Perhaps a B16 swap would be more efficient for you?

Thing to consider. The civic 4spd is the STD model. It has an 8 valve head. Honda has made some 8 valve heads over the years the crx hf, civic STD and the civic cx. Some of these 8 valve blocks have pistons with only 8 valve reliefs. Some have the same pistons as the 16 valve dx heads. It realy just depends on the year. If you have a block with only 8 valve reliefs then you can't swap a 16 valve head on because the valves will smack the pistons. Just something you may want to look into.

Also I'm not personally a believer in the mini me swap so I'd either save up for a b16a or get a complete d16z6/y8 motor and wire the car up to obd1 so you can run the right ecu (P28) and distributor.

its a 16 valve head its basically the dx but 4 speed 1.5

do what you can to get a "B" series motor into it, you will get quickly bored with a mini-me

Going from dual point to multi is pain but have seen it done. If going mini me swap. Good get everything and don't cut coners. Don't spend money on a b-series go turbo with extra money. Much fast in the end? Besides You could get a cam and ported head and make 160 whp na
