what are some prices that i would expect at a junk yard for a vtec head to make a mini me and do i need to change the wiring harness and ecu

 

the yard I go to charges 300$ for any motor they have, and $150 for any core (not running) motor, I wouldnt pay more than $100 for a junkyard head.

 

Personally, I'd just do the Z6 swap, and not deal with the mini-me bullshit.

 

AAAAAAH, ----, I lost like 100 posts when the server went down, looks like 65 posts from now I get to make another 1000 posts thread.

 

the only reason y i wanna do it cuz of the v-tec im having my d16a6 block bor 40 over and new piston and rods so the motor is gonna be back down to 0 miles on it.. in december im gonna turbo it and i just wanted to no if its worth doing the mini me if im gonna end up turboing it soon

 

werd. i did the mini me. and now am swapping a whole z6 in to boost. mini me gets boring real quick.

 

you're not gonna experience that much of a difference. Mini-Me and a stock Z6 is gonna almost be the same thing.


this vtec thing is all preference. Plenty of people turbo their mini me's. Just because you do a mini me, doesn't mean you can't boost it in dec. If you got time to kill and really want vtec, do it. I'm someone that doesn't care to much for vtec, but wouldn't mind it at the same time.

 

Murdizzle is right on the money with that statement. Our MiniMe project is almost indistinguishable from the original VTEC motor. We did a A6/Y8/Vitara/TT Rod motor. And for the hassles with PM6 / VTEC, and getting the belt right, it just wasn't worth it. Next time we'll do the whole swap with a stock motor, and put our effort into a better turbo system and tuning.

ya id have to say that answers my question.. im not gonna do it since it seems like to much of a hassle just to get vtec

 

look, the boosy is the ----, 10psi on a d is where its at, dont ---- with the mini me bullshit, spend the 100 dollers and get som vitaras then buy some rods and boost that ---- to 20 psi where it should be. mini ,e bull ----, na aint ---- hit the boost and drive it like u stole it
