Head swap worth it?

[Roger Ward]

Ok as a few of you know i have a 98 dx with a hx d16y5 vtec-e. I saw some people posting saying they were going to swap a y8 head. Is it worth it? Or is there any other head swaps i can do to the y5 block thats worth the time. I was going to do a b18 swap but decided this would be a more of a stock with bolt ons build. I dont expect alot of power out of it just the good gas mileage with a little extra power no one will expect out of it. Any opinions on this?

I would leave that HX the way it is. Awesome MPG, low insurance and low maintenance. Why potential cause a headache for such a tiny improvement.

What you think max hp will be with 5psi of boost upgraded intake mani new cam and upgraded fuel rail with new injectors. Just thought id go easy on this one as a running project and do my big swap to a 92 si hatch
