D16Y7 head swap

Schwanger

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.

you will need a new tranny too because the gearing is steeper get an si or ex tranny and you should notice a diffrence

He will not "Need" a new tranny, but a ex/si tranny would be shorter.

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.

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).

You're missing that huh?

I can help. VTEC SUCKS! VAD, VVT and <insert random mazda engine acronym> is where it's at.

I'm still trying to decide if it's worth swapping heads. I think I have some stuck rings, my oil is as black as the ace of spades.
