speaking of minimes...i was talking to a honda mechanic whos got a fetish for fast civics...he said an rpm switch won't work too well, he said the best way to do it is to switch the harnii (plural of harness, duh) from obd1 or obd2 depending on your head. and to put that ecu in it too, otherwise you'll just dump fuel into the chambers and won't get as much gain as you could...So i am looking at that, but im soooo poor...ack

converting to obd1 assuming you have a 92-95 d16z6 head isn't that hard so why not. The ECU's aren't that expensive either if you look around

The Z6 (vtec) OBD-1 ECU of choice is the P28...

A6 (Si) OBD-0 is the PM6..

A mini-me swap can produce tons of power, if done correctly (fuel stuff mentioned above).. Your best choice would be putting a D16Y8 head on the D16A6 - this results in a 11:1 compression ratio. Also, the A6 distributor bolts up perfectly to the Y8 head. With the proper fuel management, you'll be able to take down ZC's eeeaaaasssyyy.

Have fun.

You can run OBD-I with a Y8 head, injectors, distributor.

i am very happy with my y8 head. High compression rules. i took the head a part and lapped the valves and put new seals on it. also did a light port and polish. i am running a zydne 1 one conversion. no problems really at all. everyone that rides in my car is impressed with the power. i have a y8 intake man. that i have yet to put on also. i think for the cost it is a very good swap.
