WTB GE Head L15a7 complete head

I am looking to buy a 09-2013 Honda Fit complete head; this is a project I am working on. I plan to use the rocker arms/ cam out of the GE head and put them in the GD; which is give me true vtec without the intergrated header. This may also work for a GE by uses the GD head with GE parts on the GD block. I have hondata to tune with. So if you crashed your fit help us all out by selling me the head.

But isn't a true VTEC actuated/Have a Solenoid?
You'd be better off running uprated custom Cams, Balanced and lightened Crank, Flywheel and uprated Pistons/Bearings/Rods, Valves, Springs etc if you're looking for a 140Hp setup, No?

I wouldnt mind picking an extra head up either. Wouldnt hurt to grind out the exhaust side and see about increasing flow!

^I bet they will ship!

I would be curious to see how this plays out...

There are 140+ NA builds. Here are a few threads:
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...40-hp-fit.html
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...ec-tuning.html

Second one even has a dyno sheet.

If I EVER get to build my side motor for full NA, my recipe will include Cam/head work for 10K+ rpm reliability, an adjustable cam gear and a bump in both compression and displacement.

It's going to cost more than a comparable turbo setup and have less potential. I know this, but would choose to go "all motor" any way.

I have heard that this is a bad idea because the L15's block is already so thin, that grinding it out any more can weaken it too much.

However, if you could stress test it on a motor that wasn't in your car, that'd be a different story. Maybe a shop around town has a wrecked Fit that you could salvage?
