Mini-me (Frankenstein for B-series) 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 used 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.

Evryone thinks these cars are for rivers but nah these are really gud cars with really gud engines and for real men keep up the work m8.
yeah the engines are pretty good, even the economy motors can make decent power stock boosted.
I’m currently working on rebuilding a B16A but I still find this informational and entertaining. Thanks! Subscribed. I like your accent btw.
Hi Scott, awesome! B16A is great motors, I will also soon work on some Bseries stuff, B18 with B16 Head. got the opportunity to get a civic with a B20v and a B18 motor all for a trade. glad you like it and found it entertaining! I do still make rookie mistakes but I can confirm the motor runs just fine and it will be going to the dyno soon. you can send me some pics of your build on insta if you want, would like to see.
I come upon this video after not being able to sell 2 d15s and sent them to recycling a week prior... I made 23 dollars for the scrap... haven't done a d15 build in about 5 years.
I will be trying to follow this build. Thanks for your passion, hondas are my favorite. My current FK8 isn't quite to the point of needing a full build, but someday, lol.
Hi Bro, yeah building Dseries is fun in terms of how cheap and easy to find everything is. and they can make some decent power stock, not enough to compete with the FK8 though. I have a CL9 with a K24, however they are not cheap to make power and can bankrupt me if I blow it up.
Great and amazing
Quality work and video! A new subscriber here. I will start assembling my D15B2 this weekend. I got the block and head back from the machine shop. I’ll be watching your video as a guide as I do it. Thank you!
Awesome bro! Thanks for watching, remember your torque specs and sequence, try get hold of a owners manual, they are a huge help also. Goodluck with the build, hope she is up and ripping soon!
@@RisingBoostYT I finally got the car back on the road. Your video helped a lot bro. Now I might even do the mini me next.
Hey your videos are definitely awesome!! I'm trying to rebuild a d16y5 with d16y8 head then turbo. I've never done this before and I'm learning all I can before I attempt to pull my engine. Thanks for the help
Hi, I don't know the Y5 motor, but it is a vtec-e, meaning it already have a P2J cylinder head, exact same cast as a Y8 head, (some say you can just swop out the cam+rockers to make a vtec-e to normal vtec) this is good because it will be a easy straight fit bolt on, "no mods needed" apart from the ecu as a vtec-e ecu triggers vtec at a different rpm, also it works a bit different so you will need some form of tunable ECU. here is some things to keep in mind, make sure the block does not have weird hi-comp pistons (it should not). make sure the head you are using has the big intake ports and thick valve springs (never use a PO7 head), get head studs if you can, Dseries love to lift heads under boost. don't run aggressive timing under boost. get 7 heat range spark plugs. don't make more than 220whp and you should be just fine.
Cant forget the time i won by a bus lenght to my best friend on my mini-me turbo (he had a golf gti),guess he waited his whole life to lose to a d series cause he just shouted to me the following: YOU GAVE ME THE D!
Hi Bro, Haha that's actually very funny. but yeah stock D series motors can make very good power boosted, considering they are economy motors originally.
Nice color scheme.
hi, Glad you like it!
Jesus, you really know how to build perfect engine. Really pleasure to watch
Hi Bro, thanks! glad you enjoyed the content!
funny we are doing the same thing pretty much with the same power goal excited to see how yours turns out
Hi Sevs. Awesome, good luck with the build! mine has not gone back to the dyno yet, but will soon. let me know how your build goes.
Thanks for the video mate
Actually building mine myself thanks to you🏁🔥
Hi bro, awesome! Just remember torque specs and sequences, also it's a good idea to check bearing clearances, even though I did not do it.
Gained a new sub!!!! Love the passion, I’m about to start my own project with my d16y7 ek hatch this summer... thanks for the vids man!!
Thanks for the sub! best of luck with the project Ernesto!!
Let me know how it goes brother I have a y7 too!🔥
Your build is looking fantastic
Hi Jim, thanks for the support !!
wow!!! really thanks for the vid. hope to build D series very soon and make this as my guide! Allen key for the win!!!
Hi No Limit, Awesome! best of luck. tough little engines these!
Clean work men..good job!!
Hi ADam, thanks for the support!!
Awesome!
Glad you think so!
That is a good way to make an allen Key.
Hi, thanks for the support! Yeah, been running it with the key like that for a few weeks now and no issues at all.
The other mount is for a B series, the hole in the side is for the power steering pump bracket to bolt up to, I ran into the same problem today but the opposite way around, b series came out of ef and went into an eg but discovered the issue with the mount when fitting power steering pump bracket
Hi Bro, well spotted. yeah it's possible I did see se Bseries connect to the mount also but EK Dseries does not.
@@RisingBoostYT yeah man I think it’s just a difference in the b and d series mounts, the information on the key way was very interesting because I had to change the distributor and when timing it the crank pulley TDC mark was not actually TDC it was about 20 degrees after in relation to the the piston actually being at TDC so the pulley seems to be in the wrong position which would make sense if the keyways can give trouble, keep up the good work man
@@sleepwalker8600 Awesome Bro, glad it was helpful! yeah the bolt could hold the pully in place without a key but yes it could have moved the pully out of position during fitment.
