I have a 96 jdm d15 vtec motor in my car now. I just got a 00 y7 engine. I want to do a mini me but was told that i need an oil line to complete this swap. I wanted to know is this true and where can i buy an oilline and for how much. Also is that all i'll need to do this swap?

Whoever told you that is smoking crack. You dont need a oil line install for a mini-me.

If the y7 has a oil orifice on the face of the block it will need to be removed.

you dont. just remove the oil jet thats in the block if it has one. the oil line is for a b-series ls/vtec.

Hey thanks for the advice. So it's a simple swap right just changing the heads. And that oil orifice you mention where is that located?

Wait a minute i know the oillines is for b series but this guy kept tellin me that the mini me gets an oilline. So that's why i'm asking.

just keep the d15 vtec in there. thats a good engine, just rock it til the wheels fall off.

i thought about keeping it but there's not much options when it comes to upgrading that engine. I can't get rods for this engine like i could a d16, plus i got the d16 with tranny PRETTY cheap. Thanks for the info.

Isn't the mini me process putting a vtec head on a D block? You are starting with a vtec d15.. how is installing a d16y7 considered a mini me swap?

Sorry but I'm just used to the d16a6 plus d16z6 combo being called a traditional "mini me"
