what motor is swapped in? If its a 1.6 SOHC then no a VTEC DOHC head will not fit. A VTEC SOHC head will (mini-me)

vetch-a-sketch...

Seriously though, a D16A6 bottom end and a Y8/Z6 head and intake will give you about 115-120 whp (130 stock crank hp). give or take.

The Y8 has 128hp at the crank, not at the wheels.
