D16W1 is a very uncommon (As in I never knew it existed until I looked at the wiki) mini me, but is a 4 valve head so in theory any vtec head will work. Some modification to your stock wiring harness will be required. Additionally you will more than likely be required to get a Vtec Ecu. There are kits that can convert non vtec ecu's into vtec ones but I am unsure if it will work for your ecu. Alternatively, you can wire in a vtec controller that activates off of rpm.
Good luck

Is this by chance an all wheel drive d16w1 manual transmission HR-V? If so, we will want pictures lol.
As for the mini me swap, a few things need to be checked (oil drain backs, and to see if your block has a restrictor in it), but other than that, it should be a bolt on affair. You will need to wire for VTEC (one wire), and you will also need a VTEC ECU or have yours converted as well as chipped. All of that is very attainable though.

To make a mini me for vtec head etc how do I install a vtec counterfor and how will the ECU know that more gasoline injection is needed?

It wont, it will rely on o2 to correct fuel trim while vtec is activated, it might run a little rich down low and a little lean up top, better to source an obd2 vtec ecu and a jumper harness (if needed) to connect to the cabin harness.
A Hondata chip is not a BAD idea, especially if you plan on further modifying your engine.
However if you just want Vtec it isn't entirely necessary.

How can I analyze if my engine has a back oil drain and see if my block has a restricted one? This all to proceed to the mini me
Do you mean oil jet? Non-vtec blocks have a little oil jet between cylinder 2 and 3 that needs to be removed after removing the non-vtec head.
Also it isn't necessary to get a new harness. You can modify your stock harness where needed. It will save you a couple of bucks.

Pull up pictures of the head gasket for your d16w1, and a d16y8, make sure all the holes are in the same locations and are the same shape. It is possible this might be the same block as the d17 and oil drain back holes dont line up right.
If ebay has anything to say about it they appear to be the same. I got a lot of listings for D16w1 / D16y7 / D16y8

I've never seen a w1 so thought I'd make him do some homework, I only know I went to swap a z6 head onto some hrv motor (supposedly, cant remember which, something they picked up) only to check casting numbers and find it was the same block as a d17a1.

But how does this oil jet to make mini me from a d16w1 to d16z6 work uh-huh
Edit. i miss read. I though you wanted to know how to remove it......
Thinking more about it, that may be what you are asking lol.
Remove it is all you have to do if you want to go non vtec to vtec. Use a wood screw or drywall screw and screw it in and pull to remove.
If you dont have one in the motor then you dont need to worry about it
Google image search "dseries oil jet" to see a pic of it so you can check if you have it and know what it looks like.

Então, para aplicar o cabeçote do z6, terei que retirar esse "jato de óleo" do bloco, nesse caso esse "jato de óleo" vai virar o cabeçote?
yes exactly
remove the oil jet from the block and use a z6 head
this is all you need to know "Então, para aplicar o cabeçote do z6, terei que retirar esse "jato de óleo" do bloco, "
