intake gasket
y8 wire harness to cut the plugs needed to re wire yours
knock sensor
obd2b vtec ecu (or jumper harness and convert to obd1 and get a p28 ecu and no knock sensor will be needed)
some extra wire
some ecu pins from a donor car

and since you have all that stuff off during swap go ahead and get new timing belt/water pump

I have a 98 dx stock and i also am looking to add some speed. I plan on getting a turbo and running low boost, but would like to beef up the engine still making it a daily driver. How much HP does the mini swap get you? What other options are their to add HP besides the intake, exhaust ****.

About 20-25 hp with minime swap I believe. If your going to be needing much more than that get a b16 or b18 swap. b18 is excellent if you plan on getting a turbo.

I'm not buying an expensive turbo, and don't want to spend a couple grand on a motor swap. The mini me swap, with a decent turbo running bout 6-8 psi, exhaust, headers, and few other minor mods, where do you think that put me with a stock dx 1.6? 200-230 HP? If i do that and its still fairly reliable for a daily driver i'd be happy. Any other engine mods besides a complete swap and the mini me swap, staying reliable?

Turbo manifold will replace your header.....

You also need:

y8 dizzy
y8 intake manifold(optional) but a gain to do it
head gasket
intake gasket
y8 wire harness to cut the plugs needed to re wire yours
knock sensor
obd2b vtec ecu (or jumper harness and convert to obd1 and get a p28 ecu and no knock sensor will be needed)

But yes, that head.
