d16y7
 

is a y7 a ok motor to build? strengths/weaknesses compared to other d16's? i might be getting one dirty cheap or possibly free and attempting a budget build for boost. is the y8 head alot better? id rather not go with a vtec head unless theres a worthwhile gain in flow or somthing.

Re: d16y7
 

nothing wrong with a Y7... build that ---- up... i got some SRP pistons for sale ;)

Re: d16y7
 

is it worthit to swap a y8 manifold on to it? it would get boosted anyways so i dont know, i do remember when i turbo'd a friends y7 i had to download special scripts n ---- to get the thing to run right cause of the 3 wire iacv

Re: d16y7
 

only three wire from the automatic equipped vehicle, swap the manifold and your golden, or even the iacv.

Re: d16y7
 

no, there 3 wire in all y7 auto or 5 speed, y8 auto are 3 wire

Re: d16y7
 

i already converted my harness to 2 wire anyways for my ls motor.

Re: d16y7

New to the site --- but this is a good topic to post on.
Just boosted my 98 civic d16y7 motor this past wk-end. Runs strong, and was a very easy conversion minus a couple of small hold ups...like getting that nasty 14 code to clear (iavc)...pretty sure its just a bad sensor at this point though ??? we shall see - havn't been able to locate a replacement yet >:(

swap the y7 mani with the y8. the y7 is small and weaksauce

Re: d16y7
 

word. do the ports match? how bout a z6 manifold, i think i know where to get one cheap.. the y7 manifold really doesnt seem that bad, it looks like it would flow even they way it spits off from the middle, but it does have small runners i guess
