Can you build a D16Y8 and be happy with it. Or does everybody pull those engines out and put in an ls or gsr or etc...... I have a civic and I'm curious if you can build a D16Y8 at all and be happy with it ?

A ZC head will not bold onto a D16Y8; then again, why would you want to? Why go from an OBD2 VTEC head on an engine making around 130 hp to a OBD0 non VTEC head on an engine making around 130 hp? There's no need to!
If you're planning to go turbo, don't buy an intake and a headeR (not headerS). You'll just have to sell them for 1/2 price or chuck them anyways. Just be patient and save for your turbo.
Do you even know what a chipped ECU does? Why would you buy a preprogrammed ECU chip that is tuned to a full race built engine, when you only have like 3 mods? You will have shitty gas mileage and a little more power when at WOT. That's it.
