I purchased a 97 civic lx with d16y7 and i have a d16z6 head. Is it worth it and if so what all is needed to do the mini me swap. thanks!

 

is it worth it? yes because then you can tell all your friends you have vtec. lol

 

lol, nice response. Besides having vtec will i notice much of a difference? I have a 95 hatch with an LS swap. Should I just save enough money and do an obd-2 LS swap in the LX instead?

 

hahah

 

Is a 20% increase in power worth it to you?

 

hold up, if you are talking about putting a vtec head on an ls, thats not a mini me. a mini me is a single head swap for a vtec head. your talking about doing lsvtec. riight? and if you are, then yes thats totally worth it.

edit: oh i get it now. lol

 

20% if it's not a bitch to do the swap yeah. If all i need to do is remove and install the head I'd do it.

 

Yup thats all you need.
You wont need to wire up the VTEC, get a new manifold, nor will you need to get the correct ECU.

 

no no no. i have a 05 ls in a 97 lx 4 door that im interested in doing the mini me. if its not worth the time ill just save for an ls swap

 

im confused. and its my birthday and i feel like not answering anymore questions. im gonna go drink some more. sorry i suck at comprehending sh2t.

 

wow...i need sleep.. i cant type. I have a full LS swap in a 1995 civic hatch. I just purchased a 1997 civic LX. If its not worth doing the mini me in the 97 i'll just save and do an LS swap in it also. I figure it would be simple since it's already non vtec

 

Your grammar sucks OP.

 

haha you should be confused cause i read what i typed and i was confused. happy birthday btw.

 

Ok thats MUCH easier to read.


Just wait and do the LS swap.

 

what the guy above me said.

 

^^umm happy birthday haha.
ANYWAY if u do the mini me swap i believe u need to get a different timing belt and u gotta wire VTEC/knock sensor. also, u need to get an ECU for it

 

I'll just wait and do the ls swap. lol. sorry for the typing errors.

 

i got that exact mini me swap. running into alotta problems. Wish i had ls vtech.
