Civic EG

i was wondering if you could fit the heads off of a 1.6 dohc vtec on a 1.6 sohc vtec just the heads and would it bolt right up would i have to change fuel pistons anything i mean has anyone done it

and better yet will the dohc bolt right where the old sohc head was or what would be nice to no before switching

nope.



this only works with the single cam "F" series blocks and the "H" series DOHC head. known as the "G" motor.

what would be the reason for this not being able to work

D's are different than B's
it wont line up
no timing belt will work
no head gasket will work

need more?

no need i figured but i had to make certain of it before i bought the dohc engine some recomended me in buying just the heads and i didint think it would work but thanks for the info

what model you got? hatch,coupe, sedan?

what dual cam you lookin into?

lets see some pictures!

welcome though. this sites the ish

i got a 94 ex black and i didint wunt to do much with the sohc so i was looking to swap to a dohc aint got any pictures on yet ill be sure to post them up soon tho

and my bad coupe

and what would u suggest i put into it for the easiest change least amount of money and where about i can get a old junk engine to rebuild at

just depends on what rought you wanna go.. no swap is gonna be "cheap" you can go egay(ebay) for mounts and everything you need and it will be cheaper, but if you want something "quick" and easy i would suggest finding a obd1 gsr b18c1 or even a b18b/a. if you go ls you can boost and have a mid 13-low 12 second car, you can peice together a turbo kit for under 750 with a tune..

there is also the rought of doing a b16a2 out of the "ek"(em1) usdm si but there gonna be a little more work, having to convert from obd2 to obd1.(with your plugs) there are jumper harness fror the ecu that are around 200 buck (correct me if im wrong)


but like i said its all up to what you wanna do. and how you want ur car... remember the famous slogan.... honda "the power of dreams"

boosting a LS and getting it tuned will cost MORE than $750 99% of the time.

If you want a cheap DOHC swap, a B18b will be just that. Most of time it will be cheaper then a B16, Has much more torque then the b16 and tons of upgrade potenial.

If you get a B18b and a b16 or b18c transmission. You will beat stock and lightly modded b16's The B18b's turbo qutie well making them a good option.
