price aint bad.. id offer him $275.. keep in mind u will need to do the mpfi conversion.. the motor is ob1 and has a hydro transmission, do u wanna convert to ob1 or just use a 88-91 dizzy and do uh little wiring? the motor itself aint bad tho.. 102hp and with the z6 head u will squeeze about 118hp. my opinion tho id try and find a half decent a6 and do the mini me. good luck

i'd rather for out an extra 250 bucks and get a jdm d15 vtec.

i def agree but then theres shipping and all that bullshit. he will see better performance with d15 vtec too. plus its more reliable since the head n block are mated for one another vs mini me. but if he's looking for a quick fix.. he might find a good ole a6 local

yeah I was just about to say an a6 would be great too. i loved both of mine. i never felt the need to do a minime for like a 10 hp increase.

yeah thats true with the 10hp shit. but if its done right and timing is set and vtec is at a good engagement it is alright. i raced several a6's z6 deli's and civi's and some y8's with the same mods as me and gave it to um. but then that might of just been driver skills :lol2: plus after installing a clutch in my 88 si tranny.. i lay 2 tracks on any surface and any1 that drives down my alley will see that. plus the head and dc header was $100 for both fuck why not :)

whats an a6? ... like what does it come in? lol and what about the usdm 89 integra motors i know they dnt have a lot of hp but with i/h/e and w/e is out there for them would it be quick?

An a6 is a d16a6 from a 88-91 Civic/CRX Si (or Civic EX). The 89 Integra was a twin cam that looked like a DOHC ZC but had about the same hp as an a6. The a6 has more support so it's a more logical choice... I'm pretty certain my a6 is pushing more than 108hp... LOL.

If your gonna do a Mini me use a D16 block. we tried twice to do the mini me on a 15 and every time pistons Hit valves... did it on a 1.6... no problems.
