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.

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?

IF ANYONE IS SELLING OR WHO KNOWS SOMEONE SELLING A VTEC HEAD PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!

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.

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.

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.
