Re: passenger brake doesn't work! Help please!
Here's something I've started to research:
Taking into account that an '88-'91 D15 head will fit on an '84-'87 d15/EW block with very little modification, and also knowing that you can put a '91+ D15 V-TEC head on and '88-'91 block (called a mini-me swap). It seems entirely possible that someone could put a '91+ d15 V-TEC head on an '84-'87 D15/EW. The ECU would have to be swapped along with the rest of the electrical, but it seems that it could be done with relative ease.
I'm also wondering if the same V-TEC head will fit on an '84-'87 Civic wagon AWD block. This way the '86-'89 Integra transmission could be used with this mini-mini-me swap. The benefit of the Teggy trans is that it is geared better and has equal length CV shafts which eliminates torque steer. The AWD motor is the only SOHC D-series motor that will accept the Teggy trans. The block can also be bored to fit D16 pistons. This would essentially be a SOHC D16 V-TEC W/a better transmission!
I'm thinking about ditching my D16A1 swap and going this route. I just need to figure out the head compatability issue.
