ship them to me, i'll i.d. them for you! :D

I'd just convert to r134a... I live in hot-as-balls New Orleans, and it cools BETTER than it did with the r12. I used Freeze-12 on another car once and it cooled really good, but it made the compressor whine loudly. Wouldn't recommend it.

yeah manual's are great fun, unless your daily commute involves sitting in stop and go traffic for an hour. if i lived in the country, full of smooth, winding, traffic-free roads, i'd never think about an auto... but here, it just makes more sense. i had a manual shift camaro and it was such a...

yeah i know this is an old @$$ thread, but i'd love to see someone build an automatic and try to make it more durable to handle 200+ hp and tq. I'm about to turbo my EG coupe, and i'm keeping it auto. I know the tranny is the limiting factor, but i'm planning on running a big ol' tranny cooler...

thanks for the pic! gives me some ideas.

how hard would it be to fit the IC and piping in a 92 civic coupe? is it that different?

i'm interested! how much for everything? pics?

good point, but again, it's just something i wanna do. that, and i'd have to pay someone else to do the swap and i don't have that much cash right now. i really want to do the work myself too, just to learn. that's why i wanna do it on the d first, to get experience so i don't have to learn...

i'm gonna try to stay around 200 whp on the D, since it's an automatic tranny. i know that's not ideal, but when i blow this setup up (cuz i know eventually something's gonna break) i'm just gonna swap in a b18 and GSR tranny and put the turbo on that!

i've heard lots of good things about the greddy kit, but i really wanted to build it myself, just for fun. can you post some pics of your setup? i'm trying to get ideas...

I'm thinking of going turbo, but I want to keep a/c and p/s. Is there a certain type of manifold I need, or can the turbo be mounted either way? Before you ask, I have searched, but there are very few threads with pics of such a setup on a D series.

thanks for the reply! the main reason i was interested in the mini-me head swap was to not have to take the whole engine out, as i don't have a hoist and i wanted to do all the work myself. if i was gonna swap engines, i'd just pony up and get a b18 and call it a day. i'll keep searching thru...

bump...

hey guys! i just bought my girlfriend's 93 civic dx. it's a really nice car, low miles, but the head gasket blew on it once before and her ex-bf fixed it. well, i don't think he did too good of a job, and it's ok because i'm gonna be doing a mini-me head swap to it soon and i can straighten...

also, which d16 head would be better for the swap - z6 or y8? i know that the swap will raise compression, which could make it harder to tune the turbo. i'm shooting for 180-200 whp, in a comfortable, daily driven, air conditioned car. it's hot as balls in new orleans in summer and i can't...

hey guys, i've owned many hondas and acuras before, but i'm new to civics... just got a 93 dx coupe with a d15b7. i'm thinking about doing the mini me vtec head swap and a small turbo. any suggestions on a turbo kit or what would i need to make one myself? i want to keep p/s and a/c.
