anyone get upset when you have car parts sitting around you can't put in?? yea me too. and i'm only just getting into the tuner world!

anyways, i got a mad bargin on a blown block with a z6 head. head is fine so i thought i'd look into a lil swapping. all i know that it doesn't have is the dizzy. so here's my situation:

i have a d16y6 in my ek right now. i have the z6 head, intake mani, chipped p28 and obd1-obd2a harness and i'm tryin to do a mini-me swap. other than the dizzy, what else do i need????? and where can i find a dizzy for the swap?????

also, are there any write ups on performing this swap?? i've been searching the forums and can't find anything

i live in olympia, wa, and if anyone's in the area, i wouldn't mind buying them a beer or two for a helping hand!! please help this noob!!!

 

Well, there may be 0DB2 to 0DB1 harnesses for your stock dizzy.

You will have to replace:
-head gasket
-Timing belt
-some oil and coolant

You may want to replace:
-Intake manifold gasket
-waterpump
-head bolts
-valve cover gasket
-dizzy o-ring

that's just off the top of my head...

 

check in the faqs for this for this section is all in there, that's where i've been reading up on them

so i guess i don't need that much more for it then

any idea on where i can find some good gaskets?? and do i need to take the head in somewhere to get it checked??...to see if it's warped, etc.??

 

OEM Honda Gaskets, And i'm sure a machine shop could check it for you.

 

ok found an oem head gasket. want to be better safe than sorry so i'm looking for the intake mani gasket as well

and for the head, do i take it in and say "have your way with her"?? what do i want them to check??

 

Hey I'm from fedy way, if you need a hand, I could use a few beers.

 

PM'd

anybody?? i'm in olympia wa. know any shops around that would help me out?? i'm on a budget but know you get what you pay for

 

I have a list of a few machine shop you could check out. I'll PM you later with the info. I gotta take my B18A1 in anyways to get decked and rehoned.

 

it's like speaking spanish to me

but yes! please PM me later. it would be much appreciated

 

bump bump!!

also, i gotta find a z6 dizzy. anyone got some inside info on where i can get my hands on one??? i've had no luck

 

Lemme see if I can outsource one.

 

question of the day:

do i need a new y7 (block) head gasket or a z6 (head) head gasket??

 

Z6 or even a Y8 head gasket. You also need to use a combo of 9 head studs for the Y7 and 1 for the Z6. That 1 Z6 head stud goes by the VTEC solenoid.

HOLEY SMOKES!! great finds!!! i think i'm goin with the tiger. any arguments??? thanks again guys!!

 

never heard that before...

 

Yup, it's true. The Y7 head stud in that hole would be too short to work.

i did a mini me swap on my brothers hatchand used the y7 studs and they worked just fine

 

damn, good to know

i guess i've never heard it because most people put y8's on their y7's and z6's on their b7's.

 

yea i've heard this before. but i have no idea where to find a z6 stud ????

i think i'll just order some ARPs to be safe unless i find a z6 one first.....

 

haha so anyone want a wrench thrown into this situation?? i'm deploying in june and i decided what's the point of doing the mini-me if when i come back, i'll just swap the y7 for a gsr/b series

anyone interested in min-me parts?? i got a lot of other parts too! just hit up the thread link below. thanks again for everything guys!
