I've been owning Mini since 1992, I know Dolf from Leon Ginto, And if you don't agree Mini's don't overheat then go to EDSA during the Christmas rush or even to Ortigas where La Salle dismissal time, then tell me if your Mini won't overheat.The oil leak are signs that heat pressure coming out of your engine, tHE ORING FROM YOUR su CARB TELLS THAT HEAT FROM YOUR MANIFOLD TEND TO FRY THE DARN SEALS, aND IF YOU NOTICE CABIN TEMP IN A mINI IS HOT, tHAT FROM eUROPEAN STD. bUT IN A hONDA THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS AT THE FRONT, AND AIR TENDS TO PASS , And parts you say, are just general parts but not genuine, wait till 2 - 3 mos, it will give in.A lot of us in the Mini sceneknows these problem, Your lucky that the Mini you are driving already came from Japan, But wait till you get that Mini to replace pistons at 21k, WHEREAS A d15b COST 30k COMPLETE.

If you read back.. I said I don't agree about mini engine overheating much." meaning. they do overheat, but maybe because I don't drive it in Manila traffic that's why I never experienced such trouble... and maybe because I use a different oil. (http://NewOil.blogspot.com)
So how much is the conversion cost? Labor and Materials aside from the engine and how long will it take? PM me.Last edited by ehnriko; January 27th, 2010 at 10:08 PM.

these axles were sent to a shop where they specialize in doing gears, eventually even I was a bit surprise after they gave back the axles they are black and burnt, but they are of quality and they are guarantee industrial strength quality, I can't give you the details it's trade secret but as you can see on the picture they are perfect.
And for me we have shop that specialize in tube bending, in mandrell, and laser cutting machines, so build quality as it's best.

Hmmm... probably heat treated and cooled.
Ever think of selling the conversion kit? I think a lot of guys would like to do it, and such a conversion would be much cheaper than the UK-sourced B16A kit. (especially as the B16 costs three times as much as a D15). And some variants of the D15 give you up to 130 bhp, stock.
Does this conversion allow you to keep AC?

Yes actually I'm doing 3 subframes already for a customer, at 30k with your original subframe as exchange. 40K without. and yes you can install original a/c of the Honda but with our own a/c bracket, but that extra. look at pinoyminionline forums under Vtec or not to Vtec thread, and there is a comprehensive quotation of the items.
