I recently picked up a 91 CRX. I know that it has a D15B2 block and MPFI . What I'm not sure is what head I have, or if I have VTEC? If I don't then I plan on doing a mini-me. I'll attach some pictures, thanks for any input.....

 

nope, just the standard nonvtec head

 

Does it look like a good candidate for a mini-me?

 

sure why not?

how many kms on the engine? if its alot then theres really no point.

 

I was told the engine has around 65,000 miles

 

I dig the hood prop

 

yup it looks stock you can see the year of the head its stamped in a little circle above the header.

 

Ok, just looked it says 90. What kind of power gains would i get from the stock engine with MPFI to a Z6 minime? thanks

not much in fact most people on here who have done it say its not worth it. but if you have all the parts allready why not?

 

Well I can get a Z6 head w/ extras for $150. So VTEC doesn't help that much?

That sounds like a plan to me. I have read the write-ups on how to do this swap, but can anyone tell me if i'll be able to do it by myself in my garage. I have all the tools. Thanks

Ok I think I'll try it. Is there a Write-up you reccomend? I've read several and they all seem to be a little different, and I haven't seen one with a D15b2 yet. Thanks

 

i would boost it

its already got the mpfi swap, get a very good tune, 8-9 pounds of boost

Any recomendations for a turbo setup? I've never done one and the ones on homemadeturbo.com are difficult to understand. Thanks

Boost is over done, do a hybrid swap and go for gas milage.

 

You mean diesel/veggie oil? or ethanol? Where/how would I do that?

 

A swap out of a insight.

 

you could buy my buddies turbo manifold/downpipe. Ramhorn and A/c friendly. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2180085

Please replace your distributor O-ring as well!
