Re:vtec head swap????? help
 

Hey man, for info on the oil orifice jet, check out this guy's VTEC swap. I have used it as a reference ever since I began to think about a Mini-Me on my own.

Hey I don't know much about the whole ECU situoation, so I will just make a suggestion. Won't you have to upgrade your ECU to OBDII if you use a d16y8 head and VTEC ECU? Currently you are OBDI, same as my car, and with a d16z6 you need NO conversion wiring harness -- the VTEC ECU fits right on in place of stock (the conversion harness is like an extra $100). Any thoughts, guys?

Re:vtec head swap????? help
 

he would still need to add the proper VTEC wires because he doesnt have a vtec engine in there right now. Unless honda made one harness for every car with all the wires with or without vtec engine, man wouldnt that be nice :)

ever since i put the header on i noticed that when it was cold and i started it and it tends to "miss" its got somewhat of a dancing idle speed my mechanic said the header was loading up?? what ever that means and i was wondering if the new y8 head and injectors will affect this in any way
