Can you put a vtec head on a non vtec motor?
The non vtec engine should be a d17a1. The vtec engine will be a d17a2. The lower end, the block, is the same and will bolt up to your transmission. However the head, ECU, and exhaust system are different.
Can you swap a vtec head on a non vtec block?
For the late bloomers and uninitiated, these cylinder head swaps traditionally involve taking a VTEC cylinder head and transplanting it onto one of Honda’s anemic non-VTEC blocks. The labor, however, involves rerouting oil pressure to the head and enlarging two dowel holes on the head.
Can you put a vtec head on a D15B7?
yep any D-series head, intake mani, exhaust mani can be swaped from engine to engine, some head swaps take more work than others, non vtec’ed engines need the oil control jet removed from the block, and need the vtec wiring, timing belt, etc. etc. etc. yes you can install a 88-91 CRX Si head on your D15B7.
Can a Honda engine be swapped for a VTEC?
The larger displacement makes the magical 200 wheel horsepower number a bit easier to reach if you are intent on staying with a B series. VTEC – It’s not VTEC from the factory, so unless you are willing to build an LS/VTEC, this won’t be available to you.
Can a Honda Civic 150i be a VTEC?
Ok so my ’97 Civic 150i is running a little to slow for my liking. I want it to be able to hang with a 2.0. The first thing that comes to mind is swapping the motor out to make it the same as a VTEC under the hood. What I want to know is, do I need to get the entire engine, motor. . . I’m really clueless?
Do you need dual cams to run VTEC?
You do not need a dual cam setup to run vtec. I believe your civic has a stock d series engine which is a single cam most, likely a d16 (if you have a d15 it is more complicated). The difference is with SOHC there is a common camshaft for both intake and exhaust valves. where as with DOHC there are separate cams.
What’s the difference between SOHC and VTEC in Honda Civic?
The difference is with SOHC there is a common camshaft for both intake and exhaust valves. where as with DOHC there are separate cams. VTEC is a variable valve timing system which is engaged at higher RMPs so you get better performance when you need it and don’t burn extra gas and risk wear on your engine riding around at lower RPMs.
