Default Can this head swap be done???

I got a POS 1.5 L (8 valve) I have never owned a Honda before this one and it just doesn't have the power. I have already put a stage 2 clutch on it, AEM cold air intake, DC header, Apexi exhaust system under it.
I'm thinking I should be able to bolt a 1.5L (16 valve) head on it without having any trouble or having to modify anything is this right?
Or if not does anyone have any suggestions of how to get some more bolt on power??? PLEASE help!!

Also I've herd that there is more horsepower available just by getting the stock engine tunned because they are all factory de-tunned is this B.S. or no?? if not what about tunning it with the bolt on's I have is it worth it??

Again PLEASE help I know nothing about Honda's!

Idk if that would work or not..the pistons only have valve reliefs for 2 valves per cylinde..there might be some contact if you were to add 4 per cylinder, but im not positive.

Anywayyy the d15b8 is a p.o.s just like the b7..no power is available, just junk it and swap in a better motor.
