Whats up everybody. im new here and this is my first post so here it goes. I own a 2000 civic DX i dont have the time, or experience to perform a complete engine swap. would it be worth it to swap my sohc head with a vtec head? Im seriously considering this project but want to do some research first. Any information that you guys could give me will be very helpful.

 

I would say its less headache to swap in a d16y8.

if you swap the y8 head, intake mani, tranny and get bolt ons, your compression ratio will be higher than that of the y8 so you get more power. I think i seen once that you can dyno more hp than a EM1 Si with an intake

 

ifyour interested im selling a 99-00 d16y8 head w/o intake manifold but everything else included in a head for $200 has about 60k and in great condtion

 

if you dont wanna go through the "hassle" of swapping motors, then yes it would be worth it. theres countless writeups on how to go mini-me.

 

hey top notch one ill give you 150 for the head cause i have the manifold already u intrested or make another offer

 

i have a 2000 head that i am possibly willing to sell for 150, the head has 95,000 miles on it

 

when didi u last use it and wat comes with it

 

not its not worth it...i have seen dynos of d16y7's putting down 108-110 with i/h/e with the crap manifold...i have a friend that knows a guy who hit mid 13's in a full interior working a/c,p/w,p/s and all he did was add a greddy turbo kit...and a y8 manifold...i think he was boosting 13-14lbs...and his shiet was keeping up with h22turbo hatches(traction) but hey a race is race...having traction problems is cool till you lose...hmmm.

 

i wouldn't do it. i have however seen some impressive numbers from the sohc guys boosting their d-series (food for thought).
