Default JDM D15B VTEC - MINIME question

Hey guys, I'm new to the D-Series world. Had a 300 WHP LS/VTEC Integra, sold it, now wanna try to build a D-series in my EK Hatch.

Feel like such a noob asking this, but nothing found in search. Found lots on the Y8 or Z6 Minime's but nothing using the head from a JDM D15B.

My plan is to swap out my D16Y7 for a JDM D15B and build the D16 block over winter (rods & pistons - maybe sleeves.

Then come spring, pull out the D15B, build a y7block/15Bhead Mini-me and boost it.

Since the JDM D15B is VTEC and OBDI, Hondata will be a breeze.

My only question is will that block/head go together, and what will I need to do it (cam gear, belt, head gasket etc......)

Thanks very much guys.

God I hope no one posts up links from search - though I know some of you will look just to prove me worng....

Yes convert your ek to obd1 run a p28 and your golden. Use y8 timing belt, y8 head gasket, don't forget to pull out plug on vtec oil passage, wire up vtec and boost it.
