Can a b18c7 head be put on a b18c2 ???

Just asking everyone if CAN A B18C7 HEAD BE PUT ON A B18C2. I need some infomation before i can handle this task.

thanks guys

Yes you can. You need to plug up the vacuum line that controls the dual runner butterfly's in the manifold. Cause that is an electronically controlled vacuum line.

Highly recommend a piggyback or a type r ecu with a vafc tuned.
Only because the compression ratio is different. also the design of the manifold. So utilizing the vtir ecu will work. But might throw codes here and there, as vtec is set at 4500 and dual butterflys at 6000 (5800 to be exact).
Also the vtec lobe is more aggressive, so you run the risk of running lean under WOT.

Besides that, its pretty much bolt on. Its the same motor setup and everything. Its just the little bits and pieces. Make it all easier and get an aftermarket ecu, whether it be piggyback or standalone. And if youre going piggyback, i recommend you use a type R ecu. Cause the base map is pretty much spot on for that head already. Most probably youll have to knock off or add a few numbers as the type R's head will flow alot better.

IMO though, if you have a stock motor use your vtir head and build it. Vtir heads have a touch more torque at the bottom end solely due to the dual runners.
Its when you start going high comp you should look at the type R's head, thats where it really shines.

Wow You know your stuff , Cheers man for da info. It really helped.

Im in a situation where i cracked my b18c2 head so just thinkning about a type r head, I have a skunk intake manifold and a mugen equipped aftermarket ecu That i have not yet installed.

How i cracked my head its those 4 outer bolt that secure the rocket cover and i tightened i bolt abit too much then Bangg.
And yer now the rocket cover is held on by 3 bolts.

What would you do in my situation??

The car still runs fine Doesnt leak due to replacing the rocket cover gasket.
Just checking if its worth it spending $500 on a new head.

Cheers brother

you cracked the head or the rocker cover?

i dont think you would have cracked the head from tightening it too much

sounds like you just need a new rocker cover lol

lmaoooooo. sorry mate, had to , but no you did not crack the head that is just the rocker/valve cover just replace that, and you should be fine.
Unless you can install the head yourself be prepared on paying big $$ on labour to install the head aswell.
You will also need new accelleration cable, Need the Intake manifold that comes with it (cant use B18C2),

Lolll i swear i cracked the head 100% my brother checked it out, hes a car spray painter for over a decade and basic mechanic fellar.

Just asking, Rocket covers fine lol just asking anyone who has ever changed there b18c2 head before.

If its easy??

lol rocket cover ... u going to the moon?

the head is pretty solid metal man ... u cant break it from doing up a bolt too tight

i say post a pic so we can see

OOhhhhh i see why you guys think i cracked the rocket cover. Because those usually there 4 long threads that are there to secure the rocket cover in place by tightening the 4 bolts. But my one has 3 long threads so i can spin the bolts on and the 4 hole previous owner FFfed up so i think he drilled a hole and used a 12mm Bolt to secure it pretty bodgy.

Show you guys a picture tomorow lol sorry for misunderstanding you guys now i can see why you guys were laughing at me hahah

do you mean the cap cap? or plate? cause you can change that over

im still loling at rockets =/

Just had a look at it and i gotta say i was wrong i dont think i actually did crack da head but i found out i did crack something. i show you with some pictures.

What should i do??
