a vtec life!!!

So I just dropped a fresh d16y8 into my 92 hatch... my distributor does not match up and I don't really want to hack it up... is there anyway I could get the 98 distributor to work in my car? If so how? I've been googling for 45 minutes and I got nothing... need to get this working by 2maro night

rewire it...or get the d16z6 dizzy it will plug right wait what harness you using???

Im using the d16z6 dizzy on the y8 head but its completly off, so I want to use the 98 dizzy instead... im using the obd1 92-95 harness... would the 98 dizzy plug into obd1 harness? And if I have to rewire it, does anybody have a diagram because I can't find one

Just found this....

Can anybody vouch for this rewiring diagram?

Just swap the guts from the Z6 distributor into your Y8 distributor. Or check out the link in my signature if you really want to rewire it, because Honda used different variations of colors for their wires, so it's better to rewire it by position rather than color.

^^ thanks for the help... bump

you are going to either need a conversion harness or a frankenstein dizzy. I have a frank'd dizzy in my car. It works fine, but its a bitch when there is a possible issue with it, because you have to open up a dizzy and swap parts, instead of just swapping the dizzy.

Or you could just use a D15B7/D15B8 distributor that bolts up and plugs right in.

A B7 dizzy wont bolt up to a Y8 head.

i picked up a b7 dizzy and it bolts up perfectly fine a lot better than the z6 one that doesnt bolt up at all... i still have the same problem- no spark... i changed the fuel realy also and still- no fuel....

Jimster480

wait wtf, a b7 dizzy actually bolts up to a Y8 head? how the ****. Also does it go in on both ways, or does it only fit 1 way like normally.

a vtec life!!!

the housing on the b7 is the same as the y8 dizzy seals nicely!!!

Jimster480

how interesting. I thought all the OBD-1 housings were the same, just like the OBD-2 ones are the same.

a vtec life!!!

Anybody have any suggestions

94EG8

nope. There are 3 different OBD1 D-series distributor housings in fact:

OBD1 non-vtec (same housing as all OBD2 D-series engines)
OBD1 vtec/vtec-e
OBD1 DOHC ZC

????????????????????????????????????????????????

WINNER!!

Yes it will. My brother in law is running his OEM b7 dizzy on my old y8 engine in his 94 CX. That's the exact distributor you want for that swap.

Jimster480

If you read down further then you would know that we already sorted this out and I was wrong

Vindicator9000

crap my bad.

I was just umm.... confirming. yeah, that's it, confirming.

a vtec life!!!

Yes that's the distributor... I have that bolted perfectly but I also still can't figure out why I have no spark or fuel, 5 distributors that aren't working (3 of which are new) 2 fuel relays that are making noise (1 of which is new) and a solid check engine light that I can't check because it stays solid even when I jump the service plug... should I just junk it? Im really tired of this car already

Is the thermostat ground clean and tight?

a vtec life!!!

Yes I check all my grounding points and everything is on point...

94EG8

ACG fuse under the dash blown?

Jimster480

have you tried a different ECU? because a solid CEL can mean that the ECU is bad

I will check 2maro... garage is 20 miles from my house...fml... ill keep updating, thanks
