Hey there, i have a D16Y9. Does anyone know how or what i need to use the same block but use a VTEC head?

 

correct me if im wrong but thats the engine out of the EK DX in non-us/jap countries right? i think its the exact same engine as the D16Y7. so the process of mini me will be the same. theres a thread in here thats very good. it might be stickied. i'll find it an post a link here ofr you/

edit: ok heres a couple good ones

you could find an infinate amount of information on this. search google for 'honda mini-me'

 

Apparently it is a D16Y7. Thanks for the info nail

 

Im not sure about the availability of a SOHC VTEC or parts here in South Africa. We do have the DOHC VTECS though. Some people say the DOHC will work but some dont. I have no clue!

 

Our VTEC's are B16A's. Would this head work on my block?

 

No, head swap won't work. You'd need a full B-series engine and trans.

 

Damn that sux. Thanks

 

Can you take a pic of your engine bay for me?

 

I have a small one some where which i'll post as soon as i find it. I can take another one later. its 11:53PM in SA at the moment. Thanks
