i had this before i sold it to 2k2 and no u will need to use y8 injectors or any cc injectors for the y8. the stock ones wont work cause i think either its to short or the size. if u are also gonna ask if rsx injectors will work no it wont only y8 stock injectors or injectors intended for the y8.

Im sure he did its one of the most important parts. By the way is it portmatched to the head.

Not to hijack but im gonna do mine with some intake manifold y8 application. And im going to make a flange for the d17 tb and replace the d16 one so almost everything will bolt up. Just to give you an idea of an easier way but slightly more expensive .

just build one from a b20 mani, the stock d17 flange, weld up a new tb plate and put a k series tb on it.

b20's come in crvs and ****. ive seen a few hatches with b20's and they scream. nice thing is the intake runners from the b20 intake mani and the stock flange from our POS d17 intake mani match pretty well. i wouldnt just go grab a b20 mani and start cuttin. i read an article in honda tuning before i did mine. the mag is in my car or id tell you exactly which issue it was.

ok there are 3 different manifold that come on b20's. there is the tall and short runners and one that is pretty much identical to the b18b ls manifold. all do have the same head flange but you want to make sure your not getting the jdm obdI manifold. that is the one that is most like a b18b ls integra manifold. it would be easier to just say get the b18b manifold because the tall b20 manifold wont work because of hood clearance and the other is more restrictive than the b18b. i dont know of anyone who has completed this swap though. i have a gsr and a B20 OBDI mani if someone wants to buy one. turboengineer got the gsr mani working good but its a lot of work. let me know. oh i know about the b20 anifold because i have a b20 swapped dc2(3rd gen integra)
