So i searched and looked at the motor list and everything but im confused. Im getting a free D16Y7 and the list said it was non-vtec but im 100% positive it has a vtec head on it. the kid never changed the head or anything. Did anything ever come like that? And also has anyon used a D15B8 for a mini me?
ben

 

look for a vtec solenoid. Also double check the block code If your unsure.

 

Nope, a y7 is a y7, 1.6liter non vtec. If it has been swapped out for a VTEC head, you would clearly see a VTEC solonoid up by the valve cover breather hole.

 

Its got the solenoid, thats whats confusing, and im almost positive its a D16Y7

Then its been head-swapped obviously, most likely a Y8 head since it is an OBD2 motor.

 

lol idk, i emailed him to have him check. IDK i know its got the sauce so idc, im using that head for my mini me since he said it was knocking

ASK HIM FOR A PICTURE OF THE BLOCK CODE.

If it's a Y8 then it'll have a VTEC solenoid, if it's a Y7 w/ a Y8 head it will have a VTEC solenoid. If it's a Y7 it will NOT have a VTEC solenoid.

If it's a Y7 and it's VTEC, HE SWAPPED THE HEAD.

Jeez, I've never seen so many complications over a simple concept in my entire life.

 

Chill. i am finding it out. This guyat my work is a honda nut, said D16Y7 is the OBD2 motor with vtec

He told you wrong

y7 is the 1.6liter, nonvtec 96-00 OBD2 , with that downdraft manifold that everyone just loves.
The y8 is the 96-00 1.6 liter VTEC motor that is OBD2.
