d16 to si switch...
whats up guys i have a 2000 honda civic ex 2dr coupe with d16 engine. Im starting auto school in fall so im no genius but i know a thing or two here and there. My friend told me to do a frankenstein switch and put a Si head on my motor. Can someone give me a list of things ill need . Will i need to put in a new computer or can i adjust my current one to the new head, does the timing belt have to come off to get the new head on? what else will i need to do this the right way and not F up my engine. thanks guys sorry im no pro but im learning more, the help is much appreciated.

#1 - don't listen to your friend again
#2 - wait until you take that auto class, that way you might be a little more educated and prepared for this task.
-it's called a "mini-me" swap considering you have a sohc, a "frankenstein" is the same process for dohcs
-you will need many parts including the head and edu and wiring, along with other things and the list goes on.
-you can't fit a b series head (si) on a d series motor.
-timing belt will have to be replaced
-if i were you in your shoes, i would hold off and wait till you know a little more and research this.
-you'll see a performance gain of about 15-20 hp depending on the supporting mods and condition of the motor.
this has been covered a million times. just google it, you'll learn a lot.
