i have a 89 honda civic. i was gonna swap the block from d16a6 to d16y8. then looked into turning it in to mpfi instead of dpfi.and found out i can use the y8 im for the swap. in this case could i jus swap the whole motor and wire up the vtec???? would i still need the si ecu, dizzy, throttle cable and resistor box????

 

if you have a d16a6 you should already be mpfi

 

no mines a d16 but its carberated

 

what are you trying to do swap complete engines or do a mini-me swap with a d16y8 head on your d16a6 block...!!!

 

no i was tryin to jus swap blocks and transfer the oil control jets. but then started thinkin about doin the fuel infection swap. and the motor i got is a y8. i was told i could use the block now im gonna use intake manifold for the f.i. swap. so i wanna know if i can jus swap the whole motor since im doin the block and the i.m.

 

 

whats the stamp code on the front of that head...example:

 

wut is it? has the block been swapped?

 

i cant find that head code but it looks like you have a d16a6 block with a 1988 d15b2 head...!!!

 

^^^x2 that's still not carburated though, it's dpfi

 

since you got the d16a6 bottom end and parts of the d16y8 head you should probably look into a mini-me swap...here's a great write up below if you want to take that route...!!!

yea i would but the bad thing is the block has a baseball size hole in the front. the dude that had it before me ran the **** out of it. thats y i wanna swap the whole y8 into the car.
edit:

 

carburated?

 

yep. i dont want it anymore.

 

its not carburated, someone already covered that. its a dpfi manifold. there are 2 injectors (note: carbs don't have injectors). one primary and one auxilliary injector.

 

ok well i want mpfi. i jus wanna know if i can swap in the y8 motor and wire up vtec

 

yes...search the faq section and there should be a step by step write up on how to do it and what you need...!!!

 

sure can. convert from dpfi to mpfi

http://hondaswap.com/swap-articles/d...writeup-49557/

Get yourself an obd0-obd1 ecu jumper and a p28. then run the wires into the engine bay for the 4 wire o2 and vtec.

 

convert to mpfi

 

No. Edit your quote and I'll be editing my post. Half asleep will do that do ya

 

 

Heres what i would do, Convert it to mpfi either your self or rywire. use your mounts you have now to put the y8 in and get energy suspension inserts, you have to use the tranny from the a6, and use a dizzy from a d15b7 or b8 (92-95 civic dx/lx), then order a obd0-obd1 ecu jumper harness and dizzy jumper then get a p28 with a basemap for a y8 then youll have some vtec

 

sweet thats it? i thought there would be more to it. im lookin for a p28 ecu rite now. got everything else but the harness. i think ill jus buy the harness from rywire. what is the dizzy harness?

 

if you already have the obd0-obd1 ecu jumper then get a rywire mpfi harness and i can make you a dizzy jumper, it converts the obd0 distributor plug to the new obd1 dizzy

 

nm. i get it now. i need the jumper to plug in the dpfi harness.
