hello everybody.

i have a D14A4 engine (16v) . and i wanted to know what do i need to check to see if i can use a vtec head on it ?


thanks...

 

Honda makes a D14A4? Interesting...

 

Wait, isn't this the engine they made over in the Middle East? First of all, will a VTEC head even bolt-on to the block?

 

wont fit it is a different block they have these in china too, its like a 43 hp engine. the head is literally the size of a shoe box

are you sure about that cause i just did 3 secs of searching and the motor looks like any other d sereis..of for any of the *** hats that try to say something hers a link with PICS!!! http://www.hondaswap.com/forum...52613

as far as puttting a vtec head on it, i would have to go with yes on this.. BUT i strongly belive that it would be a waste of time, money, and effort...

 

oh wait here is another one... http://www.k20a.org/images/D14A4/

 

yeah i know nick.... he's from croatia....(nice guy, helped me alot)


i also turbo'd the d14... but the turbo took a **** on me.... and blowed the seals. i sent it to the US for a rebuild but your customs compound it from some reason....


now i ordered a T3 from a volvo and im still waiting for it.


so how can i check if the head will fit?

 

I am pretty sure the head will fit. Looking at it should tell you. i mean the only difference in the two motors is that one is a 1.6, and the other is a 1.4. so its all internal block stuff, not head.. But like i mentioned its probably not worth it.. Try to find a complete 1.6 vtec swap.. or You may even think about going b series.. (I cant belivie i just said that..)

 

ship me a head gasket from a d14, fold it up or whatever ill compare it to a y8 one i have
also get a head stud and measure the depth of the threads from the shoulder of the bolt
and you need to see if you have a oil restricter in the block and see if you can remove it
LMK

 

ill also need to know how deep the valve reliefs are

btw its called a mini me
