    I just finished swapping a d16y8 intake and head on to my automatic d16y7. On the manuals this swap seems to have been done a ton of times, because all you need to do is swap in an ecu from a y8. With the automatic this is not possible as the y8 and y7 have different transmissions. To get around...

    Hey, I just replaced my head, made sure the deck surface was flat with a high end staedler steel ruler* then swapped it onto my block with a brand new oem headgasket, and now facing some overheating problems. Before I rip the head back off and potentially pointlessly replace the gasket, you guys...

    98 D16Y8 ECU P2P K71 I feel that vtec doesnt engage, so I checked the selenoid and found out that I have no oil pressure switch. No green conector, just a screw. Is that normal? How can I check if vtec is working propperly?

Can someone help me with that? I bought a d15b cam to install it into my d16y8 head, I also bought an adjustable Cam...

    Hello all, just need a bit of help here, thanks in advance. But my plans are boosting it, so once I get everything I need I’m going to slap it all together. But here is what I have currently and I wanted to know what else I would need to complete the swap or if what I got is what’s needed...

    So, I'm a noob when it comes to tuning. I have no idea what I need or anything. I have a 99 civic ex with the d16y8, no vtec. It's a 5 speed with some mods. Mostly small things like intake manifold and exhaust are aftermarket. So I want to make the car run smoother and every tuning shop around...

    I've got a 1997 d16y7 which I'm planning on doing a y7/y8 mini me swap with, and I want to disassemble the y8 head and get it inspected, resurfaced, etc. I don't know what specific tools i would need to dissassemble the head. I'm guessing that i would need a valve tool, but I am curious if there...

    Hi, I’ve been searching a bunch of forums and have not found any answers that solve my problems. So the motor is a D16Y8 with a P72 ecu. I don’t have a CEL as the motor is in a classic mini. I have hooked up a light to pin 13 on plug A to ecu (Malfunction Indicator Light) according to things...

    To start off I’ll say I don’t have a ton of experience working on engines and don’t know a ton. I recently bought a sixth gen civic (a ‘96 civic ex coupe to be exact) with a D16Y8 (I think) Vtec in it. It’s a four speed automatic. I was told it was stored for an undisclosed amount of time in a...

    got my engine back from the shop (y8 head, Z6 block, z6 camshaft) guy told me as I was picking up my motor that the rockers on my y8 assembly were worn and that it would be better if I swapped them with a set of z6 rockers from an assembly I had sent him with a z6 head that was too damaged in...

    As the title says the y8 cam was toast when I got the head so please don’t say “get a y8 cam” I eventually will get a stage 2 but right now I’m stuck with a stock z6 cam. I know I need a adjustable cam gear that corresponds with the cam which is a z6 cam but I need to know what timing belt...

    I have a 1998 DX auto, the engine has 293k mi on it and is probably burning a quart or more oil a week (400mi or so) so it is definitely done lol. I want vtec and manual trans so I was going to swap in a y8 and manual combo into it when I can. What parts do I need to do this? Here’s what I have...
