Swapping a DX head with an EX head..worth the trouble ?
Okay, so i have q uestion but i may not know how to word it so stick with me on this one.
My friend just swapped a B18 into his civic and still has his old D16y7. I have a civic dx with a stock motor and my friend has an Ex mototr. I've moddified my car a little and im aster then most stock civic ex's. my question is, we've been thinking about swapping the head of off his old motor with the head on my motor giving me the EX head on a DX block. My question is, will this give me higher compression and do anything for my hp or torgque or anything like that ? Will this improve my cars performance and make it fasteror should i just not worry about it. Im afraid im not gonna have some wires or harnessesss i might need so im hoping you guys can help me out. Any websites on this procedure or more imformation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

its not that hard
witll notice a difference
you do have to drill out an oil line or somthin in the head
not that hard
just make sure to use the right gaskets and shit
u can have a vtec line wired up and shit
zmr does a good job at that
they wired keiths hatch for vtec

IF this is a vtec head & ECU that you are getting ,then this swap is very easy ..No oil lines needed ...The cylinder head bolts on
& the ECU plugs in ........,All you have to do is run 3 wires for vtec.IF you want any help PM me.....

shouldn't he machine the head, very slightly, to make sure that is not warped. He wouldn't want to put that head on start having oil leaks allover.
