my honda is a 95 civic ex with a stock d16z6 vtec motor.
im swapping the motor to a d16y8 motor which is also a vtec motor but its a 96 civic ex motor, can i use my vtec from my z6 to my new y8 motor? im asking if i can use my vtec from my 95 z6 motor on my new 96 y8 motor. im asking because i dont want to use his because on my harness its not the same. so im wondering if i can use mine because mine has another connecter to it instead of 1 connector like the y8 motor

 

I think it will fit to take your old solenoid assembly off and put it onto the new engine. Use a new filter/gasket since they are prone to leak anyway.

 

why would you switch to a d16y8? is your d16z6 fried? all in all, the z6 is a better engine...

 

thank you i know it will bolt up now. can i use my z6 intake on this y8 motor?
also DO i HAVE to change out ecu's?
and yes my z6 went to **** have two holes in the block big ones. haha
got this y8 for 40bucks complete. im going to put new pistons along with rings wrist pins valves and such..

 

It'd be simplest to change just the engine itself, keep all the wiring and other parts stock from the '95 car (so it'd still be an OBD1 system). The manifolds will fit. The 1998-2000 D16Y8 heads have extra holes in the intake side but a 96 or 97 doesn't.
