i was looking at a service manual for the EK and i was just sorta wondering if it's safe to just swap out the cylinder head on a D16 for a B18c, or for a cylinder head from any engine for that matter... is doing that ok as an alternative to a full on swap? and if i did do that then what else would i have to do besides get a new intake/exhaust manifold? if even that?

 

D and B dont equal. do a full swap.

what do you mean don't equal??? i don't mean to drill or be a bother but from the diagrams it looked like as far as the engine block itself went all i had to do was swap out everything from the cylinder head up and change the timing belt?

 

what he means is that the B-series head will NOT bolt onto the D-series block and vice versa.

i'm sure it's not impossible to do, but it'll cost more than a swap to get something like that to run. just do a full swap if that's what you want.

if not, can always put on a VTEC head from a D16Z6 or a D16Y8. do a search on it and you'll find out what you'll need to do that. it's also called a "mini-me".

good luck dood.

thanks for clearing that up for him

 

mini me, i've heard of that but i'm not sure what it is... i'm gonna look into that... but i've got a D16Y8 already. is a z6 better???? i gotta do a tranny swap too pretty soon = P i'm running an automatic right now. thanks a lot though guys = )

 

i once was like you.

well you should just try making it manual.
and then geting a b series motor(dual over head cam.DOHC)
or a singlecam vtec. d15b jdm

 

you already have a decent engine. convert to manual and boost it.
