Mini me quEstion
 
I have a question I can't find an answer to
I see alot kof ppl talking about a mini me swap and was wondering if it was only good if u had a non vtec engine
I have a complete y8 and a z6 also have the y7 and b7 bottoms
would I be better off staying with my complete motor or doing a non vtec bottom with a vtechead

Thank u all for any advice that is offered

just keep the whole vtec engine that will normally run better and last longer the nonv bottom ends werent meant to rev as high as the vtec

ThankS for the help just one more question out of the z6 and y8 which is the better motor
I'm trying to hit a rev limit of 7.5 to 8 k I have the
y8 in my94 civic w a p28 ecu never used the z6 yet been
saving it for a spare

94civichatchback 08-28-2009 04:36 AM

the z6 is a pretty good engine. the y8 oil pump isnt the best...
and to rev that far are you doin any work to the engine??

hamorhead 08-28-2009 04:40 AM

yea please dont rev it that high stock youll eventually kill the engine
and i believe the y8 intake manifold flows better so you could use the y8 intake mani with the z6 on the P28 ecu

I have a friend who told me the y8 block an z6 head is a goods combo
is this true?

94civichatchback 08-28-2009 07:18 AM

y8 and the z6 are just about the same thing
best to go with is
1: z6 head on b7 block (will have good high compression)
2: full z6 and just build it a little.(rods,bearings,cam) or turbo it
and go with the y8 intake manifold on which ever motor you put.

Well I asked about the mini me cause I have a y7 bottom an a b7 bottom
the other guy helping with my questions says stay away from the mini me
that the vtec bottom is better

In ur opinion which would u go with for hp an torque

94civichatchback 08-28-2009 08:57 AM

depends what exactly are your plans........ what are you expecting to get and how.

Honda_man70583 08-28-2009 09:06 AM

Well All I've done to the moto is rebuild the head cold air intake.
S300 ecu header an a 75 shot nitrous
I'm trying to get more torque an a little more top end out of the car I read a
post guy said his z6 mini me ran like a stock b16a if this is correct
tehen I may do the swap I'm just trying to get more insight as far as what is better
