i got a 90 civic wago van my car has a stock d16 i want to convert my car vtec what do i need so my car can run vtec..i want it to be a dd...any help would be good i want it to be done right..thanx H-T

 

d16 what? d16a6?

well you can get a d16z6 head, make sure its obd0. your gonna have to re-wire the dizzy to get a sohc vtec ecu. i know im missing some info so if anyone can help me out...

its called a Mini Me swap. tons of info in the EF faq at the top of the EF/Civic Thread

 

Use the search button

 

hate to be the guy that says "use the search function", so I wont...

 

well you'll need a vtec head for starters, and all the accessories that goes w it, search up on how to do a mini me on google or something, tons of good info. but you'll also have to either convert to obd1 or get a vtec controller...

 

You can't get a Z6 head OBD0. Z6 engines run on the P28 ECU which is OBD1.
However, you can use the OBD-0 ECU and hook vtec up with an RPM activated switch. Your fuel maps won't be right for vtec, but it will get it working.
It would be better to convert the OBD0 ECU to vtec and chip it with a fuel map to support it.

Least hassle and most options would be converting to an OBD1. You can run a virgin P28 or go chip on of the many other OBD1 ECUs to get the job done.

You can also run a D16Y8 head. It's OBD2, but you don't need to run it OBD2 (would be a total nightmare). You have the same options with the ECU as the Z6.

If you go OBD1, you can not use the OBD0 distributor. You will need either the OBD1 or OBD2 distributor - both will work on OBD1.
All sensors are compatible as well except the O2 sensor. OBD1 requires a 4 wire O2.
