i bought a 96 civic ex they come wit the y8 it the kid blew the engine a buddy of mine has a obd 1y7 block i was gonna put the y8 head on the y7 block or the mini me swap wit the y8 intake but i was wondering if i would have to do and thing with the ecu since its already the vtec one....i was readin one of the other mini me right ups and he said someting bout the knock sensor between the obd 1 and obd2....but i do have a 97 y7 block to that i can get and i was wonderin if that might be the better way to go sense it is already obd2

 

All D16 blocks are the same. The OBD thing is just the wiring style. You can swap everything over from the blown up y8 and use all the same wiring/ecu/sensors. Just be sure to pull the knock sensor off the y8 block and swap it over too. It's on the back of the block near the top. y7s don't have them.

 

is there a spot on the back of the y7 block for it to thread in and thanks man

 

Yep, it's just empty on the y7 block. The sensor unscrews.

 

so now after i do this and get it going and start looking into forged pistons can i go with supertech forged 8.8.1 the eagle h rods and different bearings and possible bored it like to over would i be able to run pump gas with that ratio and would u happen to no how i would go about doing a tranny swap out of a 97 honda i have the whole car and its got a manual but it has the y7 motor could i get my y8 ecu reprogrammed for the manual transmission

sorry its my first honda got alot i want to do but dont no whats doable
