B series head - D series engine

[aimre]

Hello all,

Just wondering if n e one knows if these rumours are true:
Can a DOHC vtec head be fitted to a SOHC vtec engine

thanx alot

[Civic Type R]

NO.
end of story :)

[aimre]

NO.
end of story :)
REALLY??? AWw.... :(:(

Ok then, as for getting a b16 in my car (eg vti sedan)
what would i need, whole front cut, or just engine??

also, what could i do with my engine??? (its only got 69, xxx Ks)

[VTEC16]

the rumor that you heard was probably a D-series DOHC non-VTEC block with a D-series SOHC VTEC (your engine) head.

B and D series engine parts are not interchangeable.

you'll need the front cut - including brakes.

Again this question seems to be regurgitated over and over again.
Please run a search on this. Thats the best advice i can give :)

Guys I reopen the thread for the above question only. Please don't comment on the B series head on a D series block question. It already has been answered and I can expect a few smart arse comments. So please don't and lets help him out on his question.

which engine is it??? you could do the D16a8 (non-vtec) DOHC conv. This is a hard engine or go the whole B16a (vtec) swap! and it depends on $$$$$ you have to spend

[Limbo]

Yeah i'd say it would be cheaper and easier to do the whole swap. Your messing with too many variables just trying to change the head.


Even if you could do it (which might be possible if you had enough money) the cost would outweight the benefits and performance

[Mr. Focus]

you cant change a DOHC with a SOHC

see...totally different!

[Mr. Focus]

the top pic is of the D16a8 DOHC non-vtec. this would be my choice! alot cheaper and just as fun as a B16a

[Chi]

D16a is boring!!!

ITs good, but b16a is much more fun to drive.

[z3lda]

b16a's shit. its too over rated

I dun think so. D16 and B16 are totally different. just like driving a different car.

[ATSEK4]

b16a's shit. its too over rated

then you tell me what is better than B16a for 1600cc engine?
dun tell me B16B as it is the best.

[aimre]

The reason i ask is that i wanted to turbo BUT with these laws being implemented.... thats becoming out of the question untill i find out what age ppl are allowed turbo.

ALSO, Why would i need a half cut? I got discs all round alrewady, does an xtra 20kw merit new brakes? Does everything mate with the b16 ie aircon g-box

Where is cheapest place to get one???
Also where can i sell my engine and how much would it be worth (69,000 ks)

[Mr. Focus]

hmmm. after racing my mate with his b16a powered delslo, i wouldnt waste my $$$$. i hammered him!

anyways. not sure if you'd need a half cut, but you will need the g/box, computer, new engine mounts (possibly other gear too) and you'll be looking at around 4-8k to get it put in

[aimre]

well considering a turbo kit is bout that much... even less mayb... would that be a better option? better bang for buck?

[Mr. Focus]

PM egsi, he'll be selling kits in the new year.

if not, you'll just keep getting the d vs. b arguement.

what engine do you have BTW?

[aimre]

d16 SOHV vtec

[Setanta]

B16As are way over-rated - B18C from VTiR or DC2-R at least - or start looking at the K series for a real weapon.

[z3lda]

turbo ur ride. u'll be faster then most cars on this forum =]

[wynode]

Your turbo D-series will be a lot quicker than if you did a b16 swap into your civic (especially with those low k's)

[karbonphyber]

guys.... i wanna color my engineeeee! who can i turn to!? wynodeeee heh
