I just recently purchased a 94 civic dx with the d15b7. I've been looking into doing the whole mini me thing with the engine. What heads are compatible on my engine? I want to get a hold of a vtech head if possible. I'm assuming there are no kits for this, I just need to go find myself a parts engine from another car right?

I know i need the head for sure, intake and throttle body would be good too right?

vtec head if possible? you HAVE to have a vtec head to do a mini me swap. and also note how i spelled vtec

 

Why not swap a whole D16Z6?

I read the swap thread and the OP only mentions the gains from the Z6 head. Doesn't mention anything like fuel effiency.

Would do this mini me if I knew the swap gave me Z6 power and B7 fuel efficiency.

 

Because a head is cheaper than an entire engine, and its a cool swap. Gives you z6 power, with z6 fuel efficiency, don't get greedy

 

Yeah, I for sure want to do a VTEC head swap.
Fuel efficency doesn't really matter, but the cost does!

Does anyone know where i can get a hold of a z6 head to do the swap? Am I suck with just finding a parts car or what?

Thanks for the help guys!

 

I got a whole swap I'll sell u if ur interested

 

you can use either a z6 or a y8 head, you can find them complete on craigslist for around 100 bucks, plus your going to want to buy a NEW timing belt for the motor you got the head from

 

alright, well I'm going to do some shopping on craigslist and see what i can find. My last concern was about the intake manifold and throttle body, can I use my stock intake and throttle body or do I need to get the z6 or y8 parts?

Also, will my header from my d15 bolt on or do i need to purchase another one?

Thanks guys!

 

theres write ups on this.....but you can use your stock parts in most cases with the different head, keeps your sensors and everything in your factory locations

 

You don't need the z6 or y8 intake manifold, but it deff helps make more top end power!

 

alll you need a is a complete z6 head. i have a z6 head and dizzy with a AEM adjustable cam gear if ur interested... i dont know where ur located though.... shipping would just be a burden on the cost.