I can say everyone is wrong I build my CRX with with a d15b2 block with a po8 -3 head VTEC but not VTEC what I did I put a Y8 head gasket drop the head with a 272 Delta cam and bolt in the manifold with the pmg-fi system duel point and I put the d15b2 distributor with couple adjustments and bingo and the duel point always kp my engine with the right amount of gas I put her to 7200 rpm with not problem at all she is peppy like hell sounds like a muscle car the cam sound beautiful tuff and she fly like she was stolen she pull hard from 2500 rpm to 7200 rpm and fast she have 10 pound flywheel and stage 2 clutch no ECM problem or all that sensors crap and rewiring crap plus the VTEC around here they only see her rear lights because she really run like hell to fast for what it is and with a pmg-fi duel point system better than a Weber in reality people are wrong in a lots of things logic is reality amigo gd job take care
Hi Bro, awesome, interesting combo of parts, glad it runs strong!
@@RisingBoostYT hi bro it run peppy and strong what happened is that the duel point manifold segundary runners are shorter than primary gd for mid rpm up that what were made for and remember the pmg-fi system duel point is like a Weber with out the bowl or float meaning gas run straight through with the sensors air and gas demand gd to 7200 rpm no bad at all I play with the obdo distributor and made it fit and work gd .Now for more power and easy system can used a 4 barrel EFI system carb change the spring and retainers and I can say will be a devil on wheels jjjj 😁 I imagine never see it happen I wonder jjjj junkyards parts all motor no VTEC or turbo I bet you will run nice and will sound beautiful and in a 1600 to 1700 pound civic 3 door or CRX will be something special I like my set up but I wonder jjjjj CCR born in the byouooooo amigo jjjj
@@RisingBoostYT bro run like hell now on a 32/36 Weber carb from Spain love it sound a lot stronger and pull hard peppy like hell wow bro this is what I'm talking about a d15b2 that rumble jjjjj and sounds like a cobra jjjj old school style all that ECM crap and fuel injector system that what it is a oriental dream USA all day long born in the bayouuuu bro take care
Good jop bro
did i miss you doing valve lash???
Hi bro, yeah I don't show it in detail but you can see me do it right at the end of part 2
Hey where’d you get that clear cam housing?? So cool
Hi Lowbvll, I got the clear cam cover on Amazon for $19 - amzn.to/3PNLCaR
@@RisingBoostYT thank you soo much! I have a d15b vtec 🔥🔥🔥
@@lowbvll8969 awesome bro, the D15B vtec is the highest HP Dseries motors stock.
@@RisingBoostYT WAIT ITS ON AMAZON!?!?!? I COULDNT FIND IT!!! ORDERED!!
hi good day mate love the video thanks so much jus a quick question what is the torque specs for the head gasket bolts on this engine ???
Hi Bro, it depends on the motor but here they are - A6 motor - 22ft lbs - 48ft lbs \ Z6 motor - 22ft lbs - 53ft lbs \ Y8 motor 15ft lbs - 36ft lbs - 49ft lbs - 49ft lbs. check the video description, there is a link to a manual that can guide you if needed.
@@RisingBoostYT thank you so much
Bonjour on voit sur la vidéo que vous avez mise une poulie réglable a combien de degrés l'avez vous réglez vous en parlez pas sur cette belle vidéo merci
Bonjour, dans mon cas pour amener la came à 0 degré, j'ai dû avancer la came de 2,5 degrés. car j'ai un moteur D15 avec une culasse D16 vtec. mais cela peut être différent selon votre configuration
@@RisingBoostYT merci beaucoup j'ai exactement la même config que vous merci de votre réponse et bravo pour ces vidéo
Need a new Woodruff key for the crankshaft pulley the fix the slack it gets worn
Lol didnt watch it all before I commented hahaha good job man
Hi Vincent, no problem, at least I now know the correct name for it. on the crank pulley for the cam belt the key is actually built-in, so I will likely have to replace the pulley. however I am holding thumbs and betting on the 155nm crank bolt to hold everything in place for me.
I'll say it "Bitch Pin!" 😅🤣😂
Haha yeah that... even worse I forgot to put it back in before putting the trans back in the car 🙃
Where did you find the Skunk2 valve cover bolt kit, I only see it for B and K series or will the B series work?
Hi Pete, I found it on Aliexpress only, it was not listed as skunk2 and I'm not sure of it is still available. You should be able to fine the PW JDM ones, the Bseries will not work, it has to be for D16.
You got a spare timing lower cover?? My timing belt broke and destroyed it xD
Hi Roxas, sadly no, my extra one has broken tabs on the back side making it useless as it must sit in the correct place in order for the timing marker to be in the correct spot. I see you found one on amazon, just make sure it is correct, the EF/EG motor has a slightly different one as the EK has the dipstick tube attaching to the cover and the older one does not.
