D16y8 Head
-
Ok I'm doing a mini me swap on my Crx Si engine so I will need the folowing parts. I would like to buy them in town to save on shipping costs. BTW my engine is a d16a6 and after the mini me swap I'm going to start collecting parts to boost it.
If you have any suggestions or advice about me boosting my d16a6 please feel free to pm me!

D16z6 Head- Need to be in good condition.
D16z6 Vtec solenoid
92-95 Civic Si/Ex Fuel Pressure RegulatorOr
D16y8 Head
D16y8 Vtec solenoid -
are you converting it to OBDII or staying OBD0?
btw, you should sell me your old dizzy
-
from what i read quickly you shouldn't need a new dizzy.
http://crx.honda-perf.org/articles/z6swap/z6swap.htmlthat article is for a z6 head, but basically the same;they don't mention a dizzy swap in there
what do you plan to use for engaging vtec?
also, from what i've read somewhere, i heard vtec doesn't respond well to boost.
it may be worth checking that out before doing the mini-me -
Thats a lot of good information, for some reason some one told me that the z6 head would not bolt up to my a6 block.
I was planing on using a tach with a shift light for engaging vtec, or a cheeper method.
I have always been told vtec is just fine for boost, but its the compression that you have to watch out for.
My compression is 9.1.1. and this will bring it down to 8.1.1. ( If I did my math right ) Perfect for boost. -
http://www.knology.net/~jediklc/D.htm compression calculator and loads of other info (i think your math is off also)
the shift light idea will work and is probably around the cheapest.
also, hondaswap.com has alot of info if you haven't found it yet

np; i've spent many hours trying to figure out how to get more power out of my d-series; i'm too cheap to buy a swap :).
i'm also going to turbo my car, eventually :). first in line is the head gasket and MPFI swap. -
actually i sold the coupe back in oct. and picked up an 88 civic sedan for $50.
hope to put a junkyard turbo setup on it soon, i have pretty much everything except a dizzy, intake mani, BOV, and other little things. -
Ahh So are you planing making a log manifold out of a cx header? I'm going to be doing things like that to save money on my turbo upgrade.
$50 bucks is a damn good price for that car, 4 doors are cool looking. Wait is it burgundy colored and you got it off of 10th street fargo? If so its the car I planed on picking it up but some one nabbed it two or three days ago.

nah, i'm in minot and i bought mine from a guy here; it is burgandy though
i'll be using the hf manifold and i'm not sure what turbo yet, i actually have 5 right now
there was a junkyard closing up here and me and a friend were allowed in and pulled turbos off everything we could. -

Really! So do you want to help a brother out and let go of one? -
i'll be selling at least 2 of them soon, i just need to research and see which ones i want for my car and a friend's car.
