Mini Me:

How you like the HP gains/vtec over stock? Are you happy with it, and also, did you run into any issues during the install?

I'm currently doing this swap into my EG, and am looking for some pointers. I've already removed the head, and resurfaced it/degreased. Installed new head gasket, IM gasket, y8 Intake Mani, and the distributor OBD2 with conversion harness. I'm onto the timing belt now, and purchased the Vtec 96-98 one, as the oem one has too much slack in it...
Next is wiring the Vtec to the P28 Ecu. Anyone have helpful pics of the wiring? As i understand it, the Vtec solenoid connects to the A4 wire, and Pressure switch connects to D6 wire off the ecu. ( is that it?)

Thanks for any help!

 

Most of the people I've talked to like it for about 2 weeks.

Ask bauley, he did the write-up on mini-me's and he'll tell you first-hand it's a complete waste of time/money.

Correct me if im wrong, but dont the D15b8 pistons have different cutouts on top of them, to accomodate its 8-valve head? Im not very clear on this, but i remember there being an issue of adding a 16valve head to the pistons that had the cutouts ( i dont know the correct term) for an 8-valve head. Like i said before, im open to all corrections on that, but the thought had just crossed my mind.

 

Probably swapping out pistons for ones that can accomodate 4 valves per cylinder would be a wise choice.

 

Wow, that Mini-Me Swap guy is a guru when it comes to that swap. +rep if i could on that write-up!
