Y7 to Y8 head swap - Wiring help!
I've done some research about it, but I'm still lost. I pulled a y8 head from an Acura EL at the yard yesterday, along with the ECU. This will all be going into my 99 EK which has a d16y7 in it. The wiring in the bay appears to not match up, so I'm lost on what to do. I suspect it's because my car doesnt have VTEC wiring. Also I am aware that there is obd2a and obd2b, but I'm not really sure what that means, or if the y8 is obd2a or obd2b. I haven't begun the swap yet, everything is just waiting.

It took a while, but I managed to figure out my y8 is OBD2b and so is my y7. I think this means all o have to do is wire vtec

Post pics of the ECU.
As for wiring you'll need to
-convert from 3-2 wire IACV
-wire up VTEC and knock sensor
-depending on your exhaust manifold you may have to extend secondary 02
