I picked up a d16y8 today. I got a block, head, and intake mani for $250. The block needs rings and possibly bearings. the head is in absolute perfect shape and the intake mani has all the sensors except the MAP. I think the mani may be from a z6. The parts wernet all from the same motors. Is this a good deal? also, id still like to run a Si ecu and get a vtec controller to avoid having to wire to odb1. What are some possible problems i will encounter putting this motor in? also, what is different from the install of the d16z6? i know there are some different sensors, but do not know what they are. thanks
oh yeah, this will be going into a 1991 dx hatchback.

What ecus could i use? i know that i can use a pm6 from a Si, but what other ecus could i use? i would still rahter use a seperate vtec controller. I want to get my MPFI working on my 1.5 ASAP, so that when i put in the y8 it will drop right in, less vtec.

use ur mpfi harness to a obd1 to obd0 harness adapter to a p28 ecu. thats what im going to do. still gonna run a vafc and chip the ecu.

 

if you dont want to wire to obd1, then i think you can use a pg7 ecu from a 88-89 integra. It has a higher rev limit then the pm6. it's also better for some other fuel timing curves or somthing like that. .
