Just did a engine swap for a family member and in return I got a good running d16y8 vtec engine in return... I currently have a 1991 4door lx with a broken timing belt that i want to stick it in. What would i need to do in order to successfully complete this swap?

 

the motor is out of a 99

 

The good news is that the D16Y8 will drop in easily.

Is your 4dr Automatic or Manual?

 

^^
That first, but assuming you have a manual tranny...
You will need to convert to MPFI and convert to OBD1.

It seems that you are getting the entire Y8 engine with sensors, distributor, and everything included so you won't have to buy anything!

It will bolt right up to your existing tranny.

Specifics for this swap:
- Properly wire the OBD2 distributor for OBD1
- Install the IAT sensor into the intake tube

 

yah the vehicle is a manual tranny... how would i swap over to obd1??? what would i need to do to the vehicle?

 

what i did is remove the obd1 internals from the dizzy and put it on my obd2 dizzy. and get a 0bd0-0bd1 conversion harness

 

could he just put the 91 si intake mannifold and dizzy and whatever else is needed for the MPFI swap on the y8 head? "to keep it obd0!
This will actually help me out a bit aswell,"not jacking your thread!

 

Why did you do that?
The OBD2 internals work just fine with the OBD1 ECU.
If you get a jumper harness all you need to do is put the OBD2 wires in the right place on an OBD1 connector.

 

He could.
But where would you be getting your fuel maps and vtec activation?

The OOOLLLLDDD way with an RPM switch doesn't cost all that much less than going OBD1.

 

and no he couldnt do it with the dizzy. different timing maps, and everything.

 

im still having a lil problems with the wiring like wire the vtec, and the 4 wire o2 sensor, its a project and im deseperate to finish it but since i dont know alot of honda's i have to wait for my stepdad to help me out, so if you can help a brother out ill appreciate it

 

i guess with vtec wire it to a controller and im not sure about the rest if the sensors, I have heard that it will work tho with the 91 si parts on the y8 head.

 

i have the obd0 to obd1 ecu conversion harness

 

how much?

 

because if i cant put the 91 si dizzy and manny on the y8 head and keep it obd0 then i guess i will have the do sumthing else

 

i paid like 60 bucks for it its from rywire.com
