16A1 are the JDM ZC, the EDM A8/A9, and the 84-87 EW/D15A3. And the D15A3 takes a fair amount of fab work to be able to use it. I think this has been discussed several times so please SEARCH.
