ive searched alot and never find the answer only maybe a quick, it wasnt too hard just had to line some stuff up.

im very interested in this so WHAT has to be done exactly to get it to fit and work.

i've yet to figure out anything i read the posts about people doing it and nobody does a DIY or responds to my pm's, so i'm lost just like u

From what I have gathered by reading all posts related to it:

You have to enlarge two of the bolt holes for the actual mounting.

You can then either A) Fabricate a new mounting plate for your d17 throttle body, or B)modify existing sensors to work with the d16 throttle body. You will also need to run a return fuel line for the new fuel rail and install / wire up different injectors.

would rsx injectors work? and so id have to buy a fuel return system??

HAHAHA!!!!! J/K i would love to see a full write up on it also!

I was wondering this also, I was thinking that we would be able to cut off the D16 intake flange and weld on ours since we can separate it from our plastic intake manifold. Now the only major issue that Im worried about is if the runners would line up with our intake manifold flange.

If everything lined up ok (not perfectly, murphy's law) i think we can still use our fuel rail and injectors to save us more headaches with modifying our fuel system. Im seriously planning to do this and once my term papers and assignments are done imma go intake hunting and experiment...lol.

If anyone has more insight into this please post!!

Bump!!

My understanding is it lines up fine but there is something about the bolt holes thats something needs to be done

If thats the case, then i dont think that enlarging the holes should be that bad unless the arent near the same vicinity at all. Damn if i had a plasma cutter and a welder this would be so much easier.

Its either this or ITBs....lol....so far its this.

It shouldnt be too much different than what i did.



I cut the stock flange off, and welded the stock D17 injector plate on. Then made a TB adaptor plate and welded it on.

It do anything for you?

you were the person i had in mind to ask....lol. so did you notice any gains?

 
Rep Power: 286

very large gains.

It had a larger gain than swapping the A1 motor to the A2 motor. When vtec kicks in, i get some pretty bad wheel hop in 1st gear.

so you basically kept the stock TB, injectors, plate, etc and put a d16 intake in between?

doesnt sound too complicated. any pics of the intake not on the motor?

what intake mani is that?

 
Rep Power: 313

^look in his sig its a gsr manifold

 
Rep Power: 333

but if you don't have a gsr im can you jsut use a regular d16 im & do the exact same thing & have it work?

 
Rep Power: 333

cause my firend has an extra im at his place & i might try it out.

 
Rep Power: 286

any intake manifold other than the stock D17 manifold will require modification to fit.

 
Rep Power: 304

*subscribes* i want to do this when i do my head swap. i am going to start looking for a manifold now

 
Rep Power: 304

well i just bought one off ebay for $60 shipped gsr mani. hopefully it works like you say turbo. ill be using it with the ex head swap but the ehad will be PnP with a race valve grind with stg 2 crower cam set up cam gear and emanage. i want to be the first n/a to break 13's

 
Rep Power: 286

the gsr mani was harder to make fit than my 60-1 turbo and my 31" x 10" x 3" intercooler.

I hope you are good with a tig, or have a lot of money.

 
Rep Power: 304

that is what i would have liked to know before hand. but i have friends that can weld like no other. so that wont be a problem. not to mention that i have a spare head to start the fabrication. i will probably use a gsr tb as well since they can be had pretty easily. the biggest problem i see using the tb from the gsr is adapting the tps. but over all i knew it would take some fabrication. i think this is a better flowing option that the d16 mani and i got it for cheap

 
Rep Power: 301

what about the throttle wire and sensors? i have also seen others that where flipped unpside down and put on, any reasons for that?

 
Rep Power: 304

the map sensor will bo into the new manifold might take an extension. i may use a tps from a gsr if i need to as long as the voltage is the same for both car there wont be a problem. if i dont use the gsr tb then ill use a 7th gen stock tb bored and the tps just stays in the same location but the wires may need to be extended

i had a thread dedicated to building the manifold.

and you need more than just the head to build it. You have to make it clear the firewall, the coolant lines, etc.

If you dont build it in your car, then youre probably going to screw yourself.

 
Rep Power: 301

where is that thread located?

 
Rep Power: 301

caorndorff should have most the answers to these questions, but he is offline

 
Rep Power: 311

i just remembered that in another thread somebody gave a simple but to the point summary of what needs to be done, ill try to find it.

what exactly did you do about the stock sensors did your check engine light come on. also what kind of manifold is that. post up some picks of how it was done
