does anyone know about how much it would cost me to do a mini me swap from the y7 to the y8 i know you have to get a new ecu and chip it but how much will it cost?

 

you dont have to chip it.

Y8 head around $125 to $150
ECU around $80
Intake manifold around $100
Converting your harness around $10 if you do it yourself.

Around a total of $350 to $400 depending on the deals you run across, also remember to get a 99/00 Y8 ecu because if you get a 96-98 one you will need a obd2b to obd2a conversion harness.

 

thanks i have been wanting to do that but i didnt know how much it would cost me now i know about how much.
how much hp gain should i expect if any?

 

around 25 but the cool thing is if you decide to add a aftermarket cam, valve terrain, and maybe a lighter flywheel(12ish lbs). Throw in a 50 to 75 shot wet kit and you are making good hp for a civic for around $1000

 

im not gonna put any nitrous. but i am gonna completely rebuild it and boost it at 8-10 psi.

 

that works to
