- Sun Feb 01, 2009 6:22 am #93596 I have a D15B7 engine and I'm going to be doing a "mini me" swap with a D16Z6 head.

D16Z6 head, intake manifold, throttle body, fuel rail, injectors, plugs, wires, distributor, valve cover, internal valve train, original cam gear plus an OBX adjustable cam gear.

I can just swap out all the previous parts with the new parts but is there anything else I would need to do. Vtec or anything like that? I know there is a write up on this but I just have acouple questions to ask.

- Sun Feb 01, 2009 8:14 pm #93656 read the write up, use it as a guide as you do this, it will make things 1343769653 times more easy. you will have to run wiring for vtec, also remove the oil dowl thingy as hondajunkee said. choose a head gasket, d16y8 will give you a slightly higher compression ratio over the d16z6. and there will come a point when you will have one extra water line, so you have to Tee into another one to connect it.

It's all in the write up good luck
