Hi, im wanting to put a d16y8 into an hx. Ive done some online reseach and everyone seems to just put the y8 head on the y5. Im wanting to just replace the whole motor believe to have a cracked piston (motor is eating oil at pepboys it says im missing on all four cyclinders..Replaced plugs, wires, distributor cap; idle is still low and am at a loss of power if anyone can help me fix that for the time being it would be appreciated) . Im new to this and have never swapped a motor; whats needed to do the swap? I couldnt find if it was obd1 or 2 either. Also any other motor recommendations? was thinking about a z6 but there a little harder to find. Im on a bit of a limited budget so please keep that in mind. Thanks for yalls time hope to hear back from you.

 

Should be plug and Play but you'll have some plugs left over (EGR). Also run a P2P ecu. Does your HX have the 5 wire primary o2?

 

So new ecu, I looked on the forum and found out i do have the 5wire primary o2? will i need another adapter? should i get new motor mounts?

So as of right now i will need a motor and ecu.

 

Heres where it said about the o2.

So aftrr reading some of the really nice faqs, I learned that the hx tranny kinda blows lol, so that being said since im pulling or dropping the motor out anyway, should I change out the trannsmission for that of the y8? How diffiicult will thay be or what would I need to make that work? Also the clutch in my hx is like new could I put that on the y8 trans or should I kust get a new one.. Anyone in the greenville area wann help lol.

 

easy just remove the bolts of the engine dat connects the tranny shold be 7 bolts and go under ur car and removing the shift liknkage

 

So everything shoild just bolt in more or less?

 

Sounds like you have quite a bit of reading to do.

 

Yes everything from the transmission part will swap over.

Also for the O2 these two links might help

The one is for an h22, thanks for the help I will def need these. im assuming this y8 is a four wire. Im from sc and Im pretty sure we dont have emission tests or anything is there any way to just delete the 02 sensor? And now thay I asked I will be googling it shortly lol.

 

I found a guy on craigslist with a running 07 civic coupe 1.8 (b18) and a 5spped tranny. 41k miles he wants 600... Shoould I jump from what ive found thats a really good price. Im not sure which b18, but its gotta be better then the y8 right lol

 

1.8 doesn't automatically mean B-series.

 

He said it was a b18, although he didnt sound very sure lol.
