need help with mini me
 

well i have a a a6 and i have a z6 and a d15vtec head which one is better
and what do i need to do to make the swap work anything special
let me know any info helps

Re: need help with mini me
 

im 99% sure there is no difference between the z6 and d15 vtec head and if there is it is the cam. unless of course its the daul stage d15 vtec head which would be baller... or lame.

Re: need help with mini me
 

D15 Vtec is 1.5l, Z6 is 1.6l. Diff is in the block not the head from what i remember but dont quote me on that.

Re: need help with mini me
 

so do all the water and oil holes from the block and head the same

Re: need help with mini me
 

yes its all the same

Re: need help with mini me
 

dont forget to remove the oil jet, look for write ups online. im sure you dont feel like taking the head back off after you get it all together.

Re: need help with mini me
 

well ive been looking for write ups but no luck where is the oil jet located and how do u remove it or if u can find the write ups it would help as well thanks all

Re: need help with mini me
 

The oil jet is inbetween and just right about cyl 2-3 Just take a screw and screw it into it and pull it out. Thats about all there is differnt than a regular head swap. Minus wiring up vtec. But IMO i wouldnt waste my time with this swap. Ive done it and noticed very little gain. But hell if you got the head already then gofor it

Oh and if you use the z6 head you need the z6 dizzy.

Re: need help with mini me
 

so that means i cant use the obd0 dizzy from my si right
in other words i have to change the car to obd1

Re: need help with mini me
 

you are correct. And im not sure what dizzy the d15 head uses. You could go with a y8 haed and stay odb0 but im not sure what you would do about vtec ingagement. Sorry im clueless on ECU'S What block will you be using?

Re: need help with mini me
 

judging by your avatar im guessing your car is turbo and hopefully running a chipped ecu. and your obd0 so possibly your running turboedit? TE has a 1 wire vtec setup. get the head on and have someone retune your ---- and add the 1 wire vtec stuff. also im not sure but you might be able to swap your dizzy guts with the d15 vtec one which im sure uses the same dizzy as the obd1 vtecs (z6) since their head is basically the same casting.

um so give me some more info so we can get something solid going here.

Re: need help with mini me
 

well i have a d15 block from a 92-95 civic
the head is from z6
i have the tried the obd0 dizzy and it fit but i havent tried to make is work yet
i have a a turbo on it not upgrades on the ecu yet i was getting the uberdata done on it
but i have all msd ignition components cams,gears,flywheel,intakemanifold,fuel rails and fuel pressure regulator
so i was thinking if i go vtec i would get more power since the z6 head has a stage 2 crower cam titanium valves and springs and ported
what do u guys think

Re: need help with mini me
 

well hmm, the obd0 dizzy should fit it but the wholes shouldnt line up? is this true?

also you should go vtec definately will get more power with what you have.

im assuming none of this is put together yet right? id say its probably more worth it to convert to obd1 so you dont have to worry about whats working and whats not. get yourself an obd1 distributor and conversion harness. ecu too. best way to make sure everything will be running up to spec.

Re: need help with mini me
 

If the odb0 dizzy fit than you don't have a z6 head. You have a y8 head.

Re: need help with mini me
 

well the head i got it off a z6 but i dont know if its from that car
well i just got a p28 ecu all im looking for now is the conerstion kit to make it obd1 after all
ill post pics on how its going
