i jst got done swapping in a d16y8 head on my stock d15z1 block. And i also put in an ex tranny. i ve heard people been saying because of the low compression. it would lose power and it isnt worth the time. But it feels like a stong mini me. i kept up with a civic si with bolt ons. But mine is stock with nothing.

 

Awesome. I wonder what the CR actually is. It'll def be lower than it wants to be but more power to you.

Does your old head have the vtec-e valve cover? I want that and the dizzy,

no lol...not PMS. PM's like private messages

 

oh the punning irony, you just have meant the PMS pistons that you're going to install in your d15z1 / d16y8 mini me! They come from the 02-05 gx. about 25 bucks from the dealership a piece !

FINALLY!!

 

Does it seem a lot faster than when it was a stock d15z1? I have the same motor and was thinking of doing the same thing. I already put an EX tranny in it and I walk EX coupes all the time. Did you try the intake manifold, throttle body, and ECU before swapping the head? I am going to do that before I swap the head onto mine. I am glad to see that someone has tried this and it actually does run.
