Ok now i know that it is possible to swap in this part but after looking around to see how it is done no one has posted that up. so i was wondering if someone could tell me how to do it is it basically drilling in new holes or what. plus if you can tell me all the parts i would need to make it work? thanx yo all and before you flame me for posting this can you at least post up a link that says how to make it work maybe i missed it.

caorndoff (spelling?) has swapped the d16y8 mani ... he's selling his kit too, I believe ...

get the skunk2 d16y8 manifold and swap that!

maybe he should put up a DIY

mmm so i could invest in a skunk2 mani for a d16y8 and it will fit with no prob?

 
Rep Power: 0

it will fit with modification and im trying to figure out what that modification is! but all i know is that the d16y8 manifold is like the type R manifold for the d series motors

the skunk 2 manifold will not fit it would hit the fire wall, because of the longer straight runners. I am interested in y8 mani fitment also.

yeah i remember a post showing the size difference and it was to long but i bet a ported regular one would make just as much power

I have modded one to fit but its not installed yet there are two holes to hog out on the flange and the ports need to be opened up a lil bit. You can use the factory injector flange as a template. I welded a flange on mine to use the d17 TB because its a lil bigger.

yeah it seems like a killer setup I give props to the guy who did it first. I sold my custom manifold because I needed the dough. This setup saves me some money for sure hehe

thanks dude but what do i need in addition to the manifold and basically your saying that all i need to do is drill some new holes and thats it

if i get a ported d16y8 manifold and new fuel rail and injectors thats good right then i just got to drill out those to holes. and for the throttle body i can just use a bigger d16 one that will fit right up

i read on another thread that there is complex wireing involved is there i thought it was just fuel lines and the throttle cable

 
Rep Power: 297

Well as far as wiring i think you may have to wire up the old stye injector plugs, not sure though. I already have mine wired for RCs. Also the idle control unit is different. You will probably need a d16 TB and idle control. This is the other reason why I welded our style flange on, no frigging with the Idle control. other than that you will need to either tap a spot on the manifold for the map sensor or use one of the 3/8 ports and rig up a vacuum line to it.

gotcha i guess i have to go back to my high scool garage and use some heavy tools but in all i think i can get it done

It is an awesome swap...If I was going with a boosted set-up I would definately do it...good luck man!!

 
Rep Power: 0

definitly a boost setup and yes i hear good things i just wish i had a digi cam to post pics of it when its done

 
Rep Power: 0

anyone have anymore info on this yet ? is it really woth it i dont think it would give you more than 10hp especially since the ports are smaller unless its ported

 
Rep Power: 294

so is that setup mainly for boost? or wat? im thinking about it right now too but im still confused about some things.

 
Rep Power: 297

i bet it would work good for na apps too. I ran it without the charge pipe connected and it actually pulled a lil more in the top end. with boost it works awesome though. Def worth the work. If anyone needs a flange welded on a y8 manifold let me know. I have made up cnc machined flanges that accept factory o-ring gasket. Makes the swap easier. I cant give them away but ill only charge what I need to get all the stuff and for the shipping.

 
Rep Power: 0

So with this stuff you sell, it would be a direct swap basically than, no modifying???

if so, pimp!

 
Rep Power: 297

Yeah I could do that I suppose. Id need a manifold and the fuel rail/injectors for it I can port it out/ gasket match, change the flange, and all the other stuff for like $200 + shipping. You guys will just hafta wire up some old style injector clips and cut up a cai to fit. I can adapt that rail to take our style fuel line and Ill make a block off plate for the pressure regulator. If you wanna convert to a return system you can take off the plate and add the aem regulator after. so for like 300 bucks you could have a real manifold depending on the price you get for the parts.

you will also be able to keep your cruize control
