my friend has a 88 dx crx and he wants to get vtec. He as a the stock d15b engine in there! can he swap a 1.6 vtec head or will he have to get a 1.5 vtec head? Also he will be doi9ng the multi point swap also what will he need for this? throttle cable?new wiring harness? would it be easiest just to switch to an obd1 wiring harness? will the block be compatible? i searched but couldnt find it. any threads or advice would be well appreciated! also anyone who has done this before did u run into any problems and was the swap worth it or should he just save up for a zc or something?

 

1. buy my spare y8 head
2. buy one of my spare y8 intake manifolds
3. buy one of my spare multi point injection harnesses
4. get a timing belt for a y8 head (i just happen to have a brand new honda one of those too )
5. get a head gasket and IM gasket for a y8
6. get some tools and take of the head/IM/crank pulley (good luck on that last one)
7. remove oil control valve
8. clean crappy old gasket materil off block
9. install gasket/head/retorque
8. install timing belt (make sure everything is at TDC)
10. plug in wires
11. start car, set timing.
12. drive.
13. SEARCH
