Can you bolt a d16y7 head into a DPFI EF using all the dual point stuff with no modifications. My daughter's head is toast and I want to do a cheap replacement and I can get cheap d16y7 head. And would the original distributor work?

Thanks in advance.

 

I think it should work, but i would use the dual point cam to get as many mpg's, lol. Re use everything else thats original dual point.

 

wat is the best way to go for power for a 93 honda civic dx 2 dr its got a d15b7

 

Not really concerned about MPG would just like to keep it simple. My biggest concern is whether the dual point distributor will work on it.

 

the distributor will fit onto the head, but the bolt "ears" may not match up. it's possible though that two of the three would and that's enough to get by.

i think the D15B7 has nearly the same head casting as the D15B2 (dual point) that you have. it was the base engine in the model prior to the Y7. not sure where your deal is coming from, but if it helped i wanted you to be aware.

to confirm, the Y7 head will bolt up and allow use of the dual point manifolds. be sure you use the dual point intake manifold gasket to avoid leaks. you may just have to get creative with the distributor, but it will fit the opening in the head where it "meshes" with the camshaft.

Update: turns out i had a dual point distributor housing out in the garage... it does almost line up with all three "ears" but it would be my bet that in order to get it timed correctly you'll have to turn it to a point were maybe only two or even just one lines up. if you're brave, a dremel and or hack saw could provide the necessary slot length to get all three bolts in.

 

^D15B6 was from the 88-91 CRX HF. That's two generations before the D16Y7.

Also I don't believe the camshaft from your original head will bolt into the Y7 head. The bigger issue you'll encounter is mixing n matching for a timing belt that fits as well as ensuring that you compensate for mechanical camshaft timing. Good thing is you should have both camgears at your disposal.

 

typo: D15B7 was what i meant.

 

the A6 and B2 share the same bolt pattern for the distributor. every thread i search for says that it bolts up just fine. i'd be confident that it does indeed bolt up.

get an adjustable cam gear so that you can properly set ignition timing.

 

I believe you'll also have to mix and match head bolts and figure out a way to set cam timing as it'll be off.
