the vtec sohc d15b valves looks bigger than the vtec-e ones, should i change anything on the d15b vtec head to make it bolt on the vtec-e head?

it's a direct swap mechanically, but it will not run the same, nor will it produce as much power.

the VTEC-e pistons have a huge dish to compensate for the low smaller combustion chamber in the head.
the dish in those pistons is too large for your head, even with a turbo application. (~7.5:1 compression)

pull the engine apart, replace the rings, and tune the car. (or you'll be burning rings again)
