Re:vtec head swap????? help
ok...for the valve reliefs.....i've always had a prob with the cx(92-95) cause it does only have 8 reliefs. but any of the earlier 1.5's have all 16 reliefs. you Can put the z6 head on it but you'll have valves tapping like crazy. I know that for a fact. and the y8 question.....you dont have change to obd2 if you put a y8 head on. come on guys...do your research. it just like...if i put a ctr mtor in my eg hatch....i dont have to change it to obd2...all i have to do is not use some of the plugs for the obd2 and use the only ones necessary for the swap. and to make it easier....you can use the b16...pr3 i believe....for the 88-91 sohc to vtec head swap.........its gonna use more fuel but you can adjust it later for more power....and all you do is use a knock sensor on the back and ground it........or just chip the ecu for no knock sensor like the "real" mugen programs.

Re:vtec head swap????? help
are you sur the cx only has 8 valve reliefs i mean why would honda make an othe set of pistons for 1 car its just not practical
its the only 8 valve after 92
if it did and i put the y8 head on it wouldnt the valves shatter??

if there are only 8 valves and u put a piston w/ 16v you lose compression 
thats why ...
and yes, if u have 8 valve reliefs in the pistons and u put a head on that has 16valves u will have 8 bent valves

?? Swap a new motor in it if you are going to spend money like that on it!!!! You could find a D16 for well under $1300 and work circles around your 70 hp motor. Just my two cents.__________________
