[smokeymicpoter56]

ok my friend owns a car shop thats builds and puts motor swaps in and he owes me money soo i only have to pay 900 for it. here it is i have a 90 civic 4 door dx and hes going to put a d16y8 in it. can that be dun in that car or has it been dun before? and can i use my 90 civic clutch or do i got to get a 99 d16y8 for that eninge? and well puting a d16y8 really be wroth it?

[Masta]

yes, that swap can be done. i hardly see that anywhere though too so props to you! If i were you, i would get a 90-91 CRX Si transmission and slap it on the y8. If your planning on using your transmission, then yes, you can use your clutch.

Smokeymcpot, how many times have you dun forgot your password and had to get a new name?! Its hilarious.

Write it down on a post-it and stick it to your monitor!


Oh ya, the swap can be done no problem.

ami rocks the y8. where the hell has she been by the way??

[civickiller]

the y8 swap has been done so many times its not even funny.

if the y8 motor came with a clutch and flywheel and its in better condition then your 90 clutch then use the y8 clutch. if your 90 clutch is in better condition then use your 90 clutch and flywheel. jsut remember whatever year clutch you use, you should use the same flywheel

ok soo where can i find parts for the y8? there not much that i can find and how much better is it than the z6 and how much worse is it than the b16a? i know i keep changing names but i have had this one the longest and im trying to keep it. how much dif well i feel in it than my d15b2? the freaky thing is i beat the shit out of 95 civic ex's all the time and i dont get why all i have is stage one light wight dun and port and polish and intake and header? thanks for the info.

[civickiller]

pretty much anywhere you find parts for b series, you can find them for d series. d series is popular too. the y8 has a few more hp than the z6 and aobut 30 less than the 160hp b16. the d15b2 is rated at 92hp the y8 is 127 i believe. so its almost a 35hp jump so you should feel that.

also wtf is a stage 1 light weight. someones been playing too much gran turismo.

[smokeymicpoter56]

that was just a easy way to put it with out saying. i toke out the rear seats every thing off the walls every thing out of the dash i dont need. toke out the heater. no fans in the car nohting in the trunk.

[civickiller]

well you shouldnt call it stage 1 weight reduction, makes you look really ricey and dont know much about cars. a gentle way of asying it makes you look stupid

[Scott82]

It's gotta look good and go good. cant be one or the other but both

[Hilikus Funkin]

props to all who gut their car, i prefer to have a full interior and go faster with it. Race cars dont impress me. Full street cars impress me.

[kingpinn]

Hilikus Funkin and me think the same unless i had done everything that could be done and that was the only thing left . then maybe i would gut my can but not untill then....

[smokeymicpoter56]

yeah i have the 4dooor dx and i hate 4door cars but i like to get reckless ticket's and i can only handle 4 door insurance. soo i take everything out soo its only a 2 seater plus its a light car to start with and i like to go as fast as you can. im going to try to get around 160 out of the d16y8 thats all i really want out of it.
