So i finally got my Y8 manifold and i get the swap info from that website everyone posts on how to do the swap...Well on the part where they seal those ports on the back of the manifold confuses me because mine are closed off.....you can take a look at some pics at this site (go to D16Y8 album ) http://community.webshots.com/user/hondaae83. So what do i need to seal up then?

Also to those who have done this swap, is it really worth it or is there hardly a difference. My motor isnt stock, i have I/H/E so will i feel a better difference then say if it were stock?

Man a lot of people dont fully read!!!! I have already been to that site....as i already stated in my first post. Next as i again stated in my first post that they are sealing the IAC location, except on mine it seems to have been sealed already, like it looks like thats how it came from Honda. So if that is closed off (YOU CAN LOOK AT THE PICS IN THAT LINK ) is there any other parts that need to be closed off?

Still searching for comments on the performance also of this manifold.

I didnt see anything in your post about this website, only about the photoalbum. Sorry trying to be helpful

That is the only site i know of that has a full DIY on the swap, and that EVERYONE posts for doing the swap.

 

I dont know the year of the manifold.

 

it is from a 5 speed right??

 

I believe it is a 1999 ex, i believe that is wht the seller told me but i am unsure if its an auto or 5-speed

Is there a place to mount a IACV on the back of the intake?

 

No it doesnt look like it, Pics can be found at that link in the first post

 

 

your intake is for an automatic

 

Is this bad for me? What do i need to do?

 

its not bad. it just means you don't have to plug any holes

 

Cool thank you. What about these air injection holes i heard that come on 99-00s

 

I didn't see any on your intake.

 

well the question was already answered. I bought the 5psd model for my automatic. Im going to use the IACV off the y8 manifold and just loop the hose to solve the vaccum line.

 

Thank you very much guys.

What about performance now?
What do you think i shop would charge to install this, i have like 0 time to do it myself.

 

you will definately notice a jump in acceleration.
as for the cost to install.. it took me about two hours the last time I did one.

 

Okay, as stated, you have an auto 99-00 intake manifold. If you were local I'd toss it on for 50 bucks. As far as performace goes, it's definately a step up from the Y7 intake mani. When I put this intake mani on my car (97 hatchy) I just JB welded the hole shut and it's been fine. Just let it cure for 24 hours before you put it on. If you have any specific questions and decide to do it yourself pm me or something.
