im planning on doing a min-me swap on my d15b8 (i know people say its not possible because of the 8 valve but i know a number of people who have done them) anyway i need some facts i m putting a y8 head on it and i need to know what :head gaset to use
:timing belt to use
:dist. to use

thanks

 

stock timing belt (the B im pretty sure and for the dizzy you want to use one from the years your car was made, 92-95 or 96-00 SOHC VTEC, so a Z6 or Y8...

 

d15b8's have 16 valve reliefs.. (even though its a 8 valve engine)

Run the VX timing belt, with (I'm pretty sure an obd2 y8 dizzy will work with an obd1 plug)

ive heard that all of the stock d15b8 parts can be used timingbelt dizzy etc.... is that true what would go wrong if i did??

 

Jeff just said you could...

 

you can use your dizzy, but if its a y8 head, I dont think its going to "BOLT" up, you will have to modify one of the legs on the dizzy to get it to bolt down. The Y8 and Z6 dizzys mount differently.

As far as timing belt, I'm pretty sure you have to use the VX T-belt, (that is what I used on a D15b2) but at the same Time I have been seeing guys use pretty odd timing belts with Mini-me's.

I'm not sure, but if the D15b8 uses 107 tooth belt, Pretty sure you will need the 103 tooth vx belt.. Alot of people have. But since your car is an EG, I think it has 104 teeth, so it would be ok. Maybe.. Bolt it on and see if you can get it on.
