About to get my hands on a decent B7 block and was thinking about doing a rebuild and trying a Z6 head on it as well, now I know a few things about the swap but there are a few things I still don't know. I will be staying with the auto Trans as it will be a dd, I need to know if I need a auto p28 ecu and ex harness? And if so would I also have to use the Z6 dizzy plugs wires and intake? I heard the y8 head gasket is the best to use but I'm not sure. I know I'll need after market headers any input is appreciated.
Thanks-Derek

 

Sounds like a normal mini me swap to me so check the FAQ's for part listings. You don't need an EX harness you'll just need to wire up VTEC solenoid and pressure switch. Use the Auto P28 ECU. The rest should plug and play. You don't need a Z6 intake manifold but it will help with performance. As far as head gaskets it won't make that much of a difference just make sure you go with OEM for the best fit. You'll have to use the Z6 spark plug wires as they differ from the B7's. You don' need an aftermarket header just reuse yours.

 

Awesome thanks for the reply and input and as far as exhaust I can use the d15 manifold?

 

Yes

 

Awesome thanks guys! Now if only people would reply to my other thread...

 

is that harness on your ebay page what i need to wire vtec?

 

Which timing belt are you going to go with?

 

just did my d15b7 mini me over the weekend. i used a 104 teeth belt. no issues.

 

since i have the b7 bottem end and the z6 top i am going to use the z6 timing belt

 

thats the right belt. 104 teeth.

 

Awesome! Thanks again for those of you who chimed in and gave your knowlage.

 

Yes
