hey, as the title says.I drive a 88crx hf and i was wondering what i needed to do the swap from a d15b6 to a d16y8 . and also, can i use a z6 distributor for the swap?

THanks Eric

 

word, id like to know the same, free bump

 

You would want to either run the 88~91 MPFI distributor (your HF wone will work just fine) if you stay OBD-0.

If you go OBD-1 -

It would be easier to run the Y8 distributor if it comes with the Y8 motor.
You can't run the OBD-0 distributor with the OBD-1 ECU and vice-versa.
If your Y8 doesn't come with a distributor, then you can use the non-D16Z6 OBD-1 distributor on the Y8 head.
They bolt right up with the right bolt pattern. You "can" run the Z6 distributor, BUT the bolt holes won't line up and you will have to modify the distributor or make brackets (look at the mini-me write-up for what gets done to fit the OBD-0 distributor to the Z6 head and do similar, but reverse).


You will want to use your HF harness on the Y8 motor.
Anything else will just be a pain.

 

yea thanks for the info, I think im going obd1 just cause i have one in hand and i whouldnt need a vtec controller if i do.
