Well, Please tell me, which Intake MANIFOLD (from Y8 or Z6) is better for D16Y8 engine? I have a D16Y8 in my EG Civic.

y8, i hear a lot of people call it the type R intake manifold for D series motors. it has shorter something, forgot the word. I just know its better. keep it on there, and your tb, you can get a b18 tb, but it dosnt help that much....just how they say 'being a full throttle ahead' which i never understood. keep the IM you have, keep the engine...its probably the best stock setup (USDM) for a D series to go with. I mean z6's head has better flow...BLAH BLAH...y8 has higher compression i think? 127hp.....

GET THAT 300 SHOTOF NAAAAWWWWZZZZZ , let me hear it go boom. jk

yea i'm going to swap a y8 head on my z6 as well.... gotta start lookin in the junk yard... not easy to find...

yes, the y8 IM is the "R IM" of the SOHCS. if oyu want sometihng aftermarket go w' a skunk2. the y8 has larger runners than the z6.

The only performance difference in the intake manifolds is the plenum size. The Y8 has a larger plenum than the Z6, other than that, they are identical except for how things attach to the manifold. The runner length and size are exactly the same.

A better aftermarket choice is the Edelbrock Peformer X manifold. Better than the stock manifolds and the Skunk.

y8 is the best d series intake manifold and u can mate it with an ls or b20 tb for some cheap power.

theres a write up about this topic written by the user "spade"...basically, yes, if your going with a honda manifold, the y8 is the way to go, i believe it has shorter? runners and also a larger plenum size, if you want to get a little better performance, edelbrock has the victor x for the d-series motors now, skunk2 also makes one, but from what i've read, the skunk2 has a lot of fitment problems, and you have to adjust your fuel levels to get really good numbers out of it, i'd say go with the edelbrock and a type r throttle body or even a gs-r throttle body, and the manifold also accepts larger throttle bodies ( i wanna say up to 68mm, but i could and probably am wrong ), but theres no need to have it port matched, and they're not even that expensive (a shop around here sells it for 250+-)

whatever you do, good luck and keep us posted

I know someone who has measured the volume of the runners and this is not true. I will post a link up to the thread when I get home from work. It's on SOHCHONDA.com if anyone wants to go on there and search for it now.

I found this Y8 intake manifold on ebay for $30 Buy-it-Now so I jumped on it, cuz they usually go for a lot more. It was so cheap that I just couldn't pass it up.



I cleaned it up a little bit, and pulled off the throttle body, brackets, and hoses.



Then I painted it gloss black with some hi-temp paint. The hi-temp paint probably isn't necessary, but I figured it couldn't hurt.





Look at this idiot posing with an intake manifold! Oh, wait... that's me.



I just ordered some red wrinkle paint from Summit. I couldn't find that stuff anywhere locally. I'm gonna use it to paint the valve cover. I'm trying to maintain the red/black scheme throughout the whole car. I just need some red silicone couplers for the CAI.

Anyway, what's my best option for a throttle body? Should I stick with the Z6, use the Y8, or maybe port the manifold to use a B-series TB. Any other suggestions?

I had one of those packard Bell's computers...pOs.

Oh yeah the y8 IM are cheap and easy to find on EBAY just pick one up and bolt it on. If anyone needs help putting on a y7 instant message me on AOL or yahoo. Later

Here is the Y8 vs. Z6 intake manifold thread I was talking about. You guys really need to check it out. It has more tech info on the subject than I have seen anywhere else.

just remember u want a manual intake manifold for a z6 swap, because u need the iacv on the intake manifold

and if u have a y7 u want the auto manifold because u want the iavc on the throttle body like the stock y7.
