Im just wondering what exactly is a mini-me? i hear it alot and im not really sure what kinda engine this is

Also is it better then a Zc? cuz i was thinkin of doing a zc swap because this would be my first swap and i was looking for sumthing easy, but im not exactly sure if i want zc or not and i hear bout the mini-me and im just wondering what it really is

 

basically it's in relationship to d-series motors. a vtec head on a non vtec bottom end.

there are some things you need to take in consideration.
older d-series motors will have higher compression.
the swap won't work with 8 valve motors, unless you change to 16 valve pistons, due to the valve reliefs on the pistons.

you should do some research and read the old posts about it. there are many sites that have step by step instructions.

 

hmm

muwahaha but anyway yeah. Vtec head on a non vtec block... B7 block with Y8 or z6 head...a6 block with z6 or y8 head. Y7 block with y8 or z6 head... etc etc You get vtec and a little higher compression if you use the thinner head gasket of course

 

maybe someone should make a sticky about mini-mes

 

Do you have to get different pistons when you put the Z6 on the B7 block? Which pistons do you use?

 

You use whatever is in the block. Like if it's a b7/z6 mini me. You use the b7 bottom end (pistons/rods/etc)
