I plan on puttin this IM on my car because i plan on turboing it and it wont fit the top mount Intake manifiold or whatever you call it on the Y7. What all would i need to do this. i also plan on getting the y8 head too so..any suggestions would be great

You need an auto y8 intake manifold with all the trimmings.

i also plan on doing this for the same reason. why would he need an auto intake mani instead of manual?

You don't need to use the intake mani off an automatic, it just makes things easier.

The automatic Y8 has the same IACV to TB setup as the Y7, which makes it easier. With a manual Y8 mani you have to block the IACV opening on the back and use the throttle butterfly/rotor/spring off your Y7 TB (into your Y8 TB)

With an auto manifold you won't need to.

Also remember to get the throttle cable and bracket as well. Makes the swap a lot easier.

what about for putting a manual manifold on an auto?

I have an automatic y8 mani if anyone is intersted. I was going to do the swap myself but got a b series instead.

is it just a direct swap, would i have to change my ecu to like an ex one?

Libertariat

No need to change the Ecu.

how do i tell which manifold is from a auto d16y8? any numbers or markings? could someone send some pictures. I know someone selling one but dont know how to tell if its a y8 auto manifold.
