what do i need to do this swap?

[bigbadjohn07]

i want to swap my y7 head and intake mani to the y8 head and intake mani.

i might have a head that only needs the v-tech solenoid to be complete.IDK yet i haven't picked it up yet


after that i know what i need as for as the intake mani goes thanks to the other diy listing on that subject so any help on the head and how to hook up v-tech and wire it up or whatever will be very much appreciated and


WILL REP ANY INFO THANKS.

i also think this needs to be moved to the general tech

Either wire in the 3-wire iacv or get an auto TB. Wire vtec. and a few other little things. Not hard at all. :goodjob:

for starters you will need new head bolts cause when you take yours out you cant use them agian because they are stretch bolts! you will also need a new headgasket just to be safe! and a vtec ecu not sure on the ecu code for ek but you can get a jumper harness and run a p28!

That's actually wrong. You can re-use the headbolts. You'll need to add about 5 extra pounds when you torque them down. Although getting new head bolts is the better way to go. The ecu should be a p2e for the OBDII, Not 100% sure.
I'd go with the P28. For one, it only reads one O2 sensor.

pretty sure It's a p2p, not p2e though :goodjob:

so basically your saying get new headbolts:D

[jcs]

i have seen oh so many who reuse theirs

[MugenCrx]

you can reuse headstuds

[Master Shake]

maybe its me, but could he swap the head, and use the y8 harness? to save time on wiring in the vtec and whatnot?

[J-ROCK]

you can reuse headstuds


but would YOU re-use headstuds? cause i would get arp just for the insurance that i wont have to fix anything

[bigbadjohn07]

ok im getting new head studs now all i need to know about is all the wiring situation

thanks guys keep it coming

yall are helping a beginner motor builder lol

I typed in d16 head swap in googlr found a great write up!!! withj pics and everything

[GAtegs]

VTEC.

[r_Senik]

what about the oil squirter thingy on the intake mani side..between piston 2 and 3.
also i would just put pm7 pistons and a nice cam on the y7 head

[88civic_hatc]

a vtec ecu some wires and solder i dont recomend but splices they wont last forever i aint hard you could probly find a how to on google or somthing let me know how it goes and you gotta run some oil lines to the head for vtec

[S.Brewer]

GL with this. I am gonna go Y8 head and ecu on my DPFI D15b2. I know as mentioned, head gasket, ecy, intake and may wanna re do some seals and all while its apart. GL!
