Also would i just be able to bolt on or would i run into any problems?

 

how the hell are we supposed to know

what kind of engine do you have?
what does the head come with?
whats the condition of the head?
what kind of head is it??

we need all this information before we can do anything beside guess.

 

Also I dont think this is going to work i have a 97 ex coup with the 1.6 sohc and i dont know which one it is the heads a d16z6 would this work for my motor?

 

d series motor = single OHC
b series motor = dual OHC (vtec)

 

and that has what to do with his question??
i hope he knows you cant put a b series head on a d series.

 

lol that would be funny, b heads on a d block. >.>

just for the head, 70 bucks? idk its your call, are you getting anything with it? you check if it has warpage and what not? where you finding this? other than that.. 70 bucks aint bad for a vtec head

 

If you have a EX, you should already have vtec.

 

its amazing none of you will answer his question in the title.

obviously we cant answer, "will it bolt on"

but we can answer that, yes $70 is a good price for a d series vtec head, if it is in good condition, hells its a decent price for a used head that needs minor work

im going to assume that he has a d16y7 or a d15b7 (dx model) civic between 92-00.

it will bolt on to the block, but there are some slight modifications need to do so, and we need to know what motor/car you currently have before giving any final answers

 

We do know what he has. Hence the he should already have vtec comment.

 

i didnt see that post. thanks for pointing that out.

i agree with b18ekhatch with Xx's

dont bother, you already have a vtec head

 

if the op has the original engine in his car they have the d16y8 which has vtec but it's not stamped on the valve cover. I had people arguing with me after I bought my hx because it does have vtec but all 96-00 sohc engines have a plain valve cover that just says honda. And yes I do have vtec-e which is just another form of vtec.

also the d16z6 is from the 92-95 civic which is obd1, the 96-00 civic's are obd2 so to use that head on your engine you're going to have to convert from obd2 to obd1 which is more than what I wanna get into right now but we need more info to be able to help you more.

 

you guys stop beating around the bush.
an OP u already have vtec
do your research about UR OWN car 1st
ur car came with d16y8 non vtec on ur car would be d16y7 but u have an ex model so vtec fo u OK!



end this threaddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

 

unless his y8 blew, a non vtec motor was dropped, and he misses vtec so bad he wants to rejoin his connection with it than he'd need a vtec head... and YES $70 for a vtec head that's complete is a good deal IMO...

 

thats not something i consider cheap, because in my area, you can find a complete swap for around $20

 

yea stolen for sure

 

^^haha most likely stolen..at least out here in cali

 

sorry for the epic typo, i meant $200

 

Wait a minute if the OP has a '97 EX, he already has a 'D' series SOHC VTEC head. So there is no need to buy what he already has.
