Another dumb question. D16y7 is ODB2. How does that work with z6 head?? I guess a better way to ask is what is the difference from obd1 to obd2??

 

I'm pretty sure you can get everything you need on Ebay to do a mini-me swap. I've seen some nice Z6 heads with aftermarket cam shafts and other stuff on Ebay. I heard you also need to change the ECU and add on the Vtec spool. Is it really necessary to change the throttle body also? thats like a couple hundred more dollars than i expected...

 

flipping- obd1,obd2 is the computer system, 88-91 is obd0, 92-95 is obd1, 96-up is obd2
all d" series motors have same bolt patterns.

bluebirdcivic- no its not required for the d16z6 throttle body, its a suggestion to have more power.

for a minime swap to work you are required to have-

complete vtec head(d15b,d15z1,d16z6,d16y8)
the distributor from same head you are using
the ecu obd1-p28,p30 obd2-p2p,pj2
you will also need to run a few wires fom the vtec head to the new ecu.
obd1 you only need to run pin a4 and d6, obd2 requires a knock sensor

 

ok cool thanks so d16z6 head with dizzy and vtec with p20 ecu for my d15b7 block, you guys are awsome thanks for the help

 

p28 ecu not p20 there is no such thing

 

yes p28 is what i ment, so how much boost will that motor hold safely? with the mini me head and such

 

i wouldnt boost it, you will be runing to high of a compression already to boost, upgrade the internals first and buy a set of low compression pistons, and arp head studs, and a thick head gasket to help lower compression.

 

so does the z6 head raise compression then? how much is the 15 block compression and how much will it be after i put the z6 head on

 

yes when you do a mini me swap it rasies the compression, its because of the pistons,
a non vtec motor has higher compression pistons than a vtec motor, but the vtec motor makes up for it because when vtec engages it dumps more air into the cylinders raising the compression. thats why a minime has more power than a full vtec motor.

 

AH i get it, im a v8 guy, got a camaro and the honda is my winter ride, i am still learning more and more about them every day
