Dominick EM1crew.com Registered VIP 5+ Year Member Nov 22, 2015 #2 SOHC = single over-head cam DOHC = dual over-head cam It's an entirely different motor structure. Your DX's D16Y7 is not factory equipped with VTEC (no "h"). So if you want to have a VTEC engine, you are going to have to swap in a new one.
