im doing a d16y8 swap into my 92 vx and was wondering if anybody did this swqp before. i got most of the things switched over to my new motor; vx wire harness, vx distributor, my tranny, and was wonderin what u do with the IAC (idle air control) valve, and any other suggestions on this swap.

i am using my old vx obd1 harness and my vx obd1 distributor, most of the connections just plugged right in just need help with the iac and the o2 sensor rewiring

doesn't your vx iacv fit on the y8? i was looking at a 95 dx engine today, and it looked like my y8 iacv would fit on perfectly. no idea about the o2 though.

dude get a different transmission,

the vx is one of THE worst you can get,
its made for saving gas, and thats the #1 concern with its design.

get y8 or z6 tranny wwaaaaaay shorter gears, way quicker,

even a dx tranny is alot quicker than that.

why you putting this engine in?

money issue, i had it lying around in my garage, and its a better motor than the vx one with its tiny intake.

I think you also have to change the injectors or rewire the injectors.

Del_Sol_s

thats been done already.

because its a SOHC VTEC... may not be much, but with a lil bit of money (boost or NA) its cheaper and faster then swapping... thats why!!!

Fear the single cam foo....

the engine is in, and she runs, i have one problem tho, the idle air control is not hooked up because mine is a two wire, while this motor has a three wire, do any of you know which wires to connect? besides that she runs fine, little slow at low rpm's cuz theres no cat and its basically a straight pipe, but it pulls after 5 like crazy. i need a ecu to rev higher also.

yah i put a 98 ex motor in my 95 lx coupe.. everything hooks up fine, you have to do a OB1 to OB2 switch over, yah its better to have a y8 tranny too.. overall swap is easy to do,

Wicker Man

The redline should be 6800 and the rev-limiter at 7600 the v-tec cross-over should be 5500 ... Other than that I have no swap info I just heard you should go with obd2 to obd1 conversion ...

i dont know what speeds to shift at, havent driven it much yet, but yea thats in the plans, to get a new tranny. does anyone know how to rewire the IAC?
