Rock that **** Mini-Me lol they can be fun

 

 

definately will work...do it up

 

Ok will do then. I never used to like honda's...well the honda community around here. ANd after driving one man it is freaking awesome!!!!! I am a proud owner of a honda.

 

Please be aware, if your car is a CX, the Vtec head may not work, Please check my Write-up as I dunno if 93's have 4 valve pistons if its a CX

 

um..how do i know what model do i own? Cause i cant find it on the rear of the car. lol

 

dont worry I have a mini me swap and works perfectly and is a CX, in the CX model the head ir 8 valves but the pistons are 16 valves

 

i think you will also need to get oil jets from a vtec engine if you were to use the z6 head

 

man just go to the FAQ and search for the mini me swap and use does instructions man I used them in my swap and work perfectly and mine is a d15 block with a d16y8 head and work very very well and mine was 8 valves (CX)

Talk = End.

The oil jets are there on all Z6, Z1, and B7 blocks, you just have to pull the plug out on B7 blocks.

I'm pretty damn sure you're right, but not positive.

There's an engine stamp to the left of the exhaust header (when looking at the engine from the front), on the vertical axis of where the engine meets the transmission. It's a rectangular extrude from the engine block.

D15B8 is the CX's 8 valve motor.
D15B7 is the DX/LX's 16 valve motor (more up to par for a mini-me swap)

I don't know if it'll work on a B8 block, but if you have a B7 block, it'll work fine for sure.

Here's the write-up for the '92-'95 mini-me how-to.

Ima have to disagree with the 'more up to par' part, The B7 and B8 Blocks are identical, The B8 at one point just switched to 8 valve pistons (The bore and stroke are the same)

MAIN diffrence would be the tranny as the CX tranny is even wider gearing than the DX/LX.

 

Ok so to make things simple I have a D15b7. Its that a ok head swap to do?
