Ok i have a d15 dx motor and im gonna put a vtec head!
Now what i need to no is whether to do a vx head or a ex head!
and will the ex head work?

and if i get the ex head can i also get a ex ecu and install that in sted of that other shit to activate the vtec or do i still need the hondata ecu!

 

I am in the process of fully building one of these but im using the si bottom end, and a 98 vtec head.

So to answer your question yes you can use the EX head.
I would use 96 and up head for the higher compression and better combustion chambers!!!

As far as the ecu you have to use the PM6 out of either 89-91 civic si or 88-91 crx si then send it to Zdyne they already have a program for the mini me fuel, spark, vtec!!!

Also do research you might run into problems with distributor??
If you do a search there is lots of info on these.
Iknow the 92-95 head is a pain in ass to use plus it sucks!!
If you got any questions feel free to pm me.

 

dude you will throw a rod with a y8 head
and 1.5 bottom end trust me, Ive seen it happen
I have done quite a few mini-me's
if you have questions pm I have
finished 2 that have no problems
and run strong as the dickens

 

eric, one question.... how strong does a dickens run?

 

 

ride in chris's car
you will respect the SOHC

 

I 2nd that eric, Chris's car is a fucking beast...
and i like the sohc vtec, i think its clean work, dont you use a Ex head eric??

 

well this is what i think i just got done doing a mini me swap on my four door and my advice to you is just not to do it.......swap the whole thing......just my opinion!

 

i was planning a minime then decided to swap the whole thing...just got it runin yesterday and still workin out bugs (like why i have vacume nipples left over and shit)...after 3 weeks of downtime...

NOTE: whichever you do make sure you have ALL the necessary parts.
