i gotta 98 dx bottom. whats better to put on a 5th gen head or 6th gen head? and where can i get a 6th gen head? 96+ and whats this i hear more about square combustion chambers and a better powerband due to the vtec solenoid? if any of you guys can help me thx. i plan on somewhat building the head and doing the swap myself.

 

hey I just put on a 98 EX head and manifold on my 00 CX bottom

It was a pretty basic bolt on

car is faster, but not really fast

 

Get the 6G head. The square combustion chamber is better than the Z6's. Also you get a higher compression ratio than the 5G head.

already got the 5g head. all im needing now is the distributor, vtec harness and p28. anybody know any good deals?

 

I'm working on swapping an EX head onto my 96 DX. I know on 96 up, the VTEC and non VTEC distribs are the same. On the wiring harness, I've been wondering if you can just make a VTEC switch, using something like the MSD RPM activated switch and forego swapping the expensive harness and ECU. Anybody else know about this? And damnit, was diggin around the junkyard the other day and finally found a 98 EX motor, but they would onl sell it complete. They onyl wanted 550 for the complete engine with 12k miles, but damnit, I don't need the whole thing.

did you have to run oil lines like the ls/vtec?

 

You don't have to run the oil lines....

 

anybody got torque specs?

im getting the head pnp and valvecover powdercoated blue.

 

anybody got details on how to wire the harness? plus do i hafta get the same ecu as the year of the head or block?

 

I recommend geting an ecu

with my swap, i used the field VTEC controller but there seems to be a problem somewhere with the VTEC

I think you should also get a VTEC distributor, as 1 of the wires inside is different than the non-VTEC
