as stated above no!

the reason the d series are all SOHC and a b16 head is DOHC so there are big fitment issues

depending on what year it is, a zc head will swap on pretty easily. if you are looking to do a mini me swap thats what i would do. good power gain with having to buy minimal parts. like i said though, depends on what d series motor you have and what year it is.

i have 94 eg hatch with a d15 auto. im tired of my slow *** car.i have plans to build up the motor and then put a turbo on, but thats much later in the future. so what is cheapest way to get some decent power out of for now? as far as im concerned i/h/e doesnt really do **** power wise. i have a intake and all it does is consume more fuel and make more noise.i also had a muffler but i took it off because the vibrations started getting annoying
