alright... i think a mini me swap is what its called, but anyway, i have a 92 civic with a d15b7 in it. i also have a head off of a d16z6.
what all do i have to do to put the head on the b7 block and get it runnin?
is it worth it?
would i need to run the ecu from the z6?

i havn't done it but i'm positive that you gotta have a z6 headgasket and timing belt (but i'm not completely positive)... and use a p28

asmallsol · 01-10-2003, 02:06 AM

use the z6 timing belt, z6 ecu, metal head gasket (have no idea what brand) and z6 h2o pump

whats a p28?

i am no mechanic, have to be specific

what about the pistons?
should i swap them also?
rods?or just the pistons?

would it be worth trying????

p28 is a ecu.I would wait to get the exact for sure list of parts and how to before doing it.

p28 is the ecu that ran the d16z6 from the factory (92-95 civ ex/del sol si)

If you want to suck all of the hp from this setup as possible. Use the Mugen headgasket and get an extra 10 out of it.

i wouldn't have thought u could get that much out of a head gas.
know wher i can get one?
do you all think it would be better to just swap the whole motors?
which could i get more over all power from?
i dont race the car, but like to have it when i want it.
mostly show
either way the head left today, to get ported and polished.
any body know any tricks to getting power out of a head?
i am wanting to keep it pretty cheap though
what would a 3 deg. angle job on the vavles do for me?

all have been appreciated, so far
thanks alot

New valve train,stronger springs,and hotter cams will also be a good addition to your head,but dollar for dollar you'd be better off with swapping a B into there.Even as a more show oriented car,a swap gets more props.Besides the fact that by the time your done with the work you'll get for the price of building a D series,the Bseries will be starting with the same power with no where to go but up.
