So iv heard that you can use all the solenoids and senors from a d16 and use them for a b16 is this true??? If so exactly which ones... Exactly what senors are even all on a d16??? B16???

The oil pressure sensor should be interchangable, but the solenoid itself I am not sure about...

Is that the only sensor that I could use from a d16???

the vtec solenoid assembly from a d16z6 will bolt to a b16 head only, (and the solenoid its self will interchange to all the bseries vtec assemblys) but the gsr has a diff water neck outler than a b16 (and i dont believe it clears) as the oil pressure swith will hit as it exits on the side on the z6 one where as a dohc one exits strait looking at it forward, the solenoid will interchange between the 2 and so will the oil pressure switch... so im saying you can take the whole vtec soleniod assembly off of a z6 and it will fit a b16 head...
on a side note nothing off of a y8 vtec assembly will work but the pressure switch and a h22 has a diff. one as well (main housing part), but i believe the solenoid and pressure swith will interchange from a h22 one but i dnt 100% remember....
