I love these. Doing a head swap with no parts list or directions? Check the FAQs. There are links for mini-me swaps.

VTEC controllers are fail. Especially when wiring VTEC is so easy.

-D16y8 Intake Manifold
-D16y8 Throttle Body
-D16y8 Fuel Rail
-D16y8 Fuel Injectors
-P28 ECU ( May also use P2P ECU, I'll get into that later )
-An Intake Device. ( The new setup will put the Throttle Body on it's side, not up in the air. )
-Torque Wrench
-Head Gasket
-Copper Spray
-Intake manifold Gasket
-Throttle Body Gasket
-Exhaust Manifold Gasket
-Timing Belt
-Oil + Filter
-Coolant
-96-00 Honda Civic EX Spark Plugs
