Default z6 head on dx block

any idea how a z6 head will perform on a dx block? any problem using a p28 ecu? could somebody get me hp numbers for z6 , dx , and a hybrid? tried searching, only found heads for sale and blocks for sale

this setup is called a minime. Yes you should probably use a p28 ecu. Also the hp numbers will also be similar to a stock z6 except you may have a little less torque from the 1.5liter block. Also make sure you get the z6 or a y8 tranny with it or else you will still have that long *** dx gearing.

yes it is called a minime and you need to run the p28 ecu, unless you want to use some sort of trigger device for the VTEC. IMO i would use the p28 it gives you the adaquate fuel you need to run the VTEC and it will be better in the long run, all you need to do is run 2 wires from the harness to the ecu and your golden. if you do the swap, you will still have to deal with the weak 1.5 rods, which dont mix with boost of any kind. i would get a complete z6 swap with the trans (z6 or y8) and youll be better off, i think anyways

Learn what you're saying. VTEC doesn't run off fuel, it runs off oil pressure.

theres other ecu's that you can use that have vtec.

adaquete fuel for vtec??? i dont know what you are trying to say here but injectors are the same on single cam civics (damn near all b series too). the only reason a non vtec ecu wouldnt work is because its not made for vtec, not because it wouldnt give enough fuel.

you always need to upgrade pats before turboing for best reliability and stability
