was wandering if a different head would fit on a d16y8 block. is there a way tio go from sohc to dohc without a swap?

thasnks

 

no

 

To be more specific, other heads fit, but it has too be a SOHC head. You cannot put a DOHC head on a SOHC motor. What is the reason for swapping?

 

me and my mechanic were talking and were just curious. weve both heard different things, suppusidly a d16 block and a certain b series head make a super motor of sort(what weve heard) and i was posting to see if it was true.

id like a little more pep around town but thats about all im trying to accomplish.

 

you both have heard wrong...no b-series head can go on a d16 block.

as far as I know the only honda dohc heads that can be swapped onto sohc blocks is a h22/f20b heads can go on a f22/f23 blocks

 

we thought it was BS but thats why im asking..lol

I'm building my little d series one part at a time..lol. got a vtec controller...just got to get it put in..lol

 

why did you get one of those?

 

cause it was free

its one of these

So your actually going to install it? If it was free, put it on craigslist and wait for some teenager to come along and give you $40 for it. You dont want that ricer junk on your car. Changing when vtec crosses on a stock single cam isnt gonna make the car any faster or cooler. Complete waste of time.

 

Actually now that I think of it. There is a rate Dohc d series motor. Whether it swaps to a y8 idk. I think a zc?

 

So then can you put a b series head on 1.5 non vtec motor becuase someone was telling you can but i find hard to believe

 

No a b series head will not go on a d series block. There is a dc d series that is Dohc. But it is NOT a b series. In no way shape or form will a b series head for d series block and vise versa.

 

I had to quote it to reiterate the point. Moreover, if you were to put a B series head a D series block next to one another you'd soon notice that nothing even remotely lines up. For starters, the 81mm bore vs 75mm.

A cheap alternative to a D series is an LS swap...For a few hundred bucks and a weekend's worth of effort, you could have your coveted dual cam setup. A few hundred more $$ for a VTEC head and away you go

 

I'm happy weith my SOHC. I'm gonna build it up till i can't build it anymore and then boost it..lol

 

Stealing my sig!?!?!?!?!?!?!?? jk

 

The only ZC dohc motor came on 86-89 integras. some oil port holes will not match it and thus cannot be used on a sohc motor. Why not just buy it instead complete for like 400 and swap? its came with 130hp.
