hello everyone, im a newb poster, but i recently bought a supposedly a d16y8 head and intake manifold for a mini me swap, when i got it, my friend relized it was a d16y5 Manifold, VTEC-E. I was going to resell the wire harness and the manifold and get the actual d16y8 manifold, But are the y5 and y8 heads the same? if not how would i be able to tell the difference? Also what other models will the HX wire harness fit for?

thanks for the advice/information

 

D16Y5 VTEC-E cylinder head is made for gas mileage and economy. D16Y8 VTEC cylinder head is made for "power".

 

besides man you dont want to put the y5 head on your car anyways, its from the HX, witch i swear has to be the worse made honda....

Worst than a dx? The HX head isn't bad, it's just that there is little to no aftermarket for it.

Keep it and turbo that sumbitch

 

I would'nt say the hx is the worst honda made.... The worst thing about a hx is the tranny.
