just did a mini me with a Y8 head from a 2000 civic ex. i'm using the stock si computer til i get my obd0-obd1 jumper. i used the y8 map on top of the throttle body instead of the si one. is there something special i forgot?

 

wich distributor r u using?

 

using the a6 distributor

 

any codes?

i just did the same swap. check your timing. spark and fuel. and if all else fails compression.

 

i check for spark: yup, fuel: plenty, timing is right on. don't have the idle air control plugged in yet. don't think it will cause it to not start. i put a new tps sensor on. how do you adjust that damn thing? i'm guessing that's why it won't start.

 

make sure the timing is advanced 2 degrees... it wont run without like that, or if it does it will run like crap

 

got a number i can reach you at? sure could use the help. thanks

 

set tps sensor at 0.44 voltage closed. timing advance a few degrees. anything i'm missing?

 

you should still be able to plug everything in.... all the connectors are the same, so try plugging the iacv in and see(why not? its worth a shot right!!!) i did the same swap to my crx only with a z6 head and zc bottom end, timing was most of the problem on starting, its got to be really precise. to do so put on the belt as usual, do the 2:1 revolution just make sure all is good, then advance the cam gear 2degrees, then set the ignition timing 16 degrees +/- 2degrees... its all simple its just very time consuming to get it exact, and believe it has to be exact
