Default My plan: waste of money or is it good?

well i have a 91 dx right now, and here are my plans, i'm on a budget right now and i don't want to spend 1000+ on a b-series engine

d15b2
1. dpfi to mpfi conversion
2. si transmission
3. d16z6 head (mini me) but stay obd0 and use a vtec activate switch(VAFC, Fields)
4. turbo?

after the mini me, i will probably try to do an obd0-obd1 conversion and use a p28 ecu with a d16z6 intake manifold, but i don't know, what do you guys think? how good will this run and i want to use this as a daily driver and possibly autoX possibly run in the 14s with this setup?

sounds good to me, that s basically my old setup, but i was in an si, and has a nice cam, good for 14's, would be fun to turbo. Now im using a straight d16z6, and about to turbo, reeeaaall soon, like now.. lol. But yeah, i also am obd1, and its great, way better than using the vafc to tune. Less headaches.

sounds good. just realize youll probably be only in the high 15s until you turbo it. also look into getting a lower compression d series. i supercharged a mini me and detonation killed it within 3 days.

Everything you said is a great start but do the OBD 1 conversion right away and do it right.
