i am currently doing a mini me swap in my 95 civic. i have a d16y8 head off of a 97 civic ex and a d15b7 block from a 93 dx. i just wanted to know what distributor i should use because the y8 plug ins are different and the b7 bolt holes do not line up. also i wanted to know if i should use a y8 timing belt or a z6 timing belt. any help would be much appreciated.

thanks alot that answered my questions

when i got the y8 head i also got the manifold with it and i was wondering if it flowed any better than the z6 manifold. also i noticed there is no place for an intake air temp sensor. is that because they are different obd and an obd2 doesnt need one? and can i still use the y8 manifold without throwing a cel?

its the intake manifold not the exhaust

According to the myth, the Y8 intake manifold is the best OEM d-series manifold. On my Y8, the IAT sensor was on the stock intake arm. When I boosted it, I drilled it into the intake manifold. If you're going to install it properly, now is the time - when it's not installed.

the y8 flows much better i know because i have this on my jdm d15b as for the iat the sensor is on the manifold on obd1 cars and on the intake for obd2 cars i just extended the wires for the plug and as for the actuall sensor i took it out of my old manifold and drilled a hole into my intake piping and siliconed it into place works great also when u do the swap be sure to plug the cruise control lines or u will get a vacumm leak and bad idle

Ha, so I'm not the only one who forgot to plug this line in. After I changed my headgasket, I drove around for an hour before I realized what I forgot.

yup it took some good old ht knowledge to figure that one out after my y8 im swap

when you drilled into the manifold and put the iac in did it throw a cel?

nope because i didnt want to drill into that beautifull manifold so i extended the wires drilled a hole in my ebay intake and then siliconed the sensor/plug into place and then voila
