**Mini-me swap questions**
Sorry just thought I'd double check with you hondatech guys before I start the swap. I hope I'm not a pain but I have a few more questions...
because
I want this mini-me swap to be perfectly done right.
#1) My GSR throttle body has a hole for the IAT sensor but my civic's TB
doesnt have one, can I just make a block off plate and and screw it on to
block that hole off? Or should I wire the IAT sensor for the P28 ecu?
#2) I also heard the JDM d15b IM has larger runners and larger injectors,
is this true? How does this compare to the USDM d16y8 IM?
#3) Can I still run turbo with this high compression setup if I want a lil
more power? Like maybe a stock 90-91 DSM Eclipse/Talon turbo? What max psi can I run and what average HP will I be getting at that psi?
#4) My d16z6 head is rebuilt and probably has been milled, is it still safe to take out the middle layer of the metal y8 headgasket? Also, can I use the d15b7 cam gear on the z6 head or should I find a z6 cam gear being that the z6 is vtec? Is an adjustable cam gear preferable for my setup versus a stock z6 cam gear?
Thanks in advance for those willing to answer my questions rather than be a ***** about it. Keep in mind, I'm new to this forum but not new to hondas. These questions are more directed at someone who's already experienced with these vtec head swaps and these are NOT how-to questions.

i wouldnt boost on the mini-me more than 5-6psi, and if that is the plan i wouldnt use a stock or modified y8 head gasket. cam gear should be the same diameter, might be differant timing marks though. the DSM stock wastegate is set to 11psi, and wouldnt be good on this high CR build.
