My first DIY Mini-Me swap...(PICS)
First time DIY mini-me swap to my B7 engine.
Details:
B7 block stock about 230,000 km
Z6 head stock about 240,000 km
Y8 headgasket (middle past removed to increase CR)
HX NGK spark plugs (more colder)
NGK spak plug wires
CAI
Special thanks to Manila Auto Repair at 29 Milford and Dean for the help and getting some of the parts for my swap.
Here are the pix:
This is very scary to see for me cuz it was my first time doing a major surgery to my luvly car.]
Now, heres the almost done project.
Before:
After:

Now the car is running good and felt a big difference compare to my old non-vtec B7. It was a good experience and it was a easy project for the first timer like me. Future plan, turbo it till it gives up then get a Z6 then turbo it. I will be installing the turbo so wish me good luck guys.

actually i did took it out cuz i had a step-by-step "how-to"printed with pictures so it made it so easy for me. I was alone when i did this and so excited to finish so i didn't get a lot of pictures while i was in the process. Anyway, thanks a lot for the comments guys.
DOCH with boost is my future!! Pssssssstt....
