Yes.. Very easily too.. But depends on what you wanna do The best way to go would be the b16a or a1 heads.. they seem to flow better there's been alot of power put down by gsr headers and ITR heads too but i just see everyone doing b16a heads now and days.. do your research its worth it if u have the money specially since your comparing it to doing a swap.. it all depends on how deep your pockets are.

lol, what? Your kidding right?

Lets see honda makes 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder engines with vtec (production). If you can figure out a way to make a head designed for 3 or 4 cylinders operate on a 5 cylinder block then your one step ahead of the engineers.

That is very true....


Ddogg422, do a search on vtec or simular phrases. I don't have the time to type up how vtec works it's not to complicated but i'm leaving work in about 3 min...Research it a bit so you understand more about it. It's mechanically operated and electronically and mechanically activated...
