To my knowledge, the D15B Non-VTEC and the D16A6 Non-VTEC heads are nearly identical.

An adjustable cam gear is your friend, or be prepared for a 4 degree timing issue.

yes it will fit
with the si cam and intake manifold and the cam advanced 4 degrees it will pull harder than a stock si will

Besides, do you really want your valves 4 degrees out of sync with your pistons on a tired old motor?

yeah a cam gear would fix the problem. I woldn't go more then 3 degrees advance/retard. if you retard it you should get more top end, and advancing it will give you alittle more down low.
