Default B series mini me?

Well i did all the searching google, here.... other honda forums... and if its there i cant find it.

I wanted to know if it is possible to do a mini me to a B series, as there is loads of info on it for the D, but non for the B???

yea, the LSvtec is a b18b block with a vtec head on it, or then theres the CRvtec thats a b20 crv block with a vtec head, I guess its the b-series mini me equivalent

Thanks guys, its not actually for me im rockin the D, i do plan to do a mini me when i find a decent head at a decent price...if any of you know where i can get one I was tellin my friend about the mini me, and he went home and googled and it was all on the D, so i tried searching, found the same, so that's why i came to you guys. Now he is just going to get a whole new engine and tranny though. So thanks.....

Only help now I need is finding me a nice head and cam im still not sure whether to get the Z6 or Y8 i keep changing my mind, but i think im going for the Z6 unless a nice Y8 is up for grabs.
