hey whats up? i was asking around about how to make more hp out of my d16 non-vtec in my 99 hatch, and was told that i could swap the head to a vtec one the use 88-89 integra d16a1 factory pistons and get 12.6:1 compression or just swap in the integra pistons and get 11:1 compression which im told is close to that of a type-r motor. what i want to know is, is there any one who has done this and is the info i have been given accurate? hit me up in a pm with info, and anyother tips on producing more hp from my factory motor without turbo.

 

any info at all????????????????????

 

higher compression does mean more HP, dont know too much about the b16 block, i know the b16 vtec head is popular with frankensteins since it has a higher airflow capacity. if the b16 non vtec block has as higher displacemtn than the standard b16 vtec then slapping a vtec head on it will create more power, otherwise it will just turn it into a b16 vtec (which im guessing would still be more hp).
not sure of the actual compression numbers taht you'll get from using ones from different motors, i use welco pistons.
if your looking for other things for more power then you would probably want to get the standard bolt-ons and a tune, those would give u the most bang for your buck, especially a cold air intake, you can probably find a good one for 200 bux
