I am planning a budget build and ran across this y8 head and intake . Would this be a good combo for mpg and fun ? I was going to mill stock head and ad cam.

 

i had this same motor. b7 block and y8 head. made mad power over a stock b7.
had vtec at 4500. make sure the bottom end is in good shape though. yeilds good compression. use the honda compression calculator

 

do you know what your gas millage was?

 

Use the same injectors and still a 1.5 liter, so if you don't get on the peddle (stay out of vtec) your mpg should be similiar. You are using a 1.6 ecu map sorta, if you get it tuned.... should maintain mpg when driven casual.
