Knocked out a Y8 manifold swap over the weekend, I documented some of it on our site incase you were interested in doing the same for your DX. Enjoy!

thank you very much ..

exact same thought when i look at my D16Y7 ... WTF are those things ... they are smaller then straws ....

is it tight working around there .. if not .. i might try it myself .. if so .. i should get a friend to help me ..

how difficult was it ?

RoaringTurtle

cool
thats great that you documented it all
lots of good info there
i plan on doing the mini me swap soon but if i get a hold of an ex intake manifold first then maybe ill just swap it out before i do the mini me

Wasn't really "hard" at all per-se, just time consuming. Took us about 7hrs to do it all because we were working at a snail's pace since we were kind of learning as we went. If we did it again, I'm sure we could knock it out in less than 4 hrs easy. I'd suggest having a friend there though, an extra set of hands and eyes is invaluable when working on your car IMO. And no the area isn't very tight, we had alot of room to manuver out hands and the tool, the toughest part is bolting that lower center manifold bolt for the Y8 mani back on. You'll have to get to it from undreneath because there's simply no room from above to get at the nut, aside from that, it's a total breeze

thx !

that is tite
would that fit and benefit a d16z6??? would it even work on a d16z6?

eg6ajk

yes it will work on a d16z6 and sure it will benefit it, the runners are just tiny bit larger.

also the IAT will need to be moved to the intake (before TB) the rest will bolt up without the problem

i have a 2000 civic lx....(d16y7) what year would be best to get the d16y8 intake from?

Great job on swap and documentation. I'm not sure if I missed it, but how much did the swap cost? Not for me, but for a friend.

would doing a similar swap on a d15z1 work as well with the same gen as eg?
