Any interest in a D15B8 Mini Me VTEC conversion write up?
As the title states, is there any interest in a D15B8 8 valve specific Mini Me VTEC conversion write up? I've looked on here before taking on this endeavor and the only thing I had found was that 16 valve pistons are necessary if it's not already in there. I've found a few other things that are different on the 8 valve motor. My work is still in progress but it's close enough to completion to do a write up.

Re: (Bense)
I guess the same would apply because there are a couple of things that are different from the CX/D15B8 motor compared to the DX/EX/Si D15B7/D16Z6. The stuff I had found while doing the swap are things that weren't mentioned with the good Mini Me info on here because they are based off DX engines. I guess I'll search some more and if I don't find the info on here then I'll do the write up.

Re: (Bense)
yeah, the blocks themselves are the same but there is a difference in the coolant lines (or lack of for the B8 haha) and a small difference on the intake manifold. that's something i didn't find when researching. i expected a straight swap and plug and play with only additional wiring for the VTEC solenoid.

Re: (h22aBB4)
Well the write up itself is the same as a regular mini me. The small differences are with a MAP sensor and a coolant line variation. Maybe instead of doing a whole write up I can just put in detail what the differences are and what to look out for.
