Ok guys, first off I'm new to honda-tech but not new to the honda game. I recently got a y8 for freeee and am putting it in my 95 coupe ex. I personally haven't done this yet but did some research here on honda-tech and just got frustrated with what people where saying about how big of a headache this swap is. PSHHHHH yeah right?! I have already gotten my z6 out of the car and been comparing the 2. since the y8 block is nearly identical i find this to be a piece of cake. I keep seeing people say that we have to convert the car to obd 2 vs the engine to obd1... The z6 tranny bolts right up to the y8 block. the coolant pipe and thermostat housing line right up. ac compressor bracket, ps pump bracket, and alt, bracket from z6 bolts right up to y8 block as well as the side engine mount. Use the y8 timing cover if you'd like and use all y8 parts for t belt water pump and seals blah blah. Now 2 biggest things i ran into that really are not a big headache is using the z6 intake and y8 dizzy... the z6 intake will bolt right up to the y8 head but use a y8 gasket as it has a round hole for the coolant passage unlike the kinda square one the z6 has. the round one will fit around the kinda square one. for the dizzy I'm going to use a 96 "big plug" that has 9 wires and cut off the connector and re pin it to a 95 connector. Easy stuff as at work i have honda pins and proper pin tools. But i could solder the wires to the appropriate place in connector. Now this is my first initial write up. Pull anything you can off your z6 and put it on your y8. Pics soon to follow as I'm still in process of doing the swap. I just don't want people thinking this swap aint worth it bc to me it totally is! If you have any questions just ask ill answer them.
