i've heard tons of different things about swapping a D16Y8 manifold onto a D16Y7 motor. i'm wanting to do this project myself and am wondering what parts i need and what all exactly needs to be done. please tell me al the information you know on this subject. if anyone wants to do a DIY on it with PLENTY OF PICS i would luv u. thanks

 

its in a magazine that i saw at barnes and noble the other day.. i read it because it was labled "how to get 30hp out of your d series for under 100$" and it was a d16y8 mani on a y7. from what i remember, it said you just need the mani and TB.

 

was that the title of the book? what did the cover look like?

 

I'm guessing that we are talking about the intake manifold?

 

i think it had a pic of a NSX on the front.

 

but u dont know the title? is it made by haynes?

 

He's probably talking about a tuning mag

 

yeah my bad. misunderstanding[sm=oopssign.gif]

 

anybody know what magazine it was?

 

check http://turbod16.no-ip.com .. there is a walkthrough on there.. lacking some detail but has pics and stuff.. found it in forums while i was reading through some stuff about turbo's.. for the swap without TB.. should just need the manifold with the sensors still in tact .. get urself a new gasket .. and your Y7 TB will bolt right on.. just have to swap fuel rail etc .. relocate/extend some wires for sensors on TB and vacuum lines .. also if u have aftermarket intake you will have to purchase another for the Y8 manifold.. Y7 wont work unless you can try to modify it
