I've heard various things about the performance of the Mini-Me engines. The other Hondadorks on Alternative Honda say that with the HF/DX swap: "You'll be smoking 99+ Si's no problem, be pulling on GSR's until the 100mph range and be a match for ludes until 120mph+" I don't know how accurate...

:lmao: True. But i do like the ones that showcase on JDMhondaparts.com from time to time. I'm a sucker for electron blue pearl paint :wub:

What engine are you talking about exactly? the D15B7 out of the DX? If so, building the B7 isn't as easy as building a Z6 but it can be done. The Z6 has more options cuz it's a 1.6L and there are just more parts in general for it cuz it's usually the only SOHC that has a chance of staying in the...

Look for Apexi WS exhaust knock-offs....or just baffle the old one <_<

the glowing gauges would do nothing for you. If it's like the CX cluster, it has speedo in the middle, water temp on the left and gas on the right. Putting the paste over gauges on, especially one that is a tach, has no purpose. You would be the same off putting a sticker of a tach on your dash...

dont' expect to pay more than $100 for the head, they are on like every damn honda civic between 88 and 95. the tranny can go anywhere between $100 and $300. i just picked up a 95 EX tranny for $300 shipped you shouldn't pay ANYTHING more than that! B)

Looking around at different cam/spring/retainer setups i will run on my D15Bvtec but wanna learn what all the "code" is about. I'm great at working on my civic but when it comes to blue-printing and precise engine work i'm sorta in the dark. I was wondering if someone could explain to me the...

matter of fact, i'm selling a 91 Si head for like $50 plus shipping, want to get it outta my garage <_<

ahhhh fooey! but then again i have been taking a liking to the new Si's the more i see them. Look really clean when done right and made all JDM. But i don't think they're very fast. Not sure. You'd probably have more fun tuning the CRX and it would be alot cheaper too. Parts for newer cars like...

those 8-valve heads suck! it's totally possible when you think about it, just compare the numbers. An 8-valve engine usually has around 65-70hp while a 16 valve engine of the same displacement will have around 100-110 hp. That's around 30-40 hp gain just from changing heads! Plus the HF's are...

should be in the back of any Helms or any other type of automotive manual for the civic. looks confusing at first but then you get it. what are you trying to wire up?

okey dokey, VTEC wire first. The VTEC solenoid itself will have one thick black wire coming off of it. Wire this fatty black one, and t-tap it into the ecu pin at A4. The VTEC oil pressure sensor will be a green plug, rounded and near the solenoid, and have two wires coming off of this one. A...

I'm using Dupli-Color brand primer on my hatch and i looks really good. The fan nozzle is awesome to use and makes painting really easy too. The only bad part is that you'd have to use some kind of rust-proof paint on any rust spots, cuz the one i have (where the back quarter panel meets the...

didn't know exactly where to post this so i thought this would be a good spot. Found a good site that compares different SOHC cams, OEM and Aftermarket. Thought i would share. Have fun. HADA motorsport

what's up with all these people asking about EK conversions? if you want an EK front end, BUY AN EK! The only cars that i think should be allowed to have conversions on them are those that are different than USDM, ie USDM type-r vs JDM type-r and the silvias. These cars were meant to have...

i found the engine on eBay, i could refer you to this guy though, he supplies engines on the side and is a really cool, honest guy. He doesnt do pick up though, cuz most people get to his place and see the valve cover has a chip in it and say they don't want it anymore. Makes sense if you were...

engine pulls very hard, for an SOHC, and unlike the non-vtec D15B's the power curve just keeps going with VTEC there. I highly recommend this swap, it was actually pretty easy to do (with a few minor headaches), and you get to retain alot of your old stuff. The money you save on axles and engine...

I'm guessing you're asking about the JDM D15B Vtec engine. It all depends on your budget like you said, more cash, more hp. I would go with: ZEX 53900 cam (real cheap @ $280 and 14hp!) High Compression head gasket ($100 tops) Skunk2 Intake manifold ($280 and around 10hp) DC header (price...

To my knowledge they are the exact same head (honda dealer lead). The JDM D15B is a hybrid engine. They used the Z6 head and the bottom end from a VX engine and made the JDM engine.

If i had the cash i would go with the JDM ITR front end for sure. Not sure what it requires, but it was in an issue of SuperStreet Mag. Looked mean as hell and actually flowed with the car very well, if you saw the car directly head on you would think it was an ITR. The old school teg headlights...
