I'm very seriously thinking of doing a mini me swap I've got a y7 and want a y8 but am a little fuzzy on what I need. I know that I need a y8 head a v-tec solenoid and from what ive heard an ex ecu is there anything at all that I will need to complete this?

 

y8 head
y8 intake manofold (dont have to but is a gain+)
y8 wire harness (you need the vtec plug and the oil pressure switch plug from it)
y8 dizzy 0bd2 96-00
96-97 ex ecu (vtec) or get a p28 ecu and a obd2a-obd1 jumper harness.
some extra wire
some extra ecu pins
knock sensor(not needed if coverted to obd1 with p28)
head gasket
intake manifold gasket

 

k thanks

 

umm can he use the y7 dizzy?

 

no a nonvtec dizzy's bolt holes dont match a vtec head.

 

thats what i thought but i didnt see that in your list
and OP while your at it you might as well do your timing belt and water pump

 

ok will do, thanks, well ive started buying the stuff to do this i bought the ecu! is there a performance dizzy out there or something that would be an upgrade or just go with a stock one?

 

use the stock one
theyve been tested to about 500hp (i think) so you will have no problems
which ECU did you get OBD1 or 2? just curious

 

p2p i think, its obd2 for a 00 ex

 

99-00 is obd2b you have a obd2a 96-98


this is obd2a 96-98




and this is obd2b from 99-00
