Rep Power: 230 Quick question
I am very hesitant to ask this question for the fact that it is possible a newb question which yes I am a newb to the honda scence but not the tunning scene. My true loves are watercooled vws and bmws which is where this question comes from.
Question:
Is it possible to put JUST the head of a B16, B18, or k serries head on a D17?
You guys may think that is laughable but like I said I come form the euro scene where you can swap heads with no problem. examples, an 93-99 ABA (2.0 cross flow 8v motor) can have the head swapped out for a OLDER 9a 16v head. The 9a comes from 85-92 GTI's, GLI's, Passats, and Sirroccos. Also the 1.8t 20v head can also be put on a ABA.
so to me a head swap no matter what year makes sense as long as you have 8v, motronic igniton, and a cross flow motor anything is possible.
thanks in advance
flame suit is on just in case

Yeah, unfortunately that isnt possible with Hondas.
Funny though, I am trying to get in to the Dub Scene and you are getting into Hondas. If you are in the area, my friends and I from a few different forums in the area are putting together a huge VAG GTG this summer.

For the most part, the parts swap within engine series, not across them. The D17 is the true bastard child and you gotta have D17 parts. For 90+% of it, not even other D-series parts will work.
Search around, Hondas work totally different. I'm doing the opposite and trying to figure out VAG FSI right now, its equally a pain in the *** to me, everything is *** backwards.
