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]

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

 

[JDMB20Coupe]

its a vtec head.

 

[awptickes]

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]

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

 

[JDMB20Coupe]

bump

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]

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]

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

 

[JDMB20Coupe]

ill have about a grand in it when im done.

 

[JDMB20Coupe]

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

 

[JDMB20Coupe]

ok thanks

 

[97hatch]

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

 

[97hatch]

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

 

[97hatch]

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]

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
