Hey everyone. Im getting ready to do some upgrades to my 91 civic dx and im wanting to do the Mini Me Swap to get a few horses out of my car. Can anyone tell me what I need for the swap?

 

you going to use the dx block with a vtec head?

 

click on serch and type in "mini me" and it returnes 512 threads on people that asked the same question and had it answered

 

na am saying i have it with the si block and si intake manifold so you no what i mean

 

Yes my friend basically told me just to use the old d15b2 block and mount a 96 vtec head onto it, along with the other mods.

 

I was just needing a list to go from so I can check around, My friend said he knows where to get most of the parts for $50 bucks. I was just checking around on here for people who have had experience with the MINIME swap.

 

first you need a Z6 head and then a obd-1 computer a conversion harness, use the same one i did i have a dx you can use this one to go from dpfi to mpfi http://www.boomslang.us/obd0to1.htm, then get a 4 wire 02 sensor then a obd-1 intake manifold and a oem d16z6 head gasket i recomend and obd-1 distributor very important you can not use the one your using now this is what i used for my mini me i know you can do it easier but i chose this way because obd-1 is better and i had more parts for obd-1 then obd-0 and you can use a d15b7 the dx block its just not as strong a the a6 but im going to turbo this bitch soon so it will do good for my first vtec turbo but do what i did i swear its going to be better in the long run

 

Alright man thanks for list! I really appreciate it

 

Here's a basic rundown of what you'll need:

You guys rule!! thanks for the help! I really appreciate it.

 

alright man take it easy

 

I guess I'll use the old trans for now, Being a 16 year old has its downs.

 

na not really get a job man things will change if u save up!!!!!!!
take the advise

 

The Laws here are screwed up! you have to make good grades to get a job and to keep your permit or licesens

 

damn my bad i didnt know dat

 

How much power do you get out of a mini me?

 

do the z6 head and obd1 its harder but more potential for tuning i did that in my 90 hatch and it cost me 1500 with motor si trans and all the gaskets and fluids. i did the full z6 swap tho and a stage one port. night and day i am getting roughly 130whp

 

What do you mean full z6 swap? Either it was a z6 motor swap, or a z6 head swap that would be a mini me. I'm confused on the full part.

 

That search button will tell all. It's magic

 

do u know anything about the zc engine by chance... that would be a great engine choice and not that difficult to do and very cheap

 

trust me man i have one done in my my 88 crx si and if u want to squeez juice out of it get a V-AFC FOR REAL mines surprises me everyday lets put it that way!!!!!!!!!

 

What's magic?

125hp, flywheel or wheel?

 

can you use a d16a6 valve cover on a d16z6 head?

 

no u cant

 

crap you sure? LOL. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't as well, but I just wanted to make sure, cuz my friends Z6 valve cover cracked and we have a spare d16a6 valve cover laying around, but I havn't taken a look at it at all.
