Looking to buy the vtec head d16y8 with intake manifold to do a swap but im not sure, will it fit and what else do i need. thanks.

 

Vtech head wont fit since they make home phones

A vtec head will work after you convert to mpfi and.obd1 and wire up vtec

 

Lols ... thanks for the reply

 

You can buy this harnessss

Get a p28 ecu and you'll be straight

you can save yourself money by doing it yourself, its not all that hard. there have been lots of write ups that are very helpful.

 

Don't need a resistor box if using obd1 injectors

Some of those prices are

 

"Mechanic" hahahahaha fck that **** do it yourself its easy as fuqq.


I can give you that injector box for $10 shipped.

 

Thank you all for the replies. Some of the parts are still on order waiting for shipment,
I am still goggling a lot on how to do the swap, once Im confident enough i might go follow you guys to ditch the mechanic.

 

yes all 4 injectors came complete on D16Y8 head with intake manifold, I bought the resistor because the guy who help me out at the auto parts said i need it.


This is my first project car and i have search and price match parts i need but i guess i am not searching harder. : (

Thank you

 

hey guys i just did a d16y8-d15b7 mini me swap runs fine but got a really fast low high idle fluxuation any ideas i pluged each hole in the tb seperatly didn make a difference

 

its either a vacuum leak or distributor timing so check those

 

iat sensor? i have the same problem only because i havent made a hole into my intake manifold or air intake...

 

It will for sure fit. Lots of us have done it already, I just finished mine. Did a straight MPFI conversion (PM6 ECU) for now using the late injectors, so no resistor box. Runs like a champ. Plans are to move to P28 and VTEC in the future. Been driving it OBD0 for six months, so nice to move out of that!

 

You probably spun a rod bearing or bent a rod. Water and compression don't get along. Did you pull all the plugs out and turn the motor over to get rid of the water?

 

 

You probably should have started a new post since your question has absolutely nothing to do with the original post.

 

What is the point of having a search bar if nobody is going to use it...

I remember when i was a kid and my cousin had to figure this **** out on his own before Honda-Tech

 

I want to do a head swap on my ef... I think my d15 has about 70hp left in her. This one seems pretty easy.. what are realistic gains from doing this?
