since the d16y8 mani swap on a d16y7 head requires a tb mounted IACV, is it possible to just use an AUTOMATIC d16y8 manifold and throttle body on my d16y7 since the auto y8 manifold has a tb mounted iacv and also has the manifold iacv holes already plugged up?

Yes, the auto Y8 manifold would work. I think you should be able to use your Y7 TB with it as well.

Civiclx

which one would be better on my d16y7 five speed, the y8 auto mani with auto y8 tb or the manual y8 mani with my five speed y7 tb

Civiclx

anybody?

Civiclx

the manual y8 manifold has tha iac on the mani, i think it should be fine if u leave it on and just put the y7 tb on (not sure). i seen some people just plug the holes for the iac on the mani. although i would suggest just using the auto mani and tb. (by the way, i do have a 2000 y8 auto mani and tb for sale)

thanks but i just picked up an 96-98 auto mani, just need the auto tb from the 1996-1998

I did the Y8 manifold swap on my Y7. I just used the Y7 throttle body, works fine, the Y7 and Y8 auto throttle bodys are the same as far as i can tell. One note on the Y8 auto manifold. There is a set of vaccum holes in the manifold just above each of the intake ports that runs to the fuel injectors, I think is something for emissions, not sure really. Anyway, you'll have to plug those holes or you'll get a vaccum leak. I just tapped them and plugged them with some allen screws and locktite.

yeah those are for the 99 up ones, i have a 96-98 so i got a 96-98 auto im, thanks for lookin out bro!
