y8 head on y7 block
I have a y8 head, dizzy, and ecu, and want to put it on my y7 block. i know i need to change the iacv wires and add vtec wires, BUT im not sure about what to do with a knock sensor. The y8 and the D17's are the only SOHCs that use them. I was wondering if there was a way from me to trick the computer into making it think i have a knock sensor. Also, I dont have a throttle body, but im thinking i can use and sohc vtec or any b-series throttle body and it can work, is this correct? as long as it has the tps sensor on it? please let me know what i need to do, and if anyone knows of a link of somewhere that i can get a ecu pinout so i know where to remove and add wires i would appreciate it, i found one, but im not sure how reliable it is. every picture i find is of a p28 z6 head swap, i would really like a y8 swap

1.buy a knock sensor
2.Screw it into the already tapped hole in the block(im pretty sure y7&y8 blocks r identical besides the pistons)
3.Plug the one wire it has into the ecu.
DONE!

Hondata can remove the knock sensor in the ECU, or so I've heard

Althogh I'd recommend that way

Re: (madpipr)
you may have to use just one bolt instead of 2 on the cable holder and move the bracket over one...but that should fit fine...same cable 'n all
so w/ O's being open holes and X's being filled hole, isntead of this:
__X___X___|
You'll have
_____X___| O
If that makes sense
