vtec head swap

[janrick]

Hi guys!

I own a 2000 honda civic lxi and the owner of the shop where i frequently go for repairs and maintenance is offering me to do a head swap for my ph15 engine. He is recommending to swap with a ph16 vtec head and says it will be comparable with the performance of a jdm d15b engine. I doubt this is true cos I know for a fact that a d15b has 130hp against a ph16 which has only 127hp (based on brochures). Now my question is: If i push through with the head swap, will it have any significant increase in the engine performance? What will be the pros and cons of this modification?

I'm looking forward to your suggestions/recommendations/comments to this matter.

Thanks.

the d15 box can be chipped. the ph box cannot.
