Start taking sensors and stuff off the mani, take the 8 bolts off that go from the mani to the head. Then put the mani on and hook everything back up were it goes. Some bolts are a pain the the ass to get off so have some beer on the side to help you think LOL!!!

 

thanks alot ill definitely give it a shot tomorrow. i read the installation instructions and it said something about draing all the coolant and using a 92-95 fuel rail do you know if thats true or not

 

yep, what he said lol. The only fitment issue I had on my z6 in my ej was it's really close to the firewall. But nothing major

 

yes you need to atleast drain half your coolant if not all. not sure on the fuel rail though

 

yeah u need a 92-95 fuel rail and TB if u have the 88-91 skunk 2 intake

 

the box says 88-01 civic crx del-sol(d16a,y,z) but it is going into a 90 civic hb

 

UGH, that bolt in the back, thats int he middle, is a pain in the ASS!!! Talkin about knuckle busting, lmao! good luck with that yo!!

 

you bought it BEFORE finding out if there were fitment issues??

i predict a For Sale thread in your future :razz:

 

You'll find, that if you have the older style mani, that the firewall needs a little "clearancing" with one of your larger hammers. The bolts on the IACV come in contact pretty good. I hammered the firewall, grinded down the bolt's head, and hammered the firewall behind the tps sensor.

Fitment issues? Nothing a BFH can't fix, lol! BTW, mine was installed with jimfab mounts and a hondata gasket, so my fitment may be better or worse than yours will be.

Another thing. You'll have to rig up another throttle cable linkage, since the linkage is in a different spot. I just drilled another hole in one I had laying around, and have only 1 bolt in it. It's wedged on the side though, so it can't spin on that 1 bolt.

92-95 d-series fuel rail is what mine needed. Yours will probably need the same.

good info :TU:

 

if it is for the z6 you will need a 92-95 fuel rail and if it is for the y8 you will need 96-00. the mounting points are different. if you dont drain the coolant, it will poor all over the floor when you pull the manifold off. i just put my edelbrock on yesterday and it took forever. i had to make a throttle cable bracket because mine didnt work and i had to find a way to make spacers for my fuel rail becuase it doesnt even come close to mounting flush to the manifold then, i couldnt find metric bolts that were long enough so i had to drill and helicoil the manifold to accept standard thread. there were some headaches, but i think it is worth it in the end. i had plenty of room in my eg, but i am not sure about the ef.

get a b16 tb
get a z6 rail, y8 doesnt fit.
my bracket only has 1 bolts too, but i have ebough play to tighten the cable properly.
Use flat allen bolts on the IACV. http://www.d-series.org/forums/showthread.php?t=52917

The loud vibration noise coming through your firewall is the manifold hitting it.

 

:TU:

 

"y8 doesn't fit" why? i have a y8 with s2 mani...only thing i encountered was the hole for the iat sensor, had to plug it with something.

 

yeah i had the same problem my iat sensor was to big for the hole they made which one can i use 96-00 or 93-95

 

See if you can find an ITR tb, a match made in heaven...

 

Interesting, I had a y8 and z6 rail sitting there when I was doing it, and tried the y8 first, it didn't seem to fit right, so I used the z6. Maybe I was just impatient.
Yea I forgot about the IAT, you have to shave it down. Why can't s2 just make a slightly larger hole?

i figured that was the problem
