D16Y7 head swap
-
that much i was aware of, being as the ex civic has the only vtec sohc (to the best of my knowledge); i was just thinking that he must've made a typo that would successfully confuse anyone that didn't know much about the d-series
ps- i am right about the engine codes, aren't i? -

What the hell is a D16Y8?? HAHA, I guess it doesn't matter, it is still going to be slow.
HONDA'S SLOW LOLLOLLLLOOLOOOLLO NOT A DSM LOLOLOLO, OWN3D!!!!!Anyway if he has a 96-00 civic the LX,DX,CX all came with d16y7's. ( 6th Gen. )
Now if we are talking 5th gen then it would be a d15y7 that came in the VX,DX,LX,CX but then he would want to swap a d16z6 head on to his block so we can assume he is talking about a 6th gen civic.The HX model also comes with a SOHC VTEC engine. ( d16y5 )

isn't there a d16y8? i thought those were in the 96-00 civic ex?maybe i am thinking of the d16y7? my g/f has a d16z6 and supposedly the d16yx has a better intake manifold? correct me if i'm wrong. its been awhile, i gave up on her d16 and am just aiming for a swap.

Just to get this all straight. I have a 97 (6th gen) CX with a D16Y7 and I want to take the head off a 6th gen EX which has a D16Y8 (SOHC VTEC). One question I have is if my stock intake manifold will fit on the new head.If you put that intake setup on that head you might as well just not even bother swapping anything. Just order a full Y8 or Z6, their so damn cheap anyways.

All D-series IM are interchangeable. I'm with Nick on this one get the y8 it will flow to the head better then your y7 would. -
ok sorry its just not going to be worth the swap with the taller gears of a cx tranny, a dx is pushing it, i had a friend do a mini me swap last summer and he had a dx tranny in his car, he swaped it out for a si and was running mid 15 all motor

Sorry, I must have got myself under the skin of the ricers...Maybe I under-estimated the d18ycj4ttyjp9er's potential!! haha.
JK have fun with your Honda. Just trying to be a smart ass. Oh, yeah, I did have pretty much the fastest street car around, minus Dave. I will have a quick car again soon. Watch out, it might have a famed d18ycj4ttyjp9er in it!! :rolleyes:

Yeah, I was there to see your 10.80 run. Don't worry we know how fast you are. All of us Honda guys just get tired of getting shit on every time we make a thread.<u>HONDAAREFUCKINGSLOWVTECVETC</u> ext. gets old real quick.

Whats with the jackass comment man? Is it honestly needed? The kid is just asking if he can swap a better head onto his block to get a little more power. Why are you calling people ricers for wanting more power?
Its a damn engine code-im sure you know that, but whatever

I think the "JK have fun with your honda" statement was supposed to let those of us that can read know that he was joking around (like 99% of everyone else on here does).
