If i have a D16y7, and i put the sohc vtec head on it.... i would also need to use the y8 ecu? and harness?

or how would i need to swap everything?

 

yes you have to have a vtec harness and ecu. if its a y8 or a z6. i heard of people just using a vtec controller but never goes over well

 

I love these. Doing a head swap with no parts list or directions? Check the FAQs. There are links for mini-me swaps.

VTEC controllers are fail. Especially when wiring VTEC is so easy.

 

thank you. I just bought my first civc... and have been looking around here... but thank you for the help.

So if i did that i'd basically have the sohc vtec right....

 

I guess you don't know where the FAQs are.
