i was running a y7/y8 mini me turbo. but it was OK then i put the y8 blovk abck toghter and now i got a whole y8 engine with a 14b turbo and its quick as shit. so maby its the y8 engine or maby its luck but i have shitty luck wiht thew y7/y8 mini me's but i hear that the b7/y8 mini mes are good. get a z6 intakemanifold and install on it. and gewt the d16a6 pistons for your build up. higher compresson and that engine will scream.

d15b7 rods = really weak....prolly 170-180whp is all you'll be able to squeeze on a good tune before they start bending and breaking. Im not positive but i dont think they make aftermarket b7 rods, if they do they are like atleast $600-$700....thought i read that somewhere but i cant remember for sure.

thanks for the link. i need to read into that site some more. but i doo have one question. if i'm using a 1.5 block and i want to use the 1.6 rods and pistons; i have to ofcoarse bore the block but what about the crank can the 1.5 crank work with the 1.6 rods. i know its a stupid question but i had to ask. and about the CR what would that be at. i need a clue so i know were i'm at for the boosted one. the all motor one i think i might do some actual math on that one and shove some b-block shit into it. just a thought.

i dont like the mini me at all!! this kid i know has one and got beatin by a 92 DX coupe he has intake and exhaust. the mini me was in a crx with headers, exhaust. intake, cam gear and a few more but cant remember. eather stick with nonvtec or get the full Y8 or Z6. for the n/a, non vtec with a cam is like vtec all the time

Vtec all the time... that would just be plain retarded. Vtec is a compromise between having a semi good bottom end power band and ridiculously strong top end. Without Vtec you can only have one or the other, so most Non-Vtec cams, are only good for Mid-range RPM power compared to Vtec.
