searched but didn't find any specific answer to my question....i would like to know if i use a z6 head on my y7 do i have to convert to odb1. i will be using y8 IM.

 

I don't have any answers for you, but can only tell you to search more, 'cuz I plan on doing the same however using a z6 IM, and going OBD1, If I'm not mistaken you need to add a knock sensor (unless the y7 has one?) some one on this site has done a y7/z6 swap, I've talked to him before.

It may be a little extra work but I guarranty that if you search hard enough you'll find 99% of what you need. (sorry not trying to be the search dick, but I've found this info before...)

 

if u go to 0bd1 u don't need a knock sensor

 

i did a mini me swap y7 block y8 head first i had the stock ecu (obd2) you do need to get a knock sensor the y7 block does not comes with it but its already threaded for it right on the back I would strongly recomend you go with the y8 head instead of the z6 you will get higher compresion will breath better same with the y8 intake manifold much bigger than the z6, you can always convert from obd2 to 1 and you wont need the knok sensor after hope this helps

 

dont mean to thread jack, but what timing belt do u use on a z6 head? y8 head>

 

the question is........."do i have to convert to obd1?"

 

no. the head is all mechanical, the only wire or sensor in the z6 head is the VTEC solenoid and plug, so no you do not need to go to OBD-I.

if your staing with all the obd2 (intake manifold) sensors if your getting a z6 IM you do have to convert

 

no need to convert...

If you're using z6 head --&gt; z6 timing belt
If you're using y8 head --&gt; y8 timing belt

someone correct me if I'm wrong

 

anyone else would like to add to this?????
