I don't drive a honda. I haven't registered it or anything. 😛 So there.

I think I have some stuck rings, my oil is as black as the ace of spades.

JK have fun with your Honda. Just trying to be a smart ass. Oh, yeah, I did have pretty much the fastest street car around, minus Dave. I will have a quick car again soon. Watch out, it might have a famed d18ycj4ttyjp9er in it!! :rolleyes:

Whats with the jackass comment man? Is it honestly needed? The kid is just asking if he can swap a better head onto his block to get a little more power. Why are you calling people ricers for wanting more power?

Its a damn engine code-im sure you know that, but whatever

Yeah, I was there to see your 10.80 run. Don't worry we know how fast you are. All of us Honda guys just get tired of getting shit on every time we make a thread.

He will not "Need" a new tranny, but a ex/si tranny would be shorter.

All D-series IM are interchangeable. I'm with Nick on this one get the y8 it will flow to the head better then your y7 would.

If you put that intake setup on that head you might as well just not even bother swapping anything. Just order a full Y8 or Z6, their so damn cheap anyways.

maybe i am thinking of the d16y7? my g/f has a d16z6 and supposedly the d16yx has a better intake manifold? correct me if i'm wrong. its been awhile, i gave up on her d16 and am just aiming for a swap.

HONDA'S SLOW LOLLOLLLLOOLOOOLLO NOT A DSM LOLOLOLO, OWN3D!!!!!

Anyway if he has a 96-00 civic the LX,DX,CX all came with d16y7's. ( 6th Gen. )
Now if we are talking 5th gen then it would be a d15y7 that came in the VX,DX,LX,CX but then he would want to swap a d16z6 head on to his block so we can assume he is talking about a 6th gen civic.

The HX model also comes with a SOHC VTEC engine. ( d16y5 )
