Probably would make about 120hp. I'd say mid-to-high 15s.

120 hp? i thought a stock d16 has 108?? you can gain 10+ hp just from using a d15 block?

He said VTEC in the thread title, and SOHC VTECs usually make about 130 but with less displacement you will probably only make 120.

I just recently got rid of my "mini-me" set up........i was running d15b2 block with d16z6 sohc vtec head......I used gtec pro and I got 120-130-145-125 hp readings on it......I'm guessing it was 120.........but its ghetto as hell.......just me knowing it was setup like that under my hood irritated me....it runs the motor about 11.1 c/r and on dx rods thats not good.......just isn't worth it.....I was excited when I first did it then I became to hate it....I got a d16z6 with 34,000 miles on it.......full intake manifold and exhaust manifold ..........complete 5g si engine wiring harness from strut tower to strut tower with it and a 1yr warranty for 475bux...........just do it right in my opinion.......but............thats my opinion

I'm with you on swapping the whole motor rather than just the head. To me it's not worth the cost of gaskets to put the D16z6 head or the D16y8 on a D15.
