    You would have to do some wiring, because of the iacv differences. and of course not having vtec.

    yes and no i would not do it. you would need a y7 ecu. your y8 ecu will throw a code for vtec and the knock sensor that are not there on a y7. also the y7 and y8 also have diffrent intake manafolds so your intake will not work as well as other little issues like your th cable no working

    I think i talked to you today.

    You have to repin your ECU for the 3 wire IAC, and the intake tube is different.

    my swap comes with an ECU so i have you covered there and i can show you what to swap out
