Luis998 · 07-29-2008, 11:42 PM

Is that head VTEC? If so, could this technically be considered a mini-me or just a really sweet mix of VTEC parts?

After all, the block is a VTEC block too.

AHHVTEC · 07-29-2008, 11:44 PM

sounds like a hell of a lot of compression to me wait for blanco

JDMB20Coupe · 07-29-2008, 11:46 PM

its a vtec head.

awptickes · 07-30-2008, 07:34 AM

Dude. That's not gonna work real well.

What about valve train, you're going to use a stage 3 cam with stock valves/springs/retainers? Woah. Just give me the money you're going to spend.

BTW, what's your target HP/L? What is this car? (all out race, DD, or weekend car?)

JDMB20Coupe · 07-30-2008, 09:19 AM

im gonna switch the valves and its gonna be a weekend quarter mile car. im goin for 230 with juice. and its goin in a 95 civic ex

Sounds like a pretty good build, if you can ide grab a a6 bottom end with a z6 or y8 head, and keep the a6 rotating assembly with maybe some higher comp pistons, itll be angry as hell.

civic96lx · 08-20-2008, 10:29 PM

how much would you say you're spending on all this?

not to steal the thread or anything, but to other members.. would everything for a mini me swap for 250 expect an ecu for an auto civi be a good deal??

tabKola · 08-20-2008, 10:56 PM

Depends what it comes with. I got my complete y8 head for about $120 shipped from ebay.

JDMB20Coupe · 08-20-2008, 11:30 PM

ill have about a grand in it when im done.

JDMB20Coupe · 08-22-2008, 11:58 PM

thank you very much where is a good place to get a z6 or a6 block?

JDMB20Coupe · 08-24-2008, 11:23 AM

ok thanks

97hatch · 08-24-2008, 11:45 AM

what is the problem with the y8 oil pumps and are the y7s the same way also just curious

97hatch · 08-24-2008, 04:55 PM

they can be fixed with a litle port work to the housing or does the rotor need worked on to

97hatch · 08-25-2008, 09:01 PM

thats what i thought youcould do i just found a couple old y7pumps and the only have like a 1/4 hole on the outlet its like it was cast that way to restrict the flow. blanco what do you know about shiming the pressure regulator spring to raise oil presure.

97hatch · 08-26-2008, 05:24 PM

no there is a spring and a bypassvalve in the oil pump what do you think about shiming it and making the oil pressure a little higher
