Re: vtec head swap (03civic*****)

i dont think it will work. the head is a obd1 cant just throw it on the obd2. also if you have to pass smog it wont pass leave it like it is or find a obd2 ex head and then wire up the vtec hope it all works out

Re: vtec head swap (ham)

is it possible to put a vtech head on my D15B7? I could save money that way but maybe I should just go for one of the smaller swaps??

Yes you can put a SOHC Vtec head on your B7 Block: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=554053

I neglected to respond to his initial post but later on he asked if he could put it on a d15b7.

I agree with JL with his statement.

Re: vtec head swap (jL iLLuZiOnz 9)

So what series is in the 03 civic then? If it's not a D? And not a B? and not a K or H or F. I just don't remember, I would have to run to the Honda dealer and my car isn't here right now. DAMN CM CLUTCHES SUCK!!! BTW..
