B16A head on D15B block

[shrm1]

Salam to all.
I just recently solved the problem with my D-15B, which has a non-vtec head.

I just want to know if it is possible to use a DOHC B-16a head with D-15B block. I am not sure if we can interchange parts if series is different D Vs. B.
Please help. Else help suggest upgrades like Cams, Pistons and Ecu on D-15B with v-tec head to crank out Optimum horses.

How much would it be for the above inclusive of labor, gaskets, etc.

Thanks so much!

Here's the pic of this B-16 head that im thiking of picking up, if you guys can confirm that this swap can work.
Let me know guys.

Not possible

[shrm1]

Ok so how much would it run to upgrade the pistons, cams etc. And what ecu can i use to crank it upto max power.

no way

if u try to built up a d15/d16,it will cost you alot and at the end of the day a good b16 would still ..... hope u got wat i mean :D,
therefore i would suggest you to buy a complete b16 which will cost 60-65k ,always better,reliable and faster than any D series

@carcrazy: bilal tumare B16 kahan gaye jo D16 se haarte thi

[salik990]

@shrm1: wsalam.....before u were doin D15/d16....now B16a/d15b n tht cant happen....any wat carcrazy said tht will be much easier n better way rather than this B16/D15b

[bilal_khan]

its just for fun bro not for racing

Better to put D15 or d16 Vtec head

[lowresolution]

All that i know is Honda D Series is built for economy , its true that people get out some nice power figures with the D series but ofcourse it costs alot and u`ll have to force induct it get that power ...

Swap in a B, H or perhaps a K series , and ull get plenty of n/a power along with some handy dandy torque ( which the D series lacks)plus ull get the cool vtec enageging feel!! which ofcourse is not felt with any D series motor !!

@all: If i get a vtec head, i believe it will make a difference.

Furthermore, i am very inclined to get a B16, but there are none available in shersha market, with a manual tranny.

So i am confused whether if i get a vtec head for now, and keep searching for a good b16a manual tranny....anyone can help find it.

@carcrazy: 60-65k is just for the b16 or with all the wiring and swap...if not then what would be complete swap price?

@shrm1. its not possible with a B series dohc head...but yea u can do it with a D series dohc head...aka the dohc ZC motor. thats the only dohc head that comes in the D series and is interchangable within the D's. the bad part about it is that its non-vtec...but still it pulls out 140horses.
thats just some info..

now uve got 2 options.
1. get high compression pistons from another D.
these are the ones that u could get:
*PM7 is the piston code and again they come from the JDM ZC motor. and then do some other n/a mods.
and then maybe add nitrous.
this would be faster then a n/a B. and will cost less as well.
btw what ecu are u running?

1. get a b16 or h22... but to be honest there arent any complete b16s left in khi...so either ull have to look for someone whos is running one and is about to take it out...or wait till shershah gets some in the scrap (which i dont think will happen real soon)

[shrm1]

@moak 89:

1. Can you please advise where i can get the pistons from. Also, what would be the cost of this swap? Im running a stock ECU probably P08. I believe that is the one that came in stock, with the orinigal D16 engine.

2. How much would it be to install a D-series non-vtec dohc head.

3. B16a:if you come across anyone who is pulling out the b16 with a manual tranny, please please let me know. I dont want a lemon though!

Thanks.

[moak89]

1. about 3k for a used set from shershah. or about 7-8k for a new set from plaza.

2. head would cost around 5-7k from shershah. then the rest would be labour and stuff.

3. sure ill let u know.

[shrm1]

@moak89: Would you be available for some guidance over the phone. I need a few mins to get the exact details so i can just go to shersha and pick up the pistons from whoever you recomend, and handover the cash.

And also wanted to know the same for the head.
Can you give me your cellphone number and what would be a good time to call?

[levin]

i found out from 4A toyota engines, head swaping will create problems in water and oil passage and power of oilpumps etc is designed accordingly so

i don't recomend head swap.

[moak89]

sure bro. call me anytime after 3pm @ 0333 3196101 my name is asad.
or u can call my mech/advisor at 0321 2433269 and his name is Tariq...just tell him that i gave u his number. and tell him u want to high comp your d15.

if u get time during the evening/night then u can come visit our workshop in gulshan. and we could talk face to face over there..
see ya

@shrm1
its better to get an engine ..this swap will be a headache as i did the same thing in Suzuki engines G16 block and G13 Dohc head to make a G16 dohc but believe me its cost me alot and don't give such power wht i aspect it to be
