How To - Dual Carb VTEC Mini-Me

[91Hatch]

Just jizzed watchin that vid mate,nice!

Throttle cable will route under the cars and through the center just fine. Choke ones a little harder as the cables not as long.

If your clever, some new brackets could do the job

Cheers for insight I'll go ahead with throttle cable and ponder about the choke too and report back with any progress!

Hi, I'm newbie here, sorry for bringing this old topic up but I just wanna say thanks for this guide.

After reading this guide I finally done this mini-swap to my old 91 EF hatch with D13 stock engine, and turns it into D13Z6 with dual-carbs, in my country all of the EF hatch came with 1 type of engine and it's D13 block, and now.. yes it does work perfectly for daily driving and now it has an awesome acceleration when I floor it...

I use buddyclub v-con as guided, customize my stock distributor, using my stock D13 cam gear (cause the P08 head I bought doesn't came with it), use 104 tooth timing belt, and made a custom open air filter (so I can hear the vtec crossover when its engaged). I don't know how much I exactly gained in horsepower, but for 1.3L block, that was a huge gain, 0-100km/h 7-8 sec, and I've tested is top speed t with 4th gear at red line 6600 rpm and the speedometer was at 180km/h and it just went to 200km/h easily as I shifted it to 5th gear

So thank you very much Gizmo..

Best regards,

~papaemy~

PS: just 1 question, do you think this mini-me will also works for B21A1 (91 Prelude Si) with B16 or B18 vtec head? cause that could be my next project .. thank you

Edited: here is my D13Z6 Dual Carb



the picture was taken in Nov 2013, the car was sold in Feb 2014 due to irresistible offer from the buyer

whats the best gearbox to use with this swap?

Can i just use a D16z6 box? i have and auto gl at the moment and basically want it Manuel.

or will only 88-91 boxes work on this?

Thanks!

[EGb16Nick]

did you use the d14a1 gearbox? or have you converted to hydro? thanks

[Twamers]

People seem to say this won't work with the D13 bottom end is this correct?

Hi there great guide you've written there!

Just a couple things with regards to the pump what did you wire it into as I'm looking at doing this very soon on my sedan also on the old cam driven pump what do you do with the return from it?? Block it I gather
