Can you use a d15 belt with the d16 head or do you have to get a d16 belt ? Also do you have have to use ARP head studs or can you just use back the D16 head studs in the d15 block

How did it run did it feal better then stock? I know you where going from non vtec. I'm doing similar build but y7 block, y5 head, pm6 pistons, 2 layer y8 head gasket, .010 shaved head. I'm looking at around 10.8:1 This is going in a EK hatch as my new daily. Alots getting swaped from my HX coupe. I'm going for better mpgs sense I drive alot for work. It's getting pared onto a vx/cx trans, so Im not sure if I'll really feel the difference because the gears are so damn tall. That's why I was wondering if you felt any difference in torque. I'm expirementing with a couple things 8 pound fly wheel lmao I might hate it. Light weight crank pulley.Crank walk lol Adjustable cam gear, I'm hoping to advance it a little and bring the power band down a little to make more torque down low for the highway cruising. Hatch is cut up a little Stripped but still looks relatively stock. I was going to put a turbod motor in it, but I bought a EG

What d16y8 head you use to swap

[@ZT_Performance]

Very cool man What compression did you calculate for that motor ? Getting better mpgs? Lol

[@Dannoadams]

I calculated just under 10:1. Not better mpg lol because VTEC 😅

[@samuelmcneely6184]

Great video! What power goals you have and what type of clutch?

[@Dannoadams]

Not trying to get crazy. Stock head and ecu, just want more fun on the daily. I did a stage 2 exedy clutch from eBay.
