Oh, I see... they're like VTEC-E but not. Still not that great for power though... i'd consider the Y8 and Z6 to be better.

On youtube there is a civic with a d17 block with a y7 vtec head, and another d17 with a y8 intake manifold also so they gotta have some kind of compatability for that mini me setup to work. Im also looking into the d17 istead of a b series motor. Theres gotta be someone who knows for sure. The guy on this vid claims that 2 different tuner magazines say that the d17 is not compatable with ne other d series motors d15, d16 but this guy has done it.

Dang that engine sounded terrible......

Anyways, just cause some guy did it, doesn't mean you should do it.

Couldn't say it better myself
