Re: d16y8 to d16y5
Hate to beat up a old thread but need some input. I bought a jdm engine that turned out to be a y5 vtec e & put in my 97 civic ex after the y8 gave out. Its a 5 speed & right now im running the y8 p2p ecu, intake, header, and all sensor with no egr because the y8 didnt have them on the intake. Car idles funny so what needs to be done to make this thing perform correctly?

Re: 96 ex with hx engine
Your stock Y8 harness will work on the Y5
buy a...
obd2a to obd1 Jumper - 50$
92-95 Civic Ex P28 - $100
Send Ecu to Phearable.net for tune - $80
if you jump it to obd1 you'll bypass O2 sensors, Egr valve, etc.

I contacted this place & they told me i would be wasting my money that a chipped obd1 ecu wouldnt solve my problems.

Kind of smells like the car runs rich sometimes & the O2 sensor in the header has a white tint to it. The person i talked to said a obd1 ecu wouldnt fix the iacv malfunction im having but honestly i dont know whats causing it. I checked it with a multimeter & the TPS while i was at it. I noticed someone else said map sensor but im not throwing a code for that.

Re: d16y8 to d16y5
the y5 tied to an EX 5 speed would be a little quicker than a y8. still your not talking about much but you can still have the mpg savings and the off the line feel.
I have both but need a car to put them in. I'm picky wanting a '98 ex

Sorry for the book, but this has been bugging me for a few months now. Any help would be awesome. Doing the sensor thing tomorrow and going to get my cel reset

Re: d16y8 to d16y5
i have a quick question that i am not sure about. i have a 96 civic ex with a d16y8 engine. well had a d16y8. i swapped it for a d16y5 engine bcuz the block is bad on the original d16y8 engine. so my question is do i have to replace the ECU for a hx model?? i mean i just switched the engine but i still have the same tranny and intake maifold but just the block and the head are from a hx civic a d16y5.
