Am I missing something? It is already done on yours and then you are about to what?

Good luck "vtak'in" without a VTEC head....

how hard exactly was it for you to put the y8 head on, and everything, and get it working?? and how long did it take you... im still debating if i REALLY wanna do this, scince i dont want to spend more than 1g on my engine... i dont even wanna think about swaps, unless its the complete y8, no b16...... thanks!

I had it done on my 97 CX hatch. It isnt worth it. Sounds good but it isnt. Also please be careful when you tighten the bolts back up on the intake manifold. They Tend to break alot with just a little over tighting. It took us about an hour to do. It felt no different. Your best bet is to just grab a cold air intake that fits the silly throttle body that points straight up.

Going to a vtec head is another story.

I'm sure it can all be done for under a grand, easy.

So far the head was the most expensive, and then ECU was like 80, IM with Fuel rail and injectors was amazingly only $43
