Depends on where you live for SMOG. It will run the Y8 but not ideal. You'll need to swap over the alternator and injectors from the DX (they are both 240CC). Use the DX alternator. You'll also have to wire up the VTEC wiring and rig something with the intake air temp sensor (put it in the intake arm).
