i have a SOHC ZC and i would like to find out from you guys what woud be a better intake manifold for this engine if there is any .

so what do you use in your setup? post pics if you have any

 

i would like to go with y8 or the z6

 

z6 or y8 what year are this from?

 

y8 manifold is from us 96-00 civic ex's. z6's are from 92-95 si hatchback and ex's.

 

these are interchangeable right no mods to them

 

they will bolt up yes but not sure on wiring tho

 

im using a z6 but i heard y8 is the best IM for d series.

so y8 is the way to go on the d series i was doing some reserch and some pepole say that there is some wiring mods you have to do on the map sensor in order to fit is this correct?

 

If your on a budget use the y8, I used one for a while on my built d16a6 (I am going to sell it if your interested IM me). If you have the money get a Skunk2 I just got one and it makes a noticeable difference.

 

How much does a skunk 2 IM go for ? and do they make 1 just for A6 or just get the one for 92-95 civic ex? or does it even matter?

 

i dont think it matters but if its the same one i was looking at on ebay it was $200-$300 for SOHC and for DOHC motors $500-600ish

*Correction* the $500 thing is for b-series IM/TB package.

 

I rocked a y8 back in my SOHC days

 

oh gotcha ....not the obx knock offs ones or the actual skunk 2? I was wonder if the obx knock off is the same quality as the skunk 2 ?

 

says genuine skunk 2 and in some of the auctions the items pictured show the skunk 2 and are on top of the skunk2 box but it IS ebay where somehow you can get tons of "jdm" parts for .99 with $20 shipping... ha.

 

well i got an obx IM that i have problems with and can't install it cuz the TB doesn't fit quite well and there is no place for this sensor goes on the rear of the stock IM



does anybody know what this sensor does?

 

If i remmy correctly that sensor is not needed and wont throw a code at all. I do not know what is it for.

 

slightly off topic, but is a jdm d15 vtec intake manifold (what i have) the same as a z6??

Thanks

i don't remember either but ill check tomorrow is to cold out there tonight ok now how about this . the intake that i got has one hole that is off set and will not line up with my TB the box that this intake came is has a sticker that shows is for a 88-91 civic SOHC any help?
here is a picture

 

88-91 Si throttle bodies have a different bolt pattern than the rest of the D-series t/b's. Just find a 92-00 D-series t/b. You will have to lengthen the wires for the MAP sensor (since its on the t/b). If not, find a 90-91 Integra t/b or a 1st gen B16A t/b as they share the same bolt pattern as the 92-00 D-series t/b's, and you won't need to lengthen your MAP sensor wiring.

 

Y8 manifold.

i couldn't wait so i went to the shop and disconnect this sensor and you are right no codes and runs normal so i'll be ok with my OBX IM

 

alright well then ur should be alright then

yes.

go for a y8 intake manifold. its the "type r" manifold of the d series motors. then get a b series tb and port match it.
