Y8 head on Y7 block?
Will a Vtec D16Y8 head bolt right onto a D16Y7 block?, I've always wanted to go Vtec since I got the car, but I want to know if the head of a Y8 will bolt right in, and if not, what's the proper procedure to get it all together.

your current belt is actually the same size as the y8 belt, tooth count and all. i used to be on the mini me bandwagon. nice thing about it is the sohc vtec cams are cheaper than non vtec sohc cams. although i prefer now to stay non vtec.

when you say the vtec heads, are you only talking about the piston heads? What about the actual v tec system? I have a D16Y7 - what kind of power gains in hp from changing to the heads you mentioned? Where can I get those from and what parts would I need specifically....

Thanks for the link!, after reading all that I got one question though, What would be the correct timing belt to use for this mini-me, the Y8 belt?
