hey there, im new to the forum and would much appreciate some help

im from New Zealand so dnt hold tht against me and all my parts are JDM

i currently have a D15b vtec in my car but too much boost saw this motor give up.

ive found a new motor that is a D16y i belive (1600 non vtec out of civic EG)

what i want to know is can i bolt my vtec head to this block and still be alright for a turbo set up, ie will this increase comp. ratio or decrease it? will the head bolts etc me the same and where do i tap an oil feed for the vtec solinoid from?

ill have a better idea of what happens when i pull the engines apart but wouldnt mind some one elses previous knowlege to aid me.

any help woud be apreciated, i tried searching but cant find anything that makes too much sence

thanks

the "y series" motors have oil problems.. i'd pass and get a d15b bottom end or a d16z6 bottom end. (or even a sohc ZC)

edit: its actually a D16A7 bottom end i have been told froma an EG1600 non vtec

do these still have oil probs?

how do i get an oil feed to the vtec solinoid?

thanks

that block would be perfect for you. get it.
there is an oil jet between # 2 and 3 cylinder on the firewall side. take it out to allow oil to the vtec solenoid.
