Well my question is for my setup which intake manifold would be better? for more power?? I have the y8 manifold sitting next to me and would like to put on tonight.
will the z6 throttle body bolt up to the y8 manifold also?

My setup:
92 cx hatch w/ z6 swap w/ z6 intake manifold
dc sport 4-1 header
aem short ram intake
stage 2 clutchmaster clutch
short shifter
full greddy exhaust w/ test pipe
tokico blues w/ lowering springs

What manifold would be best???????

 

Well you didnt search...cause this has been asked so many times...
But the answer is Y8 intake manifold is better. And I would assume the z6 TB body would fit as alot of people swap around with different TBs, weather its a B16 on a D-motor.

 

i did search and the only thing i came up with was the saying that y8 is better for low/mid range and the z6 is better for high range. I wasn't looking for that answer cause not all setups are the same. So i figured i'd post up my setup and wanted to know what was better. thanks for the smart *** comment though. Anybody else?

 

y8 is better than z6... the d16y8 has the best parts

 

Ummmm........ the y8 manifold is better in every way, I've heard people call it the "type r manifold of d-series".

The throttle body will probably bolt up, but there may be a couple cable fitament problems. Like when I put my y7 throttle body onto my y8 manifold, I needed to swap the little wheels that the cable attached to.

Other than that, it should provide you a little more power in the whole rpm range.

 

Just make sure you're intake manifold is from a manual Y8, otherwise you'll have to drill and tap a couple holes in it.

Check out my write-up

Here's a crappy diagram of the holes that'll need to be drilled and tapped: crappy diagram
