Re: mini swap???? (diewnaylomoah)
I'm assuming you mean mini-me, which is a name given to someone swapping the y8 head onto their y7 motor to gain vtec and about 20 hp. Since you have a y8, this wouldnt be possible. Unless you want to take your y8 head off, and put it back on..

the y8 came on the 96-00 ex. the z6 came on the 92-95 civic ex and si, and the del sol. either one will work, and there are arguments for both. i would personally go with a y8, since it would be off of the same generation as my car.

here is a write up on everything you need to know about the MINI-ME swap, you can read about both Z6 and Y8 and decide from there which to choose but in my opinion, i would choose the Y8 based on the fact that everything i read and heard, the Z6 sounded more problematic and also the Y8 is from a newer gen. civic so you could prolly find a used one in better condition with less miles put to it. .
