So I've already started looking into the EX intake manifold and tranny swap for my HX. Does anyone know if I can just swap out the intake manifolds (EX for my HX) without any sort of ECU error? If so, how easy is this process? I've heard that it sucks because of a tranny mount under the intake manifold, but that was just hearsay, so...
Also, I'm looking for the y8 intake mani cheap, so if anyone has one lying around or knows where I can get one cheap, let me know.

 

No. If you keep the Y5 head you need the Y5 manifold.

 

Wow, that blows... so let down... Oh well... So, suggestions for making this thing any quicker, besides the tranny swap, which I just don't have the funds to do right now? I've already read the SOHC upgrade topic, so don't point me there. Any other suggestions?

 

turbo it, one of the honda sohc engines that have more trq than HP

type in d16y5 in the search under archived. you'll find alot especially information from spade. i did my research because i'll be getting an HX soon.

 

Yeah, get rid of the D16Y5.
