Default Need Help on Heads.

I have a 94 4 door with a 1.5 in it,i have found another 1.5 that i think has a good head but it came out of a 95 civic HB, so it is the lower horsepower motor,I was wanting to make sure the head would fit and also it wouldnt drop my horsepower. Also I was wondering if i ported and polished the head ,put a bigger cam and valves in it how much power gain would i make?
I have the basic bolt on's,cat back,intake,header,
soon to have a programmable ECU.

If i am not mistaken if its teh 1.5 L on the 4 door the 1.5L in the hatchback will be the same exact motor unless the engine in the hatchback is the VX engine which is a VTEC E motor. The head should be the same and will bolt the same way as any sohc head. As far as what can be done to the SOHC ?, I honeslty never played with them before to see what works or what not.

Depends on how much you're willing to spend. A nice alternative would be to buy a D16 swap from the guys going hybrid. I seen a complete D16 swap with like 40k miles for as low as $350. I'm pretty sure you'll get a little more torque and more choices for upgrades..... dat's my $.02

BE careful, the cx hatch came with an eight valve 70 hp motor, this will not work on your motor if it came with the 16 valve 1.5l. If the valve cover says "16 valve, you shouldn't have a problem. Why not a d16z6 head? Mini-me=good
