Default How to Mini-me?

Hey guys....
Other then..Please do a search....Help me out would you!
I'm not too familar with the mini-me swap, and thought I'd just do it to see what happens.
Ok I just got a 89 Civic LX with the D15B2 DPFI and I'm wandering what I will need to do a mini-me swap.
What parts would I need to use the D16Z6 head? What about the D16Y8?
What are the different ways of setting it up? Wiring? Manifolds? Etc.?
Please list what you know...thanx.

Full Z6 head, timing belt, head bolts, head gasket, dizzy, wiring for VTEC, valve cover gasket....

Suggested intake manifold, exhaust manifold, (all new gaskets with those), water pump, injectors

NOT searching on this site is a bad idea...theres a couple very good threads on here that go STEP BY STEP through the process.

I've searched, but there isn't a good enough one for me on the D15B2 VTEC conversion.
I'd like to know from people who have done the project and see what they use.

I don't know about the D15 set up, but I have a 91 CRX Si with an 91 A6
bottom and 97 Y8 head . It was a fairly simple swap with great results!
I used the:
stock 91 Si bottom end
stock 97 Civic Ex head - Y8
z6 head gasket
y8 valve cover gasket
89 Integra PG7 ecu
stock 91 Si distributor
new 97 head studs
APEXI VAFC

End result was 11:1 compression and 125+ whp/112 ft lb tq
Don't forget to remove the oil jet in the D block! The VTEC heads come
with one already.

To the factory ecu harness inside the car. Then there is the VTEC solinoid wire that runs to the VTEC solinoid on the head.
Make sure you feel comfortable about hacking into you wire harness!
Otherwise find someone who has done this install.

The PG7 is from a 1989 Acura Integra LS or RS 5 speed.
It plugs right into the 88-91 CRX/Civic Si harness. It has a more
aggressive fuel map and raises the rev limiter.
The APEXi VAFC is what controls the VTEC and fuel curve.

This is much easier and cheaper than doing an entire obdI or II swap
