Im looking into putting an intake manifold for my Ek hatch.

problem is i cant find one for the series engine in it.
its a d16y7.

and the only "close" manifolds that i can find for it is the d16y8. but thats a v-tec isnt it?

Please let me know any possible ways that i can work around this without having to drop in a different series engine or having to throw in a ton of money.

All comments are welcome. trying to learn

thanks.

 

Are you talking about aftermarket IMs?

 

The design of the y7 intake manifold is terrible. Your upgrades are as follows:

1) y8 intake manifold + y8 throttle body + y8 throttle cable (preferably automatic)

2) A $300-500 aftermarket intake manifold which is only marginally better than the y8 manifold. Bigger gains probably seen if you were boosting it, but n/a they aren't much better than the factory y8 manifold.

Luckily for you, I have option 1) if you would like it. It's even from an auto y8, so it should be plug and play.

It's a very noticeable upgrade for a stock y7 engine.

I would bet this would do more than an intake and a cheap aftermarket header do combined.

 

only thing i would do is go aftermarket

 

Well would the skunk2 d-series pro series intake manifold work? its 249.00 off of passwordjdm.com i believe?

 

On a stock D-series? Leave it stock unless you like wasting money.

"1) y8 intake manifold + y8 throttle body + y8 throttle cable (preferably automatic)" is a better option.

 

Sorry i know it probably sounds stupid, but why an automatic? its manual tranny.

 

Saves you a ton of wiring problems. If you don't pick it up I will. My wife's engine needs rebuilding.
