back in the fall i picked up a y8 long block from a local guy. the guy i got it from was under the impression it came from california, because he said the intake mani was slightly different ..or something like that..

is anything on the head different than the rest of the y8's out there because it came from cali(stricker em laws and junk). any design differences or something that might cause leaks or something if i swap it onto my y7

thanks guys,

-Luke

Kinda hard to tell if its different without a picture...post one up of the mani and maybe we can help.

 

As far as I know, all Hondas are 50-state legal and unchanged from state to state. It'll be fine.

 

yah i didn't think there was any differences but i'll post up a pic of my y8 intake mani(did not come on the cali long block i bought), a y8 IM gasket(straight from honda) and the y8 head(supposedly from cali and might be different according to that guy)

thnx guys i'll put up the pics asap

 

i dunno about the intake manifold but there are minor changes to the engine between 96-98 and 99-00

the 96-98 model is obd2a and the 99-00 model is obd2b and has an extra plug on it...

 

k i got some pics. notice the differences between the gasket and the mani and the gasket and the head etc.

also on the head you can see some old gasket residue on places the new gasket or mani isn't even touching.

lemme know what you guys think

 

the difference is in the years. a 99-00 and the 96-98 manifold are different. one has cold start assist or something

 

you see where there used to be gasket above the manifold on yours... now look at my gasket. see the difference? i think it would run fine either way though

 

jdm169- is urs a 99-00?

now that i recall, the guy did say it was a 2000

would these differences cause any leaks or anything?

sorry i can't remember which i have, i think as long as you have the right gasket for the manifold your using you will be fine. maybe someone else could chime in will a definite answer

 

weve got info on this. the 99-00 is different from something called air injection. putting this manifold on a 96-98 car requires that you plug those holes with something

 

what about the 92-95 vs the 96-98 ?
any difference there as far as the mounting surface/gaskets go ?

 

96 to 98 compared to the 99 00 manifold is that the 99 00 has an air injection valve on it it does have something to do with cold starting

 

the 99 had a iacv valve but so should the 96-98

 

the intake mani did not come on the y8 longblock i bought. im not sure what year the y8 mani is. i bought it seperatly but im pretty sure its 96-98 cuz i don't see the holes for the cold start thing

 

anyone else? opinions

 

Your head is from a 99-00 with air-injection. The manifold is from a 96-98. Everything will work fine the way it is. There will not be any vacuum leaks or problems. Just go for it!

You'd only have a problem putting a air-injection manifold on a non air-injection head.

 

kool thanks marauder!!

im hopein to see some fun gains from this. should be nice after the boost goes on too

d-series !!!!!!
