Wow man the memories, I remember the Y8 manifold swap being the go to 18 yrs. ago when I did it on the z6 in my 95cx (which I still own btw). The good ole days when homemade turbo was my homepage on my computer. You earned a sub for hitting that nostalgia factor in me.
Took me a couple of months to get all the pieces together to do this swap. Deep in the process now. Wathced this video at least 5 times in preperation for the swap. You are absolutley right, the gasket is the hardest part of the job. Thanks, you helped me a ton !
I clicked on this video because I bought a 98 Honda Civic and had no idea why it had some random sensor on the back of its intake manifold that wasn't plugged into anything. manual transmission Y8 intake manifold. I also don't have an idle air temperature sensor I finally figured out, so my swap was just done really poorly lol thank you for the video, you saved a lot of confusion to somebody new to Hondas
Thank you for making this video. I have a Project 2000 Honda Civic DX AUTOMATIC (Yeah it was my Sister's car Before) Slowly want to convert it to Manual. But right now I want to replace the D16Y7 to Y8. I've Purchased a Y8 from FB market place. The Seller took it out from his 2000 Honda Civic EX .. He said it's Plug And Play since they're Both Automatic. But Do I have to Plug those Holes First in order for it to make it work? Cause that small little think you covered and zip tied in the end is something that you will use for an Automatic, but Only for EX AUTOMATIC Model not DX Automatic. I don't know if I'm making any sense here. I just need to know if I still have to Plug in the holes before I start doing this Mani Swap. Please Help and thank you for your time in reading my comment. 🙏
Are you swapping the whole engine from Y7 to Y8? If so I think I’ll also need the Y8 ECU because if vtech. I would imagine if you are going manual then you’ll need to plug those holes. I would look up pictures of a y8 auto to a y8 manual intake manifold and see if the manual has those holes.
@@brotherboost Thanks.. no I'm just Swapping the Manifold. Y7 to Y8 .. Not Doing any Engine Swap. And I just Found out that my Y7 Doesn't Have those extra Hose. So I Guess I do have to Plug all those 5 holes. Thanks for your Reply. And thanks for Doing Newer Video Also. Your Older Video Says to use 1/4" Hose .. Now in this one you said to use 5/16" Hose Instead. I guess I have to update my hose to 5/16 😁
is this for a manual civic? ive been reading forums cause i wanna do an auto to manual swap but the main one on the forum says a y8 MANUAL intake manifold, intake, and y8 manual throttble body. im vv confused
This is for any manual D16Y7 car. If you wanted to swap over the intakes in the middle of the swap, I'd basically (oversimplified but the general idea is there) combine the steps shown in this video with the one on the write-up. Get an auto intake manifold from a 96-98 Y8, use your Y7 TB and you shouldn't have to deal with any IACV rewiring shaboingery. I'm no expert though, so take my advice with a grain of salt. There's definitely a writeup somewhere for your exact situation that would outline the details.
So I got the 96 to 98 intake manifold and I realized where the throttle body goes on the cut out on the manifold is a bit different from the one you have in this video. Am I still able to use the gasket you recommend and my y7 throttle body
@@brotherboost I reused the tb gasket which was probably not a good idea but I'm getting one in the mail tomorrow. I took everything apart and I couldn't find anything wrong so I'm hoping the tb gasket will fix it. I'm a bit worried though because it seems like there is a big leak
If I go to the junkyard just to save money what kind of intake manifold I should get even for manual y8 just to avoid the headache for wiring connections what model ? By the way subscribe to your channel
@@kenjilauj8577 I would say there is really no reason to do this. The reason I did it was for looks and because I planned on boosting it and didn’t want my intercooler pipping to have a 90° boot (better flow)

Haha great!!! I’m glad I could do that for you and it’s cool that you still own the cx. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!

Do you have a wire diagram for evap where to connect this one?
I here because I just bought one want to change too help me a lot I am tired of driving manual back to automatic 😁
Do you need the holes on the Intake if you want to put it on a Y8 head later?
where did you put the hose for the coolant that was coming from under the manifold

@@vjyoukai okay then yes I would say you would need to plug those. Verify tho to make shre
Nice video bro, was looking into doing the same thing on my Dx 🤙
I swap bare intake manifold to p2k intake manifold on my d13 honda engine
It wasnt done and, impossibly, I'm still trying to figure out what the pipes are on the head and on the manifold close to the head
Could you make a video of "how to install throttle cable on that throttle body spring thing?"
Yep! I’ll do it asap
Did you have to cut the wire harness so you could free some of the plugs and reach the connectors?
I cut some of the tape that was holding all of the wires together
Right on, the 2 connectors taped with the fuel injector connector go to throttle body?
Also, what connector goes into that loose denso plug with the vacuum hose?

Hmm I’m not 100% on that. It may cause yours to idle weird. I know they said if you get the wrong gasket it will idle at like 2000 rpm
What TB are you usibg? The y8 or your y7?

What throttle body gasket did you use. Y7 or y8 can you provide me with a part #

In the factory location
What did you connect the port on the valve cover to?
Nothing, left it open as a breather. Some people put a little filter on it

Check the throttle body gasket
Did you use the y7 throttle body???
Yes
why cant you use the y8 throttle body?
Y8 throttle body pulls in a different direction if I remember correctly
Whats the purpose of doing this? Why do this and what gains do we get from doing this. I dont think the guy explains it. Can someone explain please?
@@kenjilauj8577 I would say there is really no reason to do this. The reason I did it was for looks and because I planned on boosting it and didn’t want my intercooler pipping to have a 90° boot (better flow)
Who welded it.
A guy at my work
If he moved the throttle cable support bracket the video would've been alot better for me
Thanks for your input! Really you should use the Y8 throttle cable which is much shorter.
@brotherboost you did a great job tho!! I'm just here dealing with the mechanics on my side haha
