gotta a friend with a EG hatch. the previous owner put a d15b in it but after my friend bought it it threw a rod. he has a b7 we are going to put in it but i wanted to get a lil info.

1 does the B head bolt onto the B7?
2 the b7 is 102hp, the b is 130 hp. is the major difference in the head(vtec vs nonvtec)? and with that what kinda number difference can we expect?
im sure ill think of more questions as we go. hes got it half tore down now........mostly just pulling the motor now.

im sure ill think of more questions.

thanks for the help.

 

Yeah that head will work

 

that head will work

 

b head on a b7 block... = b

 

d15b7 will plug right up you will probably have to plugs on the back of the b7 under the intake manifold and on the d15b their is only one plug just fyi the plug is probably still back their on the harness but should be a direct swap

 

so the power should be the same with b7 block and b head?

well im jumping the gun just a lil here. it threw a rod so who knows if the head is ok.

Blk99ek, do you know what those plugs are for?

 

umm why are u going from a jdm to usdm? D15b=JDM, D15B7=USDM DX 1.5L non vtec.

 

the o/p said it threw a rod...

 

hey those b7 can hang , when i had mine in my car i tried to blow it at the track with red line launches and nothing. drove it fro a year and sold it . 189,000 miles on it

 

ok so we ran into another snag. pulled the head off the B and the head gaskets dont match. 2 bolt holes dont line up.........any thoughts on this?
