Default D15B8, whats heads are good.

I have a D15B8 in my 93 Honda Civic HB. I wanted to know what other heads bolt right on too this engine. Without having to rebuild half of the car (i.e. computer changes or replacing half of the sensors). I already have a T25 turbo that I am going to bolt on too this engine. Just wanted to find out if there is a better head instead of the 8 valve one that is on there. So the question is what head will work best for this?

Don't have a good answer for you, just a point-
If you are going to swap a different head onto it, you would also have to replace the pistons, as the stock B8 pistons are only notched for 8 valves. You might be better off just picking up a D15B7 or D16Z6 and swapping the whole thing.

Well the thing is I am going to swap the whole engine. I am getting a H22. But for now I have to put my engine back in the car to pass emissions. I figured since it was going to be in the car I would drop the T25 turbo on it and have a little fun. It is no big deal I was trying to find out if there was a bolt on head to drop on since i have to replace valves on my head now. If anyone has any ideas that cool. If not I guess I will buy the valves and put the head back together. Check out my site to see the car Project Honda, http://physicalnature.tripod.com
