I just bought a turbo for my wifes y7. The purchase came with a z6 head, and I have been doing a bunch of research about swapping to the z6 head. I have had some trouble finding much info about this swap. I am finding plenty about the y7/y8 mini me, but not much about a y7/z6. I am looking for a write-up on it, or at least some more information. If someone could point me in the right direction I sure would be appreciative. Also wondering if this head swap is going to be worth the trouble since I am throwing a turbo on as well (btw, the z6 head is ported and includes the IM, TB, fuel rail, and 270cc injectors). Should I just throw the IM and accessories on and sell the head, or should I go for the head swap too? Thanks for taking the time to read a n00b's post, and any help provided is much appreciated.

I believe that you will need a y8 headgasket and timing belt. You might need to get another dizzy too but not too sure are you going to be doing a OBD conversion with the turbo setup also?

not too sure. The guy a bought the turbo from is supposed to be getting me an ecu as well. He is either getting a custom programmed obd2 or a obd1 with a chip and jumper harness. I haven't found out for sure yet. Do you think that the head will be worth it? Or should I just go turbo and live with it at that. Like I said this is a daily driver for my wife who just wants some extra power, I am not looking to race. Thanks.

So no help?

Look, I may be a n00b to this forums, but only because I have never bothered with my wifes honda before. I have been around car forums plenty. YES, I do know how to use the search engine. YES, I have read BauleyCivic's write-up for the d15 mini me. YES, I have read soccaian's write-up for the y7/y8 mini me. NO, I have still not found any information specifically pertaining to the y7/z6 mini me. NO, I have still not found any opinions on whether or not I should even bother with the head. I don't know how things go around here, but on the forums I frequent it is pretty rude to ignore someone just because they are new, especially when they have valid questions.
