may god have mercy on your soul

You have all you need, only put your old mount from driver side into the D16y8 engine, convert to obd1, make wiring for vtec and done.

Thats what i thought but some guy at the local shop was telling me i needed a obd1 distributer so yeah..

Re: d16y8 crx swap
 

no not treally unless you want to convert your car to obd-1..if you do yes you will need an obd-1 distributor if you dont want to convert it at this time just use your distributor and bolt the motor in and wire your vtec up to a toggle switch or get an msd rpm activated one for it..

Re: d16y8 crx swap
 

yeah i plan on going obd-1 and then boosting it.

That's what every noob plans on doing. including me

Re: d16y8 crx swap
 

you can use a odb2 distributor so if the y8 still has it your good. you will need to wire the 4 wire o2 in as well

repin dizzy for obd1

Re: d16y8 crx swap
 

I think, first put that y8, leave it obd0 and make shure it starts.

Second, convert to obd1 if you want
