i got a 1990 crxsi got for 500 dollars has 37,000 origonal miles i got a 5th gen head and i got a 1991 ls motor i paid 100 bucks for what should i do? want to do mini since my motor is so new? how do i do the mini me? Also i heard the p28 ecu is what gives more power if i was to use this ecu how would i have to wire that?
Thanks for the help

 

I think I am missing something here. You talk about a ls motor, then go on to talk about a Mini-Me. The Mini-Me uses the head or complete engine (depending on who your talking too) of a D16Z6 or D16Y8. Where as, the ls is a totally different engine.

 

he was just saying that the motor has low miles and didn't want to take it out cuz it's still in good shape....i would just throw the ls motor in there and save the d16a if your ls goes bad

 

are you sure 37000 original miles a crx si for 500???

 

Maybe that is 370,000 original miles.

 

hmm, great deal, but are u sure about the mileage? the white number on the right is a 1/10th of a mile. but if it's really 37,000, then that's good.

i am confused about what u said. do u have the crx and then an integra LS motor separately? please clarify.

about the minime. it refers ONLY to putting a SOHC VTEC head from a d16z6 or d16y8 engine on a non-vtec 1.5 or 1.6 CRX block. the name comes from comparison to the popular LS/VTEC swap, also known as Dr. Evil. and therefore the mini-me gets its name from being a sort of a smaller version of that. well, u get the point.

u can use the stock Si ecu and get either Field V-SFC or for a little more money a much better Apexi V-AFC to control the vtec and fuel maps. u can also get a ZDyne ECU for b16 swap, it'll work just as well for the mini-me.

 

yes my car does have 37,000 miles old lady drove it. its like brand new for 500 dollars thats what iam asking dont want to take out motor but got a ls sitting at home that i got for 100 dollars what should i do. ive heard good and bad about the mini me and 1/4 miles times? ive heard stuff about the vtec and ecu and i dont know how to do it

Do a basic mini-me set-up, then start saving money!Build the ls motor up on the side, and install it down the road
That way, your car is faster now, and you have another motor for later!

Now that may not be possible, but if it is, it would be cool.

 

dont wanna be rude, but what the hell are you talking about?????
Mini me, What dose that mean to you.....


Me--d15b7-with a d16a6 head with either a zc trannie, or si
Now i fyour talking about a d16a8/9 , teg bottom with a A1 head different story...

 

please translate into English.

 

d16a6 block with a d16z6 head....pretty simple cheif

 

If you have 37,000 miles on your car, ******* sell that car for the $6000+ it's worth and get an '88 Hf with no engine. Then build up the ls engine, do some suspension/brake work, and still have money left over to send a thank you card to the old lady you stole the car from.

**** the mini-me, and that's coming from experience. No use getting involved in that swap if you're gonna swap something else in the future.

To answer your original question, the car will run best with a 4g Si ECU (the stock one) reprogrammed by ZDYNE for the Z6 swap. Again, experience. I've heard good things about the Fields, but besides that, don't use the Z6 ECU or any other ghetto rigged way. Do it right.
