I have a 2000 honda civic with a d16y8 engine that finally dies on me so I bought an engine from ebay since I couldnt find one locally.
The engine numbers match but the manifold did not.
I contacted them and received an intake that fits but the wireing is different.
I dont work on cars and the mechanic isnt sure he can make it work.
Is there 2 different d16y8 engines for the 2000 civic?
They said it came out of a 2000 civic just like mine.
Is there any way to make this work or do I send it all back and start over?

 

why dont you use the intake manifold and wiring harness from your old Y8???

 

The vacuum is different.
The intake on mine has a vacuum chamber above the ports but the one on the engine I received does not have this,
The mechanic said there would be a vacuum leak if I tried to use it.

 

Do you have pictures of both manifolds??

 

are you talking about air injection? your engine should have air injection but if the new one doesn't then it's a 96-98.

 

why not have the mechanic reuse your old intake manifold?

 

This is the new one they sent.

That is the old one.

It is not easy to see the old one but you can see what I am talking about.
If the new engine is a 96-98 is there a way to make it work or is it better to send it back and start over?

 

This thread is asking pretty much the same question. 99-00 Civic with a 96-98 longblock, he just put JB weld in the air injection holes on the 99-00 manifold.

But if I jb weld the hole will it throw codes?
What do you do with the line that is supposed to go there? Cap it off?
Do I have to change any of the chips or will it work right just like that?

 

You can also check d-series.org for more help if you need it.

 

I am trying but all I get is people telling me to look other places.
Does anyone know the answer to my questions?
