94 DX mini me swap
Ok guys just wondering how much power and what kind of performance am I looking at when I do a mini me swap. I have a Dx civic and looking to put on a v-tec EX head on it. Is it worth it for the couple hundred I spend on the head? Anyone who has done this mini me swap thing please give you input..

Whats nice about the minime is that you just have to change the head. So it is easier the a full engine swap. A tranny is a good idea tho.

I dont know i think its kind of a pain in the ***. I would rather swap a whole motor rather than a head but thats just my opinion. I did a mini me swap and saw some nice gains even though mine had head work done. Just make sure to get everything TDC before trying to turn it on and make sure its all timed correctly. Before puttin on the head also check for bent valves and get it cleaned and milled. But you should expect pretty nice gains and i was happy with mine.
