Recently i bought a manual manifold which is the y8 and im trying to swap it into my AUTO d16y7 engine what i realize is that the y8 has a IACV on the back, Do i have to use this IACV or i can simply remove it? Because all the DIY threads i seen doesn't even have IACV on them...


Has anyone did a y7 to y8 mani swap before and can give me any tips.

I bought the y8 with everything on is so i have all the things i need for this swap to go easy.

 

Block the IACV on the back of the IM off and reuse the Y7 throttlebody. You will need a pulley from a Y8 throttlebody (most other D-series engines should work actually)

Also, use the Y7 injectors.

 

Thanks, wasn't sure about the IACV, But I do have the pulley and injectors for the y7. Guess im ready for the swap!

 

You need the pulley from a Y8, also the throttle cable (cable needs to come from an automatic, the pedal end is different.

 

When we say pulley do you mean the ROTOR? And im going to use my Y7 cable for now until i find a Y8 cable, Pick N Pull been gay lately, And thanks i never new auto & manual cars have different pedal ends!

 

Yeah rotor

 

Cool thanks seems like i have everything i need, Just bought longer hoses and will swap ASAP!

Besides y8 bracket and y8 cable
