putting a d16 head on a d15

[cactusEG]

Will a d16 head off of a 98 civic ex fit a d15 block off of 95 civic dx ? and what would it take ? can i use the tranny off the d16 and wire harness and what about timeing ? i think mad mike told me it was called a mini me swap ? any other suggestions will be helpfull (that is'nt shit talking)

[cactusEG]

any one ??

Bump for some help for a friend.

Yes cactus it will fit.

[Mad Mike]

see I told you I thought it would work. Just wasn't sure on the diff. years.

yeap its a mini-me swap. its when you pair a non-vtak block with a d-series vtak head. and when u do this, you get mad vtak, but also some HP and slightly higher compression.

nothing too crazy, pretty straightforward bolt on HP swap. not worth the trouble for the HP gains.

hp swap ??????? ha ... jus get a A6 1.6L block .. mate it with a Z6 head .. and boom full 1.6 liter swap FTW .. mini me swap FTL!

lol yeah, if you get a a6 you'll have higher displacement but when you do the mini me swap you do get a noticeable change in power. don't forget to take off your oil control jet on your block when you do it. oh and yeah, it would be a good idea to use that EX tranny because its shorter and it'll make you feel wayyyyy faster than a DX tranny...

please do a 1.6 L mini me .. if ya do one .. a 1.5 L Block is such a p.o.s !!!!! ... no replacement for displacement ..( Except turbo on honda )... lol .

I say you fix the Y8 up and just swap the whole thing in rether than the head and the tranny.

Ditto, since you're getting it for so cheap you might as well. But its your ride...you choose.

oh I see, well pick you up a cheap d16a6 to go with it or something, i head about this thing where you can take the d17 internals and put it inside a d16a6 and that shit is high compression and a bigger bore and displacement. Heard it's bad ass...

[EmminoDaGreat]

I would use a z6 head before i got a y8

I've never looked into but what the difference besides one being obd1 and the other obd2?

[JDM onlyy]

here ya go, he wants 200 for head and block but you only need block..

but thing is, you got to do a lil modification to the d16a6 to make the crank work..
