So you're looking to swap in a D16Y8 in place of your Y7? Or are you asking how to transform your 106hp Y7 into the 125hp beast Y8?

The blocks are pretty much identical, the Y8 head, vtec solenoid, ecu, and wires for vtec are needed. I'd recommend using the Y8 intake manifold as well, it's dubbed the "Type R" of D-series manifolds - this will involve some wiring with sensors and maybe IACV swap, I'm not certain.

good looking out bro... thanks alot. i just wanna know how much im going to need to spend to do this.

Depends on what deals you find. A Y8 head is usually $100, you'll need a few other things too. I question if it's even worth it - might as well get a complete Y8 for $250.

most likely im going to get a complete y8 hed off of craigslist. matter fact ive already found one for a 100$ complete.
