OR

w/ header
CAI
full exhuast
and P28

 

is this even debatable?
lol
D15B7 FTL

 

haha yep. z6 > b7

but... you have to consider the miles on the b7. if its fairly high, and most are, you risk blowing through the rings after slapping on a newer cylinder head. people warned me about this when i did an a6/y8, but i went ahead with it anyway. sure enough a few hundred miles later i was blowing out blue smoke and cyl 2 had 60 psi of compression. looking back on it now i wouldn't of wasted the money on the mini-me, and just saved it towards an engine swap.

 

mini me

 

the B7 has just a hair over 125,000

 

d15b7's are worthless IMO. If your going to stay single cam grab a fresh d16z6.

 

Z6-B7 IS THE WAY to go only if you cant afford a full d16z6 lol i got a b7 block with z6 internals rods pistons ect... y8 head gasket z6 head y8 intake mani dc headers dsm injectors and a mugen chipped ecu and it smashes 9k rpm all day lol fun

 

lol and if i blow it its alright i have alot more single cam blocks to go threw after those are gone my h2b is going in

 

I've had the mini-me in my car before and it was actually a pretty strong motor as SOHC motors go. It was a lot of fun and won me quite a few autocrosses, I would go that route.

 

I have a question I have a 95 honda d15b7 and am rebuilding it to do a min me swap, But have some questions about the rebuild. I am going to use the stock d15b7 block and crank and putting in stock d16a1 pistons in and use the origanal rods from the d15b7, and put a d16z6 head to raise the compresion to 10:1 or 11:1.But the question i have is will the pistons fit and what the compression will be when i am all done and most of all will it work....

 

Old thread. It's probably best to create your own thread rather than bring this one back from the dead.
