Cool man, have fun!

Good luck man. Mini me swaps are not very hard at all.

Paint that valve cover and you're money. Have fun with the swap. On the topic of Mini-mes, does anyone remember way back in the day when Import Tuner ran a story on it with Eclipse Auto in San Diego. They portrayed it as a "Frankenstein" venture and were totally hyping it up as an extreme mod. It's just funny how anyone with a bit of tuner knowledge under their belt can do it now a days.

a frankenstein is basically a DOHC mini-me isnt it? taking a DOHC non-vtec and putting a DOHC vtec head on it?

im with mad7s. paint the valvecover and it will be sweet.

RE: MY NEWEST PROJECT
 

that is on my list of things to do with the cover. i'm thinkin of a nice shiny podwer coated blue. with polished VTEC and other letters and emblems. i want to make this look clean

RE: MY NEWEST PROJECT

Very nice... I'm in the process of swapping in a z6 head. Good luck! It's not hard at all.

No.. the only D-series motors that were DOHC were the 87-89 D16A1 and the DOHC ZC... both are 1.6, DOHC... a mini-me refers to taking a non-vtec D-series block and putting a SOHC VTEC D-series head on it...

A dual cam "mini-me" is a B-series, in which case you will hear it called LS-Vtec, CR-VTEC, GS-VTEC... it all depends on what bottom end you use
