i currently have a stock d15y5 on my 98 hx 5spd and was planning to start some work soon ( headers, CAI, Exhaust ).

i was talking to a friend and he mentioned swapping to a b16 head which would give me real vtec.

is swapping the head going to actually give me more hp?

has anyone ever done it before?

What other options are there besides a full swap , or am i just better off with that.
If you couldent tell im am New at this so any feedback would be appreciated.

 

1. Search
2. Your VTEC fluid is probably low, hence why you don't have VTEC right now


But really, no the head will not give you more HP because it doesn't fit. You can swap a d16z6 or d18y8 head and that'll give you VTEC

 

^ thanks for the feedback but will swapping heads benefit me in any way?
im still unsure wat it will do for me.

 

u need a sohc vtec head..
a dohc vtec head wont fit on a sohc block


im selling a sohc vtec head with complete intake manifold...

It'll give you a little more power, or you can out the money towards a budget turbo build that'll give you much more power

 

^ the turbo idea sounds interesting
appreciate the feedback

anyone else?
