1st of al u dont have 2 use a d16z6 head you can use any single cam vtec head. i would use a 96 and up ex head d16y8 b/c the combustion chamber is square not round therefor giving u higher compression. u will need a head gasket for your year block,intake manifold from the same head you are using,a wire harness and a vtec ecu. u can try using your stock harness but your gonna have 2 rewire alot of stuff lik o2 sensors,vtec switch etc. i have done this swap with my 96 dx i put a d16y8 head on its a big difference. also b for u put the head on bring it 2 a machine shop and have them mill it. this will increase your commpresion even more.