@@RisingBoostYT im sad... you shoulda seen the aftermath! Had to replace the crank sensor too
Does that clear cam cover fit a d16y8 looks amazing
Hi Edgardo, yes, it fits all Dseries with the plug leads go in the front of the valve cover like the Y8. not sure about the D17 00+ motors and it does not fit the EG motors like the A6 - ebay.us/K9u9cn
Hey there! Where did you get or order your head cover bolts from?
Hi, sorry looks like the comments gets removed if I include a link, but I got them om Aliexpress, ebay also sells a similar product.
Aku punya eg d15b pulley terbang.. habis crankshaft key hancur..kena overhaul
Hi Seorang, common problem if bolt comes loose, expensive to repair, we normally replace as the Dseries parts are affordable.
Hi i'm planning to buy a d16y5 car for my first honda, in my country we only get the d16y5 for the civic ek sedan, i heard the vtec e is not really good for performance. I was rhinking of swapping in a d15b head from a honda city type z, will it fit? I heard they have the same bore size
Hi, Yes the head will fit. some vtec-e motors have the exact same P2J cylinder head cast, meaning if you can find a Y8 head "valve train" you could just swop that over and have a normal vtec head. the P07 heads have a small valve/runner eco cast and cant make much power. just check your compression ratio to be sure it won't be too high or to low. (online tool available)
@@RisingBoostYT i dont think we get the y8 here, which cars do they come from? Im very novice to the honda world, sorry 😅
@@niceperson6084 the Y8 is from the USDM D16Y8, but any of the sohc vtec heads will work. The jdm D15b motors come with both versions of the sohc vtec heads. P08 head code from a D16Z6 or a P2J head code from a D16Y8. But any of the heads will fit your block.
Quick question what ecu do u run? Or any other upgrades such as fuel injectors?
Hi Luis, I have a walbro 255 pump, upgraded fuel rail and 440cc injectors. running a stand alone ECU for the motor, it's just a cheap basic locally made unit (Dicktator STD)
hi! that cam gear is good? im thinking in buy the same one
No, it does not fit. You have to shave down the mounting face otherwise it sits too far out. Personally, i won't buy it again.
Did you port the oil pump? Don't use a D16 flywheel...
Hi, No I was not able to get the screws or allen bolt lose to port and shim the pump, so I was forced to use it "as is". What flywheel do you recommend? I reused the stock D15 flywheel. Basically this whole motor is a mix and match of stock parts.
I’m pretty much a noob but I have a d15b7, and I want to mini me with a d16z6 head, I heard that d15b2 rods fit my block so I’m wondering if I could use those (built aftermarket ones) I’m only thinking of upgrading the rods because I know that the b7 rods are weak, but I would have to notch the block
Hi Bro, I don't know much about the B2, but the D15B's should all have the same rods, I have a D15Z4 and it has smaller big end rod journals than the D15B7. I would recommend confirming the big-end sizes before buying. The D16 rods are slightly longer than D15 rods just so you know. however if you are only doing a Vtec head swop the rods are not needed, the stock rods will do 200hp if they are the same as the B7. if you plan to boost later on do the rods and ARP Head studs. my motor is 100% stock and it was making 163whp at about 7psi
@@RisingBoostYT thanks man ima keep that in mind, I’m planning on building my motor in a year or two then boosting :)
Hi mate where did you get the torque specs for everything??
Hi Mason, I use the "nthefastlane" website. just confirm your engine is not different as they mostly list USDM motors. they mostly the same though.
Hi sir can this timing belt cover clear fit for honda city sx8 type ? D15 engine my engine look like this too
Hi Aniq, yes if your D15 has the spark plug leads going in on the front of the valve cover like my motor it will fit. if the spark plug leads go in on the back of the valve cover (like the Dseries from the EG EF shape cars) it will not fit.
Thanks sir
Stock gear box?
Hi, yes the gearbox is stock, the Dseries manual boxes are fairly strong, seen 600hp builds before, that's when they start stripping the diff spider gears.
Are you putting it in a prelude or a civic?
Hi Owen, its going into a Civic EK hatch, the videos are available on the channel already.
@@RisingBoostYT oh alr coo
Hey, where did you get ur Cam Gear/pulley from? And your clear Timing belt cover?
Hi Michel, I got it from AliExpress, the are very cheap, i'm actually making a video on the cam gear as it kinda fits but needs to be modified a bit. video coming soon. I will share links in the description of the video for you. same story with the clear cover.
@@RisingBoostYT when will the video be released? :)
Hey is this d15b vtec ？
Hi Boon, it's a non vtec D15z bottom end with a D16Z6 vtec head.
Where you from
Hi Rashied, i'm from Gauteng, South Africa
@@RisingBoostYT nice man you must come down too capetown......
Yeah bro you guys have all the civics and the Honda communitydown there, here in jhb there is only a few Hondas, we have mostly gti's and st's up here.
Man I love your work, I always learn new things, now I know how to work on my D series. If you don't mind can I get you Instagram handle or your whatsapp contact details? you really inspiring me to build a Mini-Me since I always have a non-vtec D15Z5.
Hi Bro, glad it was helpful! my instagram is just @risingboost, shoot me a DM, will help where I can.
