Hey gurl much props to you i mean shit u did a swap! My gurl drives a 2000 si and she did i/h/e herself with a LITTLE help from her gurl cuzin LOL. Hey flow how did u come up with that name??

well thanks everybody! actually, i wish i didn't like cars soooo much...i spend too much damn money (LOL)

yes, jason it is running. however, the v-tec isn't hooked up. i dropped my d16a6 ECU back in. i'm going to get a d16y8 distributor and then hook the p28 ecu back up and everything will be all good :D

as for you TRAVIS don't you worry about that! :evillaugh and you think after mine is broken in that i won't be up there? what fun is racing if you don't get the chance to challenge your friends? ;)

Haha...swapping is fun. You learn so much while doing it and once you get it running you can look back and see that you did all the work yourself.;) I never said swaps go smoothly though..lol;)

hey, i got my name from.. my car club... hehehe

Not to be a dark cloud on your sunny day Ami :eek: :D

But I'd like to ask everyone, i know when a normal Vtec car jumps to the big cam, the fuel is increased, is their any risk of running just a RPM switch on the vtec solinid without the little kick of fuel?

Also Ami...I know the centerforce is nice and all...BUT DEAR GOD LET IT BREAK IN AT LEAST!!! lol, just keepin you from glazing yours like i did to mine back in the day ;)

Good to see it running though, tell me some details online sometime!

Ill be swapping soon.....shouldn't be too hard:rolleyes:

Yeh. I like working on it but its a real pain man!:( :)

Are you still using your stock Si wiring harness? I've done the same swap:silly2:, but I bought the VAFC to control the Vtec and Air Fuel curve.
Now I am working on getting the conversion harness so I can run the P28, but I think you can still us the Si Distributor.
Does anyone have any input on this?:jump:

I didn't read the ZC vs. D16Y8 tread before I wrote this. So I retract my Q about the distributor.

...yeah, OBD0 dizzy's and OBD1 ecu's dont jive.... it'll be nice, then you wont have a rigged up distributor on there anymore and you'll be able to set your timeing ;) (assuming you've got a z6)

i honestly can not believe how easy it was to do :alien:

What car does the D16Y8 come from? Is it a JDM engine?

Since everyones talkin' smack about the ZC on the hybrid board, I'm considdering this swap. But I wanna know if I can use the Greddy 92-95 Civic turbo kit on the D16Y8 (as well as my current headers)...

the d16y8 and d16z6 are both sohc v-tec. the d16z6 is in the (USDM) 92-95 Si/EX Civic. the d16y8 is in the (USDM) Del SoL and 96-00 Civic Ex.

i don't see why you couldn't use the Greddy kit. and my header, intake, and cam gear from my d16a6 (4th gen Si) all fit.

the sohc v-tec and the sohc non v-tec are both d series engines. they are basically the same with small changes. most parts from one will bolt on another :)
