Have a d16y7 head from my old civic that some guy wants to buy off me to put his d15b block will it fit ? I don't want to sell him something wrong.


thanks

 

since the y7 head is the same casting as the y8, my guess is yes. http://www.d-series.org/forums/engin...2-y8-head.html

i guess the important question is what d15b? vtec, non, etc

 

ok read threw it my only concern now is can he use his d15b head studs ? I threw the y7 ones out

 

Probably not. I know the Y8 and the B7 have different studs at least for one corner. I was under the impression the jdm D15B is more like the B2 and B7 as far as the block is concerned.

To get ARP's for a Y8 mini me build you have to get a hybrid stud set, one stud is the Y8 stud (for the one corner) while the rest is the B7 studs.

The ARP catalog and site might provide a better insight.

 

im fairly sure the link said he used y8 bolts

 

Yah that was my feeling, I think he just needs a head in a hurry as he mentioned his hg blew not worth it from a financial perspective.

Thanks.

 

From the FAQ:

So you need B7/8 bolts with one Y7/Y8 bolt like I said.

What I'm not 100 percent sure of though is the D15B bolts, are they the same size as the B2/B7/B8 bolts?

 

it isnt the same as your standard mini me swap. the op in the link i posted used all y8 bolts.

 

Oic, totally missed that link you posted, my bad.

Yeah so it definitely looks like it depends on what D15B, what a nightmare.

 

Yeah need clarification on what D15B it is. It will bolt up but will vary on head studs, etc.
