My question is to d16y8 swap owners. Swapping from a y7 to a y8 do you really feel the extra 21 hp and the vtec or is it a waste of time and money. thanks

 

are to talkin about a mini-me head swap or a complete motor swap?

 

shouldn't it be the same since the block is the same?

 

no the VTEC block is little stronger (bottom end). but it will bolt right up just fine

 

i felt it

 

im talking about the head only over the d7 block.

 

you should fell some difference a Y8 trans will also offer alot of difference too

 

how much did you guys get your head for and with all other necessary parts. i heard it was somewhere near 500 correct me if im wrong (excluding the tranny)

 

i traded my complete head with ecu, manifold, and wireharness for a rc car. luckY ME!

 

well i just bought a Z6 head for 100 bux and just sold a y8 trans for 100 so its all relatively cheap stuff

 

I got everything cheap if not free thats the best way, the only thing I paid for was 240cc injectors $30 ebay, and a head gasket $35 autozone, Timing belt $35 autozone. All you need then is the head, and ecu everything else bolts up and change the iac plug and swap the wires on the harness. But yeah it deff makes a difference. If you cant get everything you need cheap, just remember you can buy a D16z6 or D15b for like $500. Good Luck

 

Yeah thats y I'm sticking with D series this time, Boost it, blow it, buy new cheap

 

yep d-series is best (cost wise) im gonna spray mine till it blows already starting to build another one anyway
