Can you make a non VTEC head VTEC?
You will need to completely disassemble the valvetrain assembly for both heads. Reassemble just like the Y7 valvetrain using the VTEC cam holders. The cam and valvetrain assembly will fit right in the head. Leave a broken VTEC solenoid on the head, or fabricate a block off plate if you are crafty.
Can VTEC be SOHC?
SOHC VTEC. Honda also applied the system to SOHC (single overhead camshaft) engines such as the D-Series and J-Series Engines, which share a common camshaft for both intake and exhaust valves. The trade-off was that Honda’s SOHC engines benefited from the VTEC mechanism only on the intake valves.
Is D16y7 distributor same as d16y8?
RE: D16y7 distributer on d16y8 there is not diference… you can use your distribuitor since you are using your same harnes..
Can I put a y8 head on a y7 block?
Putting a y8 head on your y7 is the same thing as you have it now. You can put it on and still have your automatic y8 intake manifold you have on. Can will run the same. And you can’t run the y8 fuel injectors on your stock p2e ecu.
Can you put vtec on any engine?
Can You Put Vtec On Any Engine? The car will run just fine, but if you want it to work with vtec, you will need to wire it up directly to the ecu (plug underneath the battery box, almost directly at the ecu) or through the shock towers to make it appear OEM.
Can you turn a SOHC into an DOHC?
Can You Convert Sohc To Dohc? It is impossible to convert a SOHC into a DOHC, either buy a new head, ecu, and selenoid from Vtec, or just buy a new motor from Vtec. You can get a big gain by swapping motors if you need it. If you want to get something like 20ish HP, you should get the Vtec head.
Can I change from SOHC to DOHC?
You can run a DOHC VTEC motor with a SOHC VTEC ECU. You’ll just be stuck with the lower rev limiter. And the fuel maps won’t be perfect but the ECU will compensate (that’s what your primary O2 sensor is for!) You have to swap axles because you are swapping transmissions.
Which is better VTEC or IDSI?
Both systems employ ingenious ways to basically squeeze the performance out of relatively small engines all across the RPM range. While VTEC is associated more with high-performance vehicles, i-DSI is more linked to compact cars that still need to have some power under the hood.
Is a D16Y7 a VTEC engine?
The D16Y7 is not very popular among tuners because it has a single overhead cam and is not equipped with VTEC technology.
Is a y8 VTEC?
well here ya go: the y8 has vtec but it is wildly overrated on the sohc platforms. it was mostly designed to improve fuel economy and still have punch in the higher RPMs above crossover.
