I've got a 98 dx hatch and on a budget. What would be the cheapest VTEC swap available? Maybe just a top end swap?

 

A Y8 mini-me would be fairly simple. You'll just need the complete head, ECU, and the ability to run some wires.

No reason to, though. The power difference is negligible, to say the least.

 

So sell my z6 head and a6 intake manifold? I wouldn't need the intake mani from the y8?

 

Get an intake from a Y8 automatic.

 

So just the Y8 intake manifold will convert it to VTEC? I'm not the smartest guy on here but that don't seem likely? Unless I mis understood lol! Which I probably did!

 

Where did I say that? Reread the thread. You asked about intakes a minute ago. All I'm talking about is the intake manifold. I didn't say a blessed thing about VTEC.

 

OP needs to visit the FAQ's

Desperately.

 

You have a Z6 head, you could use that to do a mini-me...

Seriously. Search. Read. Learn.

 

I posted another thread before and someone wanted to make me sound stupid by saing I didn't know wtf I was talking about when I had said I needed a Z6 dizzy, wiring harness and ecu to use with the z6 head that I have and the a6 intake mani. Idk

 

And? Whats your point?

 

This thread really hasnt disproved that...

again

Search. Read. Learn.

 

Why you gotta be a d*ck bro? Wtf is your problem? You really think I just got on here and started posting sh*t and not trying to figure it out through search? Why not just start a thread and have the info I need in one spot and can just scroll through it?

 

Okay so I'll word it this way... "Could anyone help me out and tell me if I could use the Z6 head and A6 intake mani?, and what else would I need?

 

Wasnt being a dick and dont have a problem...goes to show not everyone can post text on a site and be able to know what emotion came with that text. Calm down and quite being so sensitive.




Couldnt understand at all if that was a question or not...doesnt make much sense why you replied this to jbpnoman with what he said.

 

I was telling him that I was told I was stupid for wanting to use the z6 head because obd1/obd2 connecting issues? Idk wtf he was talking about but it's making me want to just do a complete Y8 swap

 

ahh gotcha...I see what your saying

A full y8 swap would be easier but z6 head on y7 block has been done in 96-00 civics many and ah many times

You don't need to START that thread because that thread already EXISTS.

Read the FAQs sticky. It's there for a reason. We help those who help themselves. You obviously haven't.
