you most certanly can its not a overall HP gain but it will give you a notciable power ban increase its all in the way the head was made as in the Y8 tends to circulate the A/F around oposed to just dumpin it in like the stock z6 head i have been wanting to change my D16z6 head for the Y8 for some time now but I lack the funds and the time to do it.....but if you have the opertunity to I would as well as change out the rods and pistons you can use the rods out of the ZC and the pistions from a 90-91 teg for better comprestion and androds for better hp handling
I hope this helps you out a little

take the rods out of an 86-87 teg. they are pretty much identical to ZC rods and more readily available.

(the 88-on D16 rods are weaker)

they are beefier than most of the SOHC D16 rods, and will fit right in.

i dont think the 90-91 teg pistons will fit as the bore size is much larger than the D16.

the 90-91 teg have an 81mm bore and the D16s have a 75mm bore.

use the pistons out of an 88-89 integra (factory 9.5:1 compression)

the D16Z6 and D16Y8 both have a smaller combustion chamber volume than the D16A1, so 88-89 integra pistons will boost compression nicely.

Use ls rods, they are way better than zc crap, but their is some machining required to make the rods fit the crank.
