i have a 95 dx 1.5. i heard something about a mini V-tec for non v-tec motors. i was just wondering if there was such a thing and if so how do you go about doing it?

 

what you're thinking of is a mini-me swap. It's a head swap where you take a vtec engine's head and put it on a non-vtec block, and it's usually good for a (relatively) cheap 20 horsepower or so. If you do a search for "mini me", I'm sure there will be a ton of info.

Welcome to the forums, by the way

 

Heads your gonna want to look for are the D16Z6 SOHC head/manifolds and vtec solenoid. than your gonna need an ECM so that you can use the vtec

or you can get a D16Y8 head from the 96-2000 civics and get the same as mentioned above.

 

Now thats some great info there and i would love to get that cuz mines isnt vtec either so i would get this, does anyone know how much it would be?

 

type in mini, you cna put either a y8 head or a z6 head on your current non vtec block, you will also need to wire up the vtec solenoid and ai would suggest replacing the timing belt and other parts as well. i was oging to do the same swap but in my opinion you would be better off going with a full motor swap

 

ya do you know which head is more efficient, the d16z6 or the d16y8 head.

 

The Y8 is newer than the Z6 so it all depends. to me z6 would fit u best becasue u have an obd1 car and the z6 is obd1. y8 is obd2 so u will need the conversion/piggyback or rewire the whole car
