sure. as long as you get it tuned, and don't expect more than 220 hp on stock internals.

ej93

no i just want it to be fast and a DD i just built it.....its a d15b7 block with a d16z6 and a y8 head gaskit...... the only problem im having is now its over heating and i dont know why i dont even know if i should still put the turbo on

The Greddy turbo kit will be fine, but you really need to figure out your overheating issue first.

ej93

is there any reason it would over heat now???? it never did befor the head swap could it be because i dont have the right dizzy and manifold or because the head might be warped????

ej93

is your thermostat bad? is your radiator fan turning on? have you checked the coolant?

ej93

Took out the thermostat the fan works and its full

did you say you removed the thermostat completely, if so put one back in. there is a reason for them.

Also if you started with a d15b7 chances are it had a paper type head gasket. these tend to fall apart when replacing them so you need to scrape the head surface to fully remove the old gasket. you could have scratched the block surface which could be leaking coolant. which would result in overheating.

so....

ej93

no i removed the head gasket with a razor making sure not to nick the block and its not leaking....and i do have the thermostat i just took it out to see if that would help but it did not. so i put it back in....i really dont know what to do it wasnt doing this befor i put the head on

Have you timed the motor yet? a mini has a bit more compression that stock, add that to an advanced distributor, id say it'll run hot. either that or you screwed up the install

maybe you should get your head checked out.

ej93

well im going to take it apart tomorrow and get the head checked so lets see what happens that means i have to do it all over again.....and i wanted to ask does it matter that i have the d15b7 dizzy on it will that make it over heat.....or change the timming

91jdmhatchback

yeah the timing is way different.





Looks to be 180 out on between the 2.

ej93

Ok ya i know what im doing the only thing is i work so i post it here so on my breaks i can check what ppl say or there opinion. Dude if you dont like helping ppl you shouldnt

91jdmhatchback

No i was just irritated that a swap like the mini-me wouldn't be research prior to doing.

Hard to expect people to take time and help, when you didn't take the 5 sec to google search "mini-me" swap. so......

ej93
