d16y7 head swap ?
i have a 98 dx civic with a d16y7 i heard you can do a b16 head swap to make it vtex? is this ture and if so what would i need... i am a newbi so sorry
|
that vtec sorry
|
What you're thinking about is called a vtec head conversion (mini-me for sohc's). You will need the vtec head, perhaps intake manifold from donor depending on the car, and new head gasket. This should help you out: http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=735196

its a 98 civic dx d16y7 its all stock but header exhaust cold air so would i need a manifold but what about the ecu ? would my computer no that there a vtec head on it? or what would i have to do about that?
|
that fourms seems to help me out i didnt read but thanks
|
i read on there that ecu would be change so would i just put a d16y8 ecu into it and it Should work ..should is the key word lol
|
just putting a d16y8 ecu in the car wont make your car vtec. will just throw a CEL. you have to swap out the head with a d16y8 head. and wire up vtec
|
^correct, the vtec solenoid isn't prewired in the nonvtec motor's wiring harness. You'll be wiring in vtec among a couple other things depending on the head used
