I just baught a 96 civic hatch dx. Its got the d16y7 and it needs more power. Ive been searching this site for a week now and found tns of good stuff. I fgure that i should probablly start with the y8 intake manifold swap. Is this a hard swap and do i need anything other than the manifold? Gaskets or tb. Yo guys all sem to know your shit and there isnt a lot of places for me to go for help here in maine.

your in Maine? my man Chris ( civic4ges ) is up there
welcome to our home
and getting rid of the y7 manifold would be your best upgrade for the least amount of money
you will need y8 manifold + manifold gasket + new t/b gasket , extend some wires and im PRETTY sure you can re-use your y7 t/b ( which is what I did )
I believe 2redstars and a few others have done complete write ups on the manifold swap
hope you can find everything your looking for
you CAN reuse the y7 tb, you just need to get another throttle spring or adjust the y7, i did the swap, but luckly i had a couple other tb laying around so i took the spring off of a z6 tb.

i have another auto y8 throttle body and intake manifold....your gonna need an auto seeing as how the y7 has the three wire rotary IACV just like the auto y8. your injectors will work as well as your fuel rail. this is a pretty straight forward swap...lol....i had to machine an auto y8 manifold to work with a manual y8 IACV and c5 throttle body. let me know if you want the manifold.
