D16A6 / D16Y8 mini me article
Hey guys-
Well, first all I wanted to do was change the clutch. That turned into, "Why not just pull the motor?" I kind of got side tracked into this and some suspension work.
It's not quite done yet. It needs editing and finishing up. I tried to write it so that anyone can do it, I hope.
Any feedback?

all in all i think this is well done
some notes:
honda made the d15b a 150hp sohc engine with a vtec head and a 3 stage intake manifold that would be more akin to the sohc vtec "type r" than the d16y8...where the d16y8 head on the d16a6 is a regular "mini me" swap
the intake manifold works in tandem with VTEC but is not part of the the actual system...only the operation in the head suffices here

oops...my bad...didn't realize i typed in 150hp (it should be 130hp)
the d15b was a great engine making similar power the zc made but with sohc design and .1 less liter...reason being was that the d15b had a 3 stage vtec system that was staggered with its intake manifold (12 valve operation mode under lean with a more turbulent air delivery to maximize torque - a green light would actually show up on the dash, 2nd stage was from 3000-6000 rpm with 16 valve operation with less turbulence in air delivery, at 6000+ the 2nd lobe [3rd stage] kicks in and the air delivery is a straight shoot with no turbulence)
