doing a mini me swap on a d15 with a vtec head. can i re use my valve cover? also any consistant set backs in this swap i can prepare for? thanks alot!

 

you should be able to reuse your vc, but what head are you using for the mini me?

 

What block and head are you using?

I'm don't think that it will work. For example, a b7 valve cover will not work on a z6 head.

x2, that Valve cover for the d15b7 has sparkplugs in the rear, vs the Z6 whose are in front. Its just the way the head is made.

 

haha i wanted to do this for the longest time to my 93 coupe d15. instead i got a 95 civic ex.

a civic dx will be just a smigen faster w/ the mini me swap then a ex, do to the dx model is a lilo lighter and cheap ***,its a nice lil step up in power for what it is...


you will need a complete head and valve cover from a z6 or y8, the ECU and make sure you get the v-tec sylonoid.

it would be a decent upgrade if you strip out yur car or atleast anything worthless in there, and add the head,108HP up to 125HP

you cant really feel v-tec kick though so dont count on that.
