well if you want to make it easy get an obd2 d15b with three stage vtec. Or you could get obd1 but your 2000 ex is obd2 and you would have to get a obd2-obd1 jumper. Thats about it oh and you might want the ecu that's for the d15b.

jdmwojo

well what jdm engine will match right up with my stuff??? d16z6?? i was thinking the d15b would

lowNslow!

He told u, any obd2 motor or you could get a jumper harness.

jdmwojo

ok so i called a motor company that imma order the engine from they said they have a obd2 d15b motor that will be an exact swap with all my y8 stuff and i gain power and be 125hp stock

Why swap out a D-series for another D-series? Is something wrong with your motor? If not, that money is better invested in a swap or turboing your current motor.

thats exactly why, my engine has 235k miles on it, so i figured i would just go ahead and replace the whole engine and then boost it cuz i love boosted d's make alot of power AND torque

why not just rebuild the y8?

if you are going to boost it, might as well rebuild it via VITARA

jdmwojo

cuz its gonna be cheaper to just buy a new one

but you would be buying a USED one in an unkown condition

then throwing boost on a stock motor.

it just makes more sense to me, to go ahead and rebuild the Y8 with some forged rods, vitaras, new bearings and rings, ARP headstuds.

then you can push some nice power levels on a good tune and have some more reliability

do what you want, but you will make more power and more reliability for not much more money
