I got a great deal at the yard today and pulled a complete Y8 head from a 98 including IM TB fuel rail, injectors, sensors, etc (From the block up) for 25$. Also, I have never seen an engine and head in such good condition (no evidence of overheating, I think it was factory maintained, perfect.

Anyway, I have a classmate of a friend that is a ricer and would ---- himself if he had VTEC in his CRX and is willing to pay me ~600-700 dollars to have me put in his car and change the T-belt and a quick tune with my wideband.

The only question I had is, it is worth the trouble swapping over the other stuff besides the head (IM TB) horsepower wise. If its not, Ill just take off the IM and swap in the head and I wont have to worry about wiring and coolent lines, etc.

Thanks in advance

The Y8 intake is the best OEM D series intake manifold you can use. You can always sell that seperate on Egay though.

assuming its a manual y8 intake manifold most everything can be used. You just need to swap the injectors from the crx in the y8 manifold and the rest will work fine.

the y8 mani woill work fine, there is no wiring change.

make sure you pull the oil control jet in the block cause the head already has one and if you dont vtec wont engage. youll need to use the a6 distributor, which will bolt right up to a y8 head. the oddball is the 92=95 d series dists. youll wanna use the y8 timing belt, and also to activate vec either use a vafc, an rpm switch or convert to obd1, which i recommend for the use of uberdata down the road if u go turbo

I think it would be easier to sell me the whole thing for $125 shipped.

Yeah, I was going to pick up a y8 belt and use the A6 dizzy. I was going to go TE with a PS9 to activate VTEC. I was going to take his PM6 as a trade so Ill also have a chipped PM6 for sale. And yeah I know about the injectors.

A side note, good to see you posting again, hope your feeling better.

This was the question I wanted answered. This is going onto someone else's car (friends acquaintance who doesn't know Hondas) and wanted to know if it it would add like 1hp for a lot more work. Too bad it wont bolt to my ZC or else I would

You were offing me 75$ shipped in my other post I can install it in a afternoon and do the 1 hour TE tune and make 600-700$. Not a hard choice, sorry man, Im too poor to let it go.

i'd do it..700 bucks just to slap on a head.dudes its easy..do it...i dont think that a6 dizzy will work with that head..

hotrex

its does to work

Nod.. hotrex is right the a6 dizzy bolts right on the y8 head.. unlike the z6 head.
