Normal EK + Type R head = ??

hello all...
don hate me cause im dump ok...

but i own a 97 ek with a b16a (i think)

and today i say this on ebay (i know EBAY)
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....504591183&rd=1

now if you CBF looking at the link its a Civic Type R head...

what was to happen if i got this?? can i add or replace me engine head?? what will i need to do?? can it even be done?? is there a point??

why is the sky blue??

haha as you can see i know close to nuthing.... so can you please help me out thanks heaps guy...

*waits for some1 to answer =P*

i don't think your car has a b16a engine... cuz in another thread u said yours is non-vtec... which makes me believe you car is either a cxi or gli.... which means u got a d16y4 engine.... sohc non vtec.... :D

with that said... ctr head is b16b... dohc.... you can't put a dohc head into what you got now....

not 100% sure though.... u got to say what model your civic is....

B series and D series heads are not interchangeable.....so if you have got a D series than you are dump.

hey dude from the last thread u had about the intake i notice ur motor is not a b16a, urs a d serious dude =)

as the others said, it won't fit your d series (sohc). if you do have a b16a (dohc), the head should fit fine with no problems although what i noticed on the link, the b16b head does not come with the camshaft, so you might want to add an extra 600+ on top of the price you are paying for the head.

if you have a b16a, it should look somewhat like the head, only in a dark grey and not the red.


also to answer your question why the sky is blue. i have posted a link that will answer your question =)

Sorry bit OT but.....
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Firstly I wouldn't trust ebay, cant see the real condition or know the real history of that engine..

Secondly, yea, a DOHC head will never fit a SOHC head.
If you want vtec, im sure a EG vti head will fit your d16, giving you SOHC vtec

wow... ok
to set things right... what engine do i have? i have a 97 CXI EK?
d16 (sohc)?
b16 (dohc)?

what would you recommend i do if i really really really want Vtec? :D

Like wat everyone else is saying...put a sohc vtec head on ur engine or do a complete B series engine swap.

If u doing the b series swap...might as well go for b18. or b20 block from crv wif a vtec head

His car os OBDII so he needs a VTEC head from another OBDII motor.

With all that hassle just get a b16a from another EK. Whatever swap you get its gona be a lot better than any mini-me setup anyway.

D16Y4 is what you should have... Same as my EK1 1.6L SOHC - No Vtec

Vtec has been created for many applications: Power, fuel efficiency etc...

If you want power go for a transplant B16A/B, B18C from (DC2 VTi-R or even ITR) or even K20A

GPC in yennora can give you advice and quotes....

For JDM B18C or K20 be prepared to spend big bucks...

B16A is about $6500
