Hi guys,
I have a 1995 CX. I am very close to buying a head off a 99 DX to do a Mini-Me swap this summer. What I need to know is what exactly is the model of this head? D16y7 or y8? Also is my car a 8v or 16v? I have heard only the 92 and 93 are 8v but im not sure.
thanks for the help.

your looking for the y8 head i believe, and im pretty sure all 92-95 CX's have 8 valve heads ( )

 

yeah they all have 8 valve heads i believe, but not all only have 8 valve reliefs on the pistons some have 16

you want the y8 head

 

is there any way to know what pistons I have without taking the head off??

im pretty sure there is no other way to tell

 

ok thanks for the help

 

anyone else got any more info? please!

 

DX is not a vtec head, you need EX 95-00 head (not recomended) or EX/SI head of 92-95 (recomeded).

 

you're going to want the D16Z6 head (92-95 EX/Si), or the D16Y8 head (96-00 EX)

what he speaks is the truth...i was gonna say that but i wasnt sure

 

well why dont just do an d16z6 or y8 swap???? its more money but messing with the stupid cx motor???? ( ihave a cx too!) so i would say save the money and do complete engine swap. thats my opinion

 

dont put a 16v head on a cx motor. i think they only have valve reliefs for 8 valves on the pistons. just do a swap you will be more happier with it.
