Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on this.

I currently own a Civic 1992 model 1.5L engine.

I wish to know how possible it is for me to install a V-TEC engine and some advice about it.

Thanks a lot,

Yes its possible

its called a "mini me swap" Go on google and read about it. its very famous. its when you take a D16z6 or D16y8 SOHC VTEC head swapped onto a D15b7 block (d15 is your engine).

You need the d16 ECU, fuel rails, injectors and the intake manifold.

You would also need a vtec controller

 

You can also put a whole D16Z6 engine in, this gives you a little more power because if you just do a mini-me you still have a 1500cc engine, though it is VTEC. The "EX" version was supplied with the D16Z6 as stock.

 

Thanks Guys

 

the only thing you listed that you need for a mini-me is the ECU.
The intake manifold is recommended because it is better and has larger runners.
You don't need a VTEC controller. The ECU will allow VTEC to work, as long as you run the VTEC wire and the oil pressure switch wire from the ECU to the VTEC solenoid.
