Great video with good info on this swap bro. Keep up the good work.

[@pooch9068]

you probably have figured it out by now, but i just did this swap and i was having the same kind of idling problem, idles high and when i give it throttle it would drop and start surging up and down. the problem was i had the MAP sensor and TPS sensor swapped around on accident, they look the exact same so it is an easy mistake to make for anyone having the same problem

[@rjaybruhh]

*_Looking into this add well! Want to get a 3 point strut bar, but not sure if it will fit with the Y7 intake since it goes up and beds. Meanwhile the Y8 is just like flat. I'll try to attempt the install and if not I'll have to do the Y8 intake conversation 🥹_*

[@SpencerHogg]

nice job on the install dude

[@backyardbuilthondas1284]

Thanks!!

[@allgasnobrakes1665]

You should’ve got the 96-98 y8 auto manifold less headache

Good inlet manifold swap dude! Should hear the vtec very well and it probably gave you an extra 10-15bhp with the inlet conversion! I have done a z6 inlet conversion on my civic ep2 before (similar to the em2 but it's a hatchback!). Although, I had to cut out the z6 plates and weld on the d16v1 plates to fit onto my engine and use the d16v1 throttle body! Got more plans for the ep2 too; do you have anymore plans for the ej9?

[@smokey11206]

MrCherrys dude it’s a Y7 head, meaning no VTEC

[@bretthege189]

Did u ever get the right gasket and did it help ur rpms go down ? Thinking I’m having the same problem

[@eduardoramirez2361]

How did you connect the iac valve from the y7 to thw y8 iac valve???

[@JHigh3]

So do I still block off the IAC valve, regardless of manual or auto?

[@juani749]

Hello. If i have a Y8 automatic intake manifold to swap on my Y7 automatic, should i have to put the Y7 throttle body or i can use de Y8 throttle body because both are AT? Thanks!!

[@jamesmatthew7528]

Yo i just did the y8 swap and I don't think I did the small hoses under the y8 right? Help it won't start now? Idk if I'm flooding it or what?

[@trevorgrooms4398]

How do you get the fuel injector wires to reach?

[@flintstonebedrock4820]

Hey man the other guy said the gasket you need those little notches

[@davidcarter7866]

I just put a d15b duel vtec motor in my hatchback ek and it wont start withecu they gave me but it starts with stock non vtec ecu but sounds like shit runs terrible...ecu I got with motor is out of automatic so is motor..my car is 5 speed will 5 speed ecu fix this or can I rig the ecu i have

[@francusati]

Esto realmente vale la pena? Se logra algo de verdad con este cambio?

[@joshhoover2749]

Why didnt u get a y8 head with the manifold an do the mini me swap woth the y8 harness an ecu its all plug an play..

[@backyardbuilthondas1284]

I just had the y8 manifold

[@joshhoover2749]

Oh ok i didnt know but yea its better just to do a mini me u know with the harness an ecu i understand.. but i like your videos you doing a job with the cars.. i cant wait to see the end result on the em1 an the hatch..

[@backyardbuilthondas1284]

Me to !! em1 videos coming next week hopefully!!

[@treywilson1226]

So a stock y8 ecu and harness will plug and play when i swap my y8 head on my y7 engine

[@melitonaunor4125]

Any performance upgrades with swapping the manifolds? Or just money waste ?

[@freakyflirt420ful]

Meliton Aunor Better throttle response with just a tad bit hp gain. Nothing major though

[@mikester1472]

Meliton Aunor if boosting, this manifold is a lot better than the y7

[@NADEtheONLY]

Did u solve your idle issue having same problem I'm trying to figure it out even bought new map sensor an throttle sensor still bouncing between 15k an 25k rmp

[@cesarreyes9863]

SyKo SHAGGY I had the same problem, turn out to be my intake manifold gasket

[@ovidioleon4961]

In this swap .you use d16y7 injectors or y8 injectors..?

[@freakyflirt420ful]

Ovidio Leon use the y7 injectors because you'll run rich with the y8 injectors

[@Kanjo_Retired]

Cheers bud, answers to a few questions there! Did you sort idling issue? Which gasket do you need, y7 or y8? Thanks again.

[@freakyflirt420ful]

crissyboy79 Are you referring to the throttle body gasket or intake manifold gasket?

[@darrellkoch9428]

Does the y8 manifold have a fast idle valve on it ?

[@ALoleas]

only 96-98 99-00 has air injection

[@brandonbassett7887]

Why not just run y8 throttle body

[@oscarcrespo4637]

May I asked you a question please. What type of manifold gasket did you use? Since you have a different intake. D16y7 is different than d16y8. I tried before and none of them made a good sealing.

[@patience3088]

Oscar Crespo yeah no one ever says which manifold gasket to use

[@clouthentai479]

@@patience3088 use the y7 gasket

[@yeahyeah6518]

96 97 98 auto doesn't have iacv so you won't have to plug anything off and doesn't have air injection holes above fuel injectors with multiple holes to cap off like 99 2000 auto

[@smoke_oguwop]

Race Derek

[@thaAzian1401]

Hey backyard build I have a question Y can't u use tha y8 throttle body Y do u have to use tha y7 throttle body

[@CalebTheFluidChanger]

IACV plug as far as I know.

[@bretthege189]

Ima having a problem after doing the y8 swap the car keep reving up and down it’s not the iac it’s new thinking maybe one them coolant lines got flipped or I just put in wrong spot

[@tassap9355]

Brett Hege it can be the tb gasket or the iacv..

[@Djmb_Nemo]

Me too did you find out the problem,i was thinking the intake gasket

[@okitavio8547]

Does this give you VTEC?

[@ai_neblina6270]

Okitavio no this does not give you vtec. To get vtec he would need to swap out the head.

[@garymijangos9403]

No all he did was swap the intake manifold for better air flow, the d16y7 motor does not have a vtec solenoid if anything this swap would give you a few more horse power the y8 manifold is the best d series manifold

[@nicholasmanuel4970]

Yo. Hit me up dude. I live not to far from you maybe 30 minutes away.

[@yellowdoghnut45]

You got the wrong gasket. Need the one with cut outs around the center hole

[@patience3088]

yellowdognut45 so the y8 tb gasket?

[@yellowdoghnut45]

Patience yeah the gasket for a manual y8 I believe

[@Moto_Medics]

Why do you repeat yourself so much man

[@MrShadofa]

Any performance upgrades with swapping the manifolds? Or just money waste ?

[@onseki1774]

Islam Mega I don’t know about this guy but I would do this mod just because the standard Y7 filter housing makes contact with my hood and vibrates like crazy and annoys the shit out of me, plus the angle on the Y8 is mandatory if you ever want to turbo it
