Alright well i have a 98 Civic Cx hatch and i was wondering about getting a V-tec head on my stock Y6 Block i was wondering if i got a Y8 Head what all what would i need in order for v tec to kick in right because forgive me if im wrong but without an ECU wouldn't V-tec not engage at all it would be like running around on the stock motor?
please get back to me asap cant Instant Message yet just made this new account thanks.... p.s IF someone could tell me how i could upload images of my Civic too that would also be much appreciated

 

Im pretty sure your gona need a ecu then run a wire for vtec, not sure what ecu to use though haven't done much research on those motors yet, but there is also a pretty sweet search button. could be some helpful info there for ya.

Yes, you will need to run a P2P ECU (VTEC ECU from an EX). There's more information about the other specifics you will need to do in here:

Good luck with it.

Oh yeah, and if you need a P2P ECU I have one sitting on my shelf at home collecting dust I think. /shameless plug

Alright man thanks i read up on it but i just wondering with my98 civic cx which has a D16Y6 motor and stock air box system.....If taking that Y8 head whenever i can get one, and the P2P ECU , if i will need,Intake manifold, Intake, Timing belt from the Y8

 

u dont need new head bolts unless u got the money 2 spend. honda dealers dont replace them when they replace head gaskets

 

u dont need new head bolts like the thread says unless u got money to spend. honda dealers reuse them when replacing head gaskets,just dip them in motor oil.

 

Alright well it looks like no one is doing the Y6 block with the y8 v tec head swap thing like i want to but from all my reading it looks to me like for the best bet i should buy the D16y8 head,Intake Manifold,and for the V-tec results that i want is to also get the P28 ECU outta the 99 or 00 Ex?????? let me know thanks for the help

 

Hey i got a Y8 head and a p2p manual ECu for sell give me a price and ill let u know

 

would that be all that i would need in order for V-tec to engage and work properly on my motor and if so i will have to get back to you on that stuff cuz i going to Honda Day in Jersey next week

 

No, you need more than just a head and ecu, you will also need to wire in a vtec solenoid.

 

i thought that ,that came with the Y8 head already?????
and what would be my best choice of ECU to get
if the V-Tec silinoid doesnt come with it then where could i pick one up at

 

i have dont this swap, and recently. use the p2p ecu, you need to fake a knock sensor, you can reuse the head studs. you need to run and pin your own wires for the vtec and knock sensor. pm me if you need all the details. oh and do the IACV fix, that didnt work for me but you have to none the less. so you also need the 2wire plug for that intake manifold IACV

 

ya im selling you the head it has the solenoid and the cam every thing he mean that u have to wire up the solenoid for vtec to crack open i havent done this swap yet but im planning to i also have a Z6 head thats the head im using for my mini me if you want it just pm me with a price

 

Or i can just sell u the whole Y8 motor which its proply better then a mini me motor only got 140,??? mile on it its up to you

 

ya i would love to have the Y8 head i already have a full y8 motor with a head but the head is [freak]ed i know it is thats why i tryin to see if i can find someone while im in Jersey to trade me a y8 head stock or built would be better for my Y8 motor cuz i dont really feel like going through all that bs of motor swapping i really dont have that kinda time on my hands so ya i let you guys know i still can pm yet cus of being a trial user so when i can i will get back to everyone

 

alright guys heres the deal i need one final question and maybe some instructions on this..... i got the Y8 Head FINALLY now how or can i wire up the V-tec silinoid in order V-Tec to work properly..???? do i definately need a ecu from and EX and do i need to do a trans swap????? please let me know because i want to be able to put this on my car in one shot and just be able to crack into it and V-Tec to be there for me
