so you still have the d16y8 head and everthing that the y8 came with because what i would do is run p2p ecu y8 head, y8 complete intake manifold, y8 dist. on block you have to pull out the oil jet that is in the mild of the block on intake side in between 2 and 3 cylinders and that is all you should have to do

Are you getting CELs? Car running rough? Any real issues other than mismatched parts?

Leave it alone then. A mini me is nothing but a bunch of mixed up parts. If yours is not giving you any issues don't mess with it.

Neither. It's a D-series. A grocery getter. There's no performance in it from the factory. If the car runs and isn't giving you any problems then leave well enough alone.

Being 20 years old has nothing to do with it. If you don't have money to work on your car and do it right then don't touch it. That's the best advice I can give you.
