Whats up im newbie to the HT....Im looking 4 some advice tho on a Mini Me swap....I have a 98 Honda Hatch....I know I will need a EX head, timing belt, EX ecu or MSD activator switch ??? Can i use my DX intake and exhuast manifold ??? Any advice would be cool....

 

You CAN use your dx IM and exhaust manifold, but why? If your going to do it, do it right. Get the y8(96-00 ex) intake manifold and head. While your at it get a light wieght header(DC is fine) and get a EX/Si tranny. The DX tranny sucks ***. Also, a EX ecu will work fine(the OBDII is called a P2P).

 

Also I forgot to ask earlier....will i run into any problems with the swap or does everything bolt up perfect (ex distributor and etc)....

 

th swap easy but there is a few bumpslike wireing the iac from dx to ex is kinda confusing but noting a wireing diagram wont fix and in switching to the ex exhaust manifold make sure you pick up the stock cat or run with out one just have another o2 bung welded in

 

Dont use the DX intake manny. if im not mistaken, it points up, right. thats a good loss of power.

 

If i got my hands on a 96-98 Ex head, Intake manifold, and a nice header id be in good shape....Toss all my Dx junk....Would i be better off using a Ex ecu or reprogram the Dx ecu and use a activator switch for the vtec....Also how much of a differ is the Ex tranny compared to the Dx tranny....
