d16z6 in EK?
well..I was gonna go turbo...but my engine is now fucked...so i decided that I want to go N/A d16 vtec. Because the price is so cheap for the extra horses that my D16Y7 doesnt have...I've decided to go this route. D16y8's only have 2 more HP than Z6's....and Z6's are much cheaper. ($250-$350) The problem is...is it self swapable? I plan on swapping it myself cauese I'm not that stupid. I know how things work...but its a Z6 and not a y8 meaning...different engines..so will anything be a problem? I plan on keeping my DX tranny cause it has longer gears...and that's what I want....anyone suggest something different? Basically...I just want a SOHC VTEC engine...I was thinking about mini-me but its just too hard to find parts and with the money for the parts, I can just buy a whole engine instead of just the head, manifold, ecu...what are your suggestions? will a z6 fit PERFECTLY in a EK? or should I just do Mini-Me? how much will a Mini-Me cost? Thanks

It is possible but I think in CA the engine has to be same year or newer than the car. You would also need ECU, axles, tranny, etc.

how come i would need new axles and tranny? Is it not possible to keep my DX tranny and axles...I'm a little confused..as far as I see it...I THOUGHT I only need the head,manny,and ecu which I already stated... are there any good websites about mini-me's? or anything close to it? Thanks

your tranny and block, axles, should be cool. Good luck, although, sometimes these things turn out to be very expensive.

yes that is true..its illegal...but what if you just want to do a Mini-Me..? its just the head that gets changed..My car is OBDII and z6's are OBDI..is it still posible to swap the head from a z6 to a y7 block?
