i am putting a turbo on my d16y7 motor in my 1996 honda civic dx!!! i was looking to add vtec to my motor!!! i have the head off a d16y8 and a vtec solinoid!! i still need the ecu!!! i was wonder what all i would need to do to turn my d16y7 into a d16y8 with vtec!! any suggestions would be a great help!!!

 

search. its kinda a pain to put a VTEC head and ECU in a D16y7 car but i can be done ( its all in the wiring)

 

just use a fucken vafc

 

Onyx is referring to the differences in between the two engines as far as wiring goes. Remember that the Y8 engine uses a knock sensor, so you're going to have to go to OBD1 (get a conversion harness) in order to avoid throwing that code for it.

My car originally came with a d16y7, I blew the motor up. I bought a y8 block and a z6 head, and Onyx did all the wiring - they are almost completely different (its pathetic) I mean from little things like the 3 wire TPS, etc, etc.

Be sure that if you're slapping a y8 head on there that you go ahead and find a y8 intake manifold, and slap it on as well. You should be able to get one fairly cheap.

 

i wont respond positively to anyone who uses exclamation points when saying they have a dx....***

 

lol, i was just gonna say something about the exclamations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

but you could do a mini me and use a VAFC to cotroll VTEC. that would be the easiest ways to do it. and keep the y7 intake.

 

y7 intake mani is junk
