Ok... tonight I drove out to pic up a used tranny from this guy for a upcoming swap. Well I get to the gas station where I'm spose to meet him an hour late. I pull up and see a pretty clean rex (can't go into specifics... some of yall might be a lil shady) but I get out and start shooting the breeze with him. During the convo, I tell him I just put a d16z6 into a rex I just got. He goes "do you like it". I go yeah it's pretty quick. He goes... "Yeah... I got a D16 in here too............ with a b16 head". So I instantly think this guy is an idiot and doesn't know sh*t about hondas. EVERYONE KNOOOOOWS that you can't put a B series head on a D series block . So after asking him what he had 4 more times, he goes, dude, just pop the hood. While he puts the tranny in my trunk, I reach in and pop the hood. I walk over look inside... typical B16... Big deal. Using the cell phone as my light, I look at the code on the block.... ?16?? it's dirty. I wipe it off and low and be f*n hold the bitch said D16Y8. HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN ANY **** LIKE THIS??? I looked at the tranny mounts -- STOCK. If anyone has a pic of anything like this, POST IT. I'm not talkn bout photoshops either. This was the real deal. I'm suppose to be meeting back up with him tomorrow to get an axle, so hopefully he'll let me take a pic... I just thought that was really wild. I've seen everything from rice to nice, tricks of the trades and everything in between, but this takes the cake. So, before you self proclaimed Honda experts go flaming the next newbie that ask if he could put a b16 head on his dx civic, think twice before giving him the shaft. It is possible. BTW, the guy said he machined through 3 blocks before he got it right. As soon as i get these pics, I'll post them.

 

Hmm thats funny, cause my cousin said he wanted to do that as well..put a Si head on a SOHC D series....hmm I think that kat needs jesus but thats just my opinion.

 

WOW if he got a B16 head Y8 then he's a idiot. Seriosly think about it for a second. I bet he paid a ton of cash to get the the block to match that head. Now being that he's gone through 3 blocks with machine work he's probably already over the cost of a regular B16 swap. I would like to see pics though

 

it took him 3 tries to machine the block stamp to say D16Y8, his engraving skills must really suck

I agree..hey man that kat lied to u about havin a b16 **** under his hood, well hell if he a b16 head on his D series then I have a K20 head on my D series too...anyways he might have gotten a swap and told u he got that crap

 

I'm banking that he did it for pure shock value and not performance. He does swaps just like me and he told me he had an H22 in it before (and from what he was telling me and the stuff he had I'm pretty sure he did). From the stuff that he had, I think if he wanted performance he would have done something else. I could go through 3 blocks and it would only cost me machining labor. I get sohcs free all the time from doing swaps and I'm sure he does too. Now if he was shooting off B18c blocks, I'd start to wonder, but sohc's are damn near free (I just had 3 sitting in my garage last week - d16z6, d16y8 & d16a6)

Than you must have a k20 on your hands. You see, I've been doing swaps since before most of you fast and the furious kats been around, so I'm not easily duped. The boy had stock trany mounts - no b-series mount kit. You know, now that I think of it, bissimoto runs a d-series tranny on his F-series Sohc, so, I guess it's not too uncommon. I don't think I will prove or defend anymore till i get pics...

 

have to see it to believe it.....what kind of timming belt?thats LOTS of machining to do(makes it pointless...).

 

Isn't the bore spacing way different between the head and block?

 

I don't believe it. Sorry. Thanks for coming out, though.

 

pics buddy... pics. come on, we're all honda tuners, and you're going to expect us to believe something like that without pics. i got to see pics first, and then we'll go from there, but sorry man... i don't know if i believe that.

 

This thread is worthless w/o pics... I'd like to see a b16 head on a d- series block.

 

maybe you misread. those block stamps get so dirty that it was probably hard to tell, and its easy to mix up B and D, but Y8 i dont get.

I was bullshittin I dont have a k series I could barely afford my B18 I was saying that cause I was bein a smart ***...besides like most of these kats say its bullshit, and how in the hell did he fit a H22 in that bitch? wouldnt he have to do work on the chasey to get them axles to work right?

 

i want to see the fake pics...lol

 

In some states (like this ridiculous smog **** bitch *** state), something like this might actually be worth it. I just paid $100 for my dyno smog...what's next? It's only gonna get worse.

It's probably just as worthless even with pics lol

 

Ha... got the pics, but sorry, can't post them... He asked me not to...

 

Well... at any rate, it sounds like an interesting art project.

 

My grandmother looks like Jonny Knoxville, but she told me not to post those pics on the internet either....
