D16 "mini-me" swap, is it worth it???
The mini-me swap is the addition of VTEC to a standard Civic DX D16Y7 motor, right? if not, what is the correct term for what I'm describing, and is that conversion to adding VTEC to a D16Y7 DX motor with the money for it, and the effort? What parts are involved in this "swap", Y8 EX head, VTEC controller, Civic EX ECU, VTEC solanoid, and what else? Wouldn't I need the cams from off an EX as well, since mine wouldn't have the 2 different lobes? ALso about ho much does this conversion cost? If I remember reading right a while back, it's about $500 for it, right? Or am I way off base on that? Thanks for any info anyone can provide on this.
