well i just figured out the sol has a cracked head, and i have a friend giving me a d16y7 head. question is, is there anything special that has to be used or that i need from the y7 engine, or anything i have to do for it to work on the d15b block. the y7 is non vtec i think ( somebody can correct me if i'm wrong ) so if i'm using all my d15 stuff, im, em, and ecu the head should bolt right on and run fine right? any help is appriciated as always. thanks

 

non vtec, bolts right on

 

awsome. so no timing belt change or anything? i know to use the y7 gasket.

 

oh yeah use the D16 timing belt. the head is taller so the belt is a tad longer. sowy

 

thats cool , thanks though. i had a feeling i had to use the y7 belt but wasent sure. thanks again

 

look at "mini-me" forums since i'm doing the the same thing to my 98 DX coupe

 

what if it were a d16 vtec head? i would need the head gasket, harness, belt and ecu, correct?

 

no wtf. Its a d15b, the head is not taller. A d16y7 head is the same height as d15b head becaues a d15b head is the same as a D16Z6 head. The only difference that i am not sure of is the timing belt. Although i think a d15b uses a d16 timing belt anyway.

 

D15B uses the VX belt, D15Z1, 1 tooth shorter.
