i dont' have any y7 manifolds, just manual y8 manis, as a y8 is what i used to have. i'm buying a y7 longblock and swapping the head from my current y8 onto it.

You shouldn't have any problems then. The y7 and y8 blocks seems to be identical. If your car had a d16y8 in the first place, it's very simple, no rewiring or any of that other things necessary to be done. Just bolt on and it should be fine. You may have to tap a hole located in the same postition as the d16y8 block to put in the knock sensor, but everything else should be just like replacing it in with another y8.

89 hatchback

first of all do you know how much hp difference u had after the mini me swap. and i have a D15B2 in my 89 hatch and i seen this and i didnt know if it would be better to do the mini me swap or if i should go ahead and do the DOHC ZC Swap like i had planed. if it would be better for me to do the mini me and build that how much am i looking at to do the full mini me swap in parts?????? and would it be worth it in a 89 hatch?????

Swaping a ZC or a doing a MINI-ME or even a D16Y8 is gonna net you about the same results.

The advantage of swapping a D16Y8 is that its gonna have aubstantially less miles than either the ZC or a MINI-ME from your D15.

Downside is that the D16Y8 is gonna be OBD 2. Though that can be fixed.

The onyl real advatage of the DOHC ZC is, well its DOHC. So you have better cam adjustment.

Personally you are better off doing a D16Y8 swap. About same power as what you will make from the other swaps stated above and its got less miles.

I rad that thread on H-T a long time ago. For how much he spent doing that, I bought my old D16Y8 & tranny for less. $400 to be exact & would own a mini-me lol.

 

[civic939]

is there anything like the mini-me that can be done to a stock d16z6?

Please read the entire thread.

If you noticed Z6 heads are used to add VTEC to NON VTEC blocks. So a MINI ME in your application isnt necassary since the D16Z6 is already VTEC equipped.

Ok a quick run down since Im going to sleep after this.

Multi Angle Valve jobs. This is done to the area where the valve seats. There are 2 jobs to choose from 3 angle & 5 angle.

Porting. You can get the head ported a little which will smooth out any rough surfaces with in the ports. This can also be done to the intake and exhaust manifolds, which recommended to increase air flow.

Thats bout it for now..Im going to sleep.
