hey guys, i think this is the right section here. Ok i can get a good deal on a fresh D16Y7. I plan to build this bad boy up and drop it in for my turbo project, but i need a little help from you all on this subject.
1)The engine comes with a OBD0 distributor the man said, how much of a diference does this make (I.e. will i need to get an "obd1" dizzy to be able to run this on an obd1 ecu) i plan of course to use a chipped OBD1 ecu.

2)Is the Y7 block any weaker than say a Z6 or Y8, or are the blocks identical and the difference is the head? I dont want to start out with my block being my weak link you know? If thats the case i will go with a different engine.

3)Is all that is needed for a mini-me vtec swap a vtec head and an ecu (chipped P28 in my case) to run it, or is there more to it then that??

Thanks for the help guys. Todd

use an obd1 dizzy and don't worry about the rods or any of that jazz if you're going to build it up

I'm going to move this to the eg/ek forum as most of the turbo D guys hang out there.
