just did a mini me swap on my 96 ek ..put a z6 head on it and finally got it running, the car when cold seems to run ok but when it warms up everytime i shift and gas the car starts sounding like its shitting out and i get no response for a good 2-3 sumtimes more seconds, sumtimes it seems like its really bad, also when im comming to a stop the car dies out when its warmed up, cold it idles at 900 and says consistant.. im thinking i need to check timing with a timing gun and i ordered a adjustable gear to try and fix this but this is the only thing i can think of to fix it, vacuum lines? anyone have help

Mine did the same thing... It was the dizzy aswell as the tb we were using wasnt the correct one

what ecu are you using

ok im not sure if single cams are the same but i know if you do an lsvtec you have to use the timing belt for the correct head your using, not block because the b16 head is shorter from top to bottom so if you used a b18 timing belt it would be loose.. so im not sure if this applies to single cams as well but check that, use an adjustable cam gear along with a timing gun to make sure your timing is correct and if that fails try another distributor... if your throwing codes check them and post results so someone can help further.. good luck

Care to enlighten as to how a b16 or gsr vtec head is shorter than an ls head?

and i'm preeeetty sure you buy timing belts based on the water pump...

That is not true. When I did my mini me I had to use a z6 timing belt. I had a y8 head and b7 block. His timing is off somewhere... do you have a timing light?

did you remove the oil pressure switch from the block

i have a mini me in my civic right now asshat. i couldnt use a b7 tbelt b/c it has too many teeth, the z6 tbelt is the one you use. your timing if probly off as was already stated. again, read the mini me thread stickied to the top of the page. tells you everything you need to know.

edit: this is the correct info,. the stuff i posted b4 was wrong, i was very very tired. sorry. z6 t belt FTW

BluRgio

im talking about the one that goes between the block and head the one your talking about is called a oil pressure sensor

Jago

yea witch is the thing on the back of the block

kiddcarbuff

the oil jet in the block? between piston # 2 and 3? on the intake mani side?
