my brother just got a 2000 hatch CX and i happed to have a y8 head,
im thinking about doing the mini me swap, and than put on a HMT 42/48 saab turbo.

do you guys think i should just put the hmt on or do the mini me and then put the hmt on...?

i aslo have a z6 tranny( 92-95 si ) will this tranny fitt on the 2000 cx motor?

are there any parts from the 92-95 civic that i need for the tranny swap?

OR should i stick w/ my 2000 cx tranny?

and last question would you guys recommend any arp head studs for this mini me sweap y7 y8
and which arp head stude do i get?

thanks for any help HMT.com

 

definetely do the mini-me and turbo if you can. at least swap the intake manis. that cx intake mani sucks! (my dx sucked too, thats why im in the process of swappin right now)

as for the tranny, dont know if it is compatable.

and get some arp headstuds for the y8 motor if you are dropping in the y8 motor. you could easily find them on ebay, or on lots of sites.

yes, you might aswell do them at the same time.

 

mini me and turbo

idk about the tranny but i do know that my d15b7 tranny wouldnt bolt up on my d16y7

 

dont know what you're smoking, because my b7 tranny did.
now i've got a z6 on there, it bolts up too.

 

the housings were completely different between my b7 and y7....*shruggs* iunno...

 

b7 tranny can replace a y7..
