I HIGHLY doubt it...

Its not as simple as that, its also going to have to work with the ecu and alot of other good things...

The head is not where the extra .4 comes from. That is from cylinder displacment. ES have about 2000cc of displacement (1000cc = 1L) while the Rallyart has about 2400cc. So reall that means that each cylinder will only gain about 100cc. Long story short, not worth the labor, money, or time.

If you where going to try anything crazy, try an Evo head swap. The change from single to double cam will give you a WHOLE lot more to work with (tunable cams and what not) To my understaning adjustable cams on a SOHC setup will either open the exaust or intake, not both. So your gains depend a lot more on your exaust system and/or intake.

But i give you props for trying, if enough people start to go tune-crazy... soon "they" will make us some creat engines...

my friend has a few DOHC heads laying around. ALOT of machining but the actual block is very similar. Someone should do a GSX DOHC motor swap....SWEET. With the ECU and right wiring I could see it working. Keep an eye out, someone is bound to do it. Or an 4G63 swap.

dream on guys, lol

There is a mivec 4g92, quite rare, wonder if any possibilities lie there, though i believe its dohc

Any 4g6* head won't work, not possible, 4g9* is the series we need the head from, finding the head is the problem
