looks good how did u do it and are there any hp gains from doing this?

010 · 10-07-2005

i took me 2 days with some parts missing to make it work.... the d17 intake manifold is almost identical to the d16's and a little modification to make it work. as far as HP gains... well.... its really hard to tell... we dont have any dyno here on the island!!! (GUAM)... as far as i can feel.... the throttle response is a lot better, top end pulls a lot harder. and with the manifold you can run different injectors, right now im using obd-0 b18 injectors, so i had to wire a resistor box.

02fpcivic · 10-07-2005

yep you will fell it pull a lil harder in the top end. I am using that manifold too. I changed a lot of stuff so not proof on the gains but it definetly helped.

absolut_vodka98 · 10-07-2005

What exactly did you have to modify? I am wanting to change my intake mani on my ex, but what is really involved in the cross over?

skratch_munkey · 10-07-2005

Hafa Adai fellow islander. nice work, where did you get it done at? or did you diy at home?

But anyways nice to see another islander on the site.

010 · 10-07-2005

the swap was done at home... not a lot of people here on the island is interested in the 7th gen civic... mostly EF, EG, EK, and integra's are being worked on. the swap was pretty straight forward... if your really interested just PM me, and i'll tell you from there... um... IF ANYONE IS SELLING OR WHO KNOWS SOMEONE SELLING A VTEC HEAD PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!

Interesting!

Can you create a quick DIY???

010 · 10-07-2005

thanks... um...right now.. dont have anymore pictures. once i get a hold of a vtec head.... i'll try to come up with something...

DaddyFatSacks · 10-07-2005

Search, theres a few VTEC heads for sale, maybe you can even throw a Crower Stage 1 cam, it doesnt need any change to the valve springs or retainers.

Blahman240 · 10-07-2005

SOme one needs to write up a diy on this, I would love more info. I would also like to do it.

guamcivic2k1 · 10-07-2005

ceejay? im guessin this is you postin.

ncirom2003 · 10-07-2005

someone def. needs to do a diy, even if theres no pics for a while :wink:

and why do you need to wire in resistors for the injectors? will i have to when i put my rsx s injectors in my car?

as for vtec head, just put in huge letters in you sig, that your looking to get one, i did and got tons of replies in a week

obd1 and obd0 need resistors. So this means obd1 and obd0 injectors will also need them. If you use rsx injectors you won't need resistors.

djmota · 10-07-2005

nice work! A quick written diy on the mods and a parts needed list would be nice. amazingly no one has done one yet. This is one of those last little things I may try before my swap.

010 · 10-07-2005

hey guys!!! good news!!! someone just PMed me regarding a vtec head!!! who is that??? guamcivic2k1??? is that ronnie??? how you been man??? anyway... about the DIY... well.... i would do it when i take apart the motor... just waiting for some parts to come in.... like i've been saying...if your really interested, just PM and i will tell you what needs to be done!!!

010 · 10-07-2005

totally forgot about it!!! here's the bolt pattern of the d17 intake gasket and the y8 manifold.

andyman97 · 10-08-2005

How did you get around the tps? I had to have mine read backwards for it not to throw a check engine light.

AzNmiKex215 · 10-08-2005

So the ports on the D17 intake manifold are actually bigger?

010 · 10-08-2005

ports on the d17 is just a little bit bigger than the y8... a little port match would work!!! map sensor,tps, and the idle air control was an issue... a little re-wiring has to be done.

se7engen_riDe · 10-08-2005

lol...good job. never seen this done before.

010 · 10-09-2005

thanks man!!! this was done before... a lot of people have done this... y8 manifold and other aftermarket manifolds... the y8 conversation didnt cost me a lot.

mrDFWmechanic · 10-09-2005

i'm sure everybody would like a detailed DIY or somethin because i've been wanting to do this for some time

010 · 10-09-2005

was telling everyone to pm me for some pointers.... the swap was pretty straight forward. the DIY... well... maybe after i get a vtec head..... been looking for one!!!

Rufus · 10-09-2005

I'm about to put a d16 flywheel on my car! Woot

010 · 10-09-2005

thats good!!! i know that the flywheel are the same... mine was shaved with ACT 6 puck.

mugencivic69 · 10-11-2005

Ashhole · 10-11-2005
