heres the deal. i am doing a mini me swap in my 91 hatch. other than switching the heads out is there anything else that i need to do to allow the vtec head. like a new dizzy or something?

 

Wire car for VTEC
is it multi port already?
There is an oil jet you need to remove (put a screw in and rip it out)in the middle towards the back
VTEC ecu since you probably still obd-0 you can buy my jdm pr3 b16a ecu
I used a stock crx distributor and vtec engaged fine?

 

cool thanks....one other question. i plan on boosting it. would it be better to run boost on the mini me swap or just leave it sohc non-vtec.

 

mini-me on boost is flirting with disaster. I would just boost the nonvtec jam on like 6-7 pounds and call it a day...especially since junkyard kits are so easy on SOHC's

 

cool thnx....im just confused which is better now because i keep hearing different things on which motor i should use. i know sohc's arent the best for boost but i just cant find what makes one better or not.

 

who said SOHCs aren't good for boost?

but if it was me, i would just boost the non vtec and just swap in a vtec tranny. or possibly just swap to a full vtec SOHC motor & trans, and boost thet.

personally have never felt a mini me was anything more than just a waste of time and money.

but that is just my .02, also check out www.d-series.org

 

sohc's are fine for boost. I run 15psi on my stock sohc all day long

 

cool thnx...r u serious, u run 15 pounds on a stock sohc
