In this video, we start the process of assembling a mini-me vtec build Honda engine. the bottom end is from a D15Z4 non-vtec and the cylinder head is a P08 SOHC vtec head from a D16Z6.
We clean all the bolts and bolt holes, fit the crank and girdle, gap the rings for boost and fit the water pump/tensioner pulley.

Mini-me (Frankenstein for Bseries) build is when you fit a vtec head on a non-vtec block to increase performance and add vtec to an engine that originally did not have vtec. this use to be a common build back in the mid-2000s before B Series engines became more affordable.
The plan for this engine is to be boosted with the aim of about 220whp/160wkw using all stock and spare shop parts.

Hi, the D-Series stock can be a bit gutless from factory, but boosted they can make 200-220whp on a stock motor fairly easy. 350hp for you get forged rods, pistons and ARP hardware. some guys making over 500hp but that becomes real expensive quickly. a B, H or K series is better but Dseries is by far the cheapest power up to the 350hp mark.

@RisingBoostYT Жыл бұрын

Hi Solemn, yes the vtec should be noticeable and sounds good, the A7 has a high comp piston and the Z6 has a high comp head so that combo is going to bump the compression quite a bit, use the online tool to calculate the compression ratio before you try it. It could just go to high. Only way to find the sohc vyec head is to check FB marketplace every day, also join the local Honda groups on FB, that's how I found mine.

Just wondering. Is there any advantage to doing a mini-me using a D15Z4 with a D16Z6? Or is it just for fun? I like that your goal is 220 WHP. Just wondering if you can do the same thing with just a D16Z6 Engine. I am sure you can but is there some kind of advantage doing it with the D15Z4? I have a D15B7 Engine. Was wondering if I could do that with my engine. Kind of hoping the Bottom half of my D15B7 is the same as the D15Z4. Or if I should just get a D16Z6 if I can find it! Thanks for any input!

@RisingBoostYT 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Mike, the D15B7 will give you slightly higher compression ratio because of the B7 pistons. NA I dont belive a D15vtec will make any more power because of the 100cc loss over the D16Z6. In my case a turbo D15Z4 can make 220whp without vtec. I did the swop because I had the head and SOCH Vtec heads are rare, so it is a interesting swop. But for best results stick to a D16 bottom and vtec if you going NA or aiming for high boosted power.

Hi Kyle, there is a few different types of vtec, avoid the vtec-e heads, they are for economy and have much smaller intake values and valve springs, also vtec-e makes the car a 12valve by disabling 1 intake valves so there is no performance gains, just economy. The performance vtec heads are very good, bigger intake runners. For boost you can use a non-vtec head, it will work just fine, performance vtec is a bit better. Check your engine code, if you have a performance vtec motor leave it as is, if its vtec-e swop on any head that is not vtec-e

Try to get the Z6 (PO8) intake manifold, the B7 has smaller runners. Also your stock ECU can't run the vtec so you may need to get a chipped or D16Z6 ECU. there may be a few more small things, but you can definitely swop a vtec head onto your B7.

Hi EJP it may not work because the D15 crank has a shorter stroke, meaning the D16 rods and crank combo could push the piston topss out of the block deck. Some D15B vtec cranks have the same big end journal size as a D16. So the D15 crank could work with D16 rods but the pistons may still poke out the deck a bit.

The JDM D15B has a D15 crank with D16 size journals and D16 rods, but the block has a lower deck hight than the D16 so it uses special pistons (not easy to find) use the zeal auto works compression calculator tool online as it will tell you the piston to dech hight for the combination you want to use.

Hi Merk, yeah it was not fun, I actually sorted out the bolts by size, the bigger bolts are fairly easy to find where they go, but for the smaller bolts I had to use a vernier to measure the hole depth before taking a bolt. lucky most of the small bolts were only 3 different lengths, with some exceptions of course, I won't recommend my method though, rather bag and tag.

Hey. I have a D15Z6 vtec motor in mine. It only produces 114 hp. Do you have any recommendations to what I could do to it? Thanks

@RisingBoostYT 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Joakim, the D15z6 is a vtec-e motor, this is sadly not good for power as the vtec-e is economy orientated, disabling 1 intake valve to increase fuel economy. The biggest mod you can do is to swop the cylinder head to a non vtec or a p08/p2j vtec head. Get a p08 or p2p intake and a exhaust from the D16A6 EG as it is a 4-2-1. Other mods like a B20 throttle body can also help. Keep in mind this may require some changes to the wiring and ecu. Best way may be to just swop in a D16Z6 or D16Y8. They are factory vtec motors.

@RisingBoostYT 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Senhor, if you bore 0.5mm oversize you must get matching 0.5mm oversize pistons. my block had damage on the sleeves so I had to get it bored and pistons is a must, the same pistons will not work. pistons is not so expensive but stock honda pistons gets pressed onto the rods so engineering shop must fit the pistons for you. unless you buy aftermarket pistons and rods. boosting will work, similar to my setup but keep the power to 200whp if you boost on stock internals. then you should be good. rods and head studs fail first on these motors after about 230whp

can you give me a list for all parts for overhaul im trying to fix my d15 with 300k km. want to change everything from engine rebuilding. but im not familiar with parts from small details to big details

@RisingBoostYT Ай бұрын

Hi, what is wrong with the engine? smoke? blow-by? a very basic rebuild is new bearings (main/big-end/thrust), new piston rings and valve stem seals. also get a full gasket set so you can replace all the seals. that is a minimum, however there is a lot more, valve guides and valve seats (new valves if needed), Sleeve wear - sleeves bore oversize and new oversize pistons. cam and crank polishing, (cut if needed). new water and oil pump. it all depends on how worn out the engine is. normally a machine shop can measure clearances and tell you what is necessary to replace and what not. 300000 kms is alot but these motors can handle it. I have a 305000kms k24 motor that still runs like a dream, no smoke and not a single leak.

Hi Tauriq, it will fit, however you will need to use the B3 head studs and dizzy, you can jerryrig the a9 dizzy to fit.
