As far as I know, the "Mini Me" swap only works on 6th gens.

Sure you can. The principle is exactly the same as the 5th and 6th gen's, but it's just not as popular becasue the work vs reward isn't a high as the traditional Mini-me.

Your car has 117Hp stock right? With the vtec head swap you might get it to 127. $400+ and a whole day-weekend of work isn't very cost or effort efficient.
