You can put a Y8 head on a D16Z6 but not the other way around without switching to the P28 harness and ECU.
hey, im posting this reply to let you know whats up, im not bashing or being an a$$ you asked and stated so im going to reply=
I didnt get a y8 block, someone i know bought a 2000 honda civic ex coupe in the year of 2000 brand freaking new and it came with a y8 motor from the dealership.
researching a project= i relied on another friend of mine to get a legit motor that would drop in and operate=this fuker was also suppose to let me know about the differences and complications to expect during the sway. but i found these little problems after i got the motor, after my friend paid for it and while i was wrenching away. hey no bad feelings on the dude that got the motor though, I like the challenge, we both learned something and he gave me a hand in research after we discovered the freaking kinks. everything's all good.
ecu noticing sensors and resale value= im a grad on computer engineering= about 90 % of the time theres a way around it and if not in the future there will be a way around it, im currently getting in to digital dashes ran off of PC's and flat screen monitors, im not going to use OS's that take a shit load of time to boot (if i remember correctly, the fastest loading XP system so far was around 30s boot up time) im writing a OS that will fire up fully as soon as the or even before the motor fires up, and the features will be tremendoues, why buy a vafc controller when you can have one already built into your stock setup from the dealership? This dude is looked into payments for a long time, no one would wants to take over payments on a knocking y8block from a 2000 and my friend isnt getting into insurance jobs.. his car is all stock and he doesnt care.... if he wanted a hooked up sports car, this dude would have bought a jag (waste o cash, but if you got it to blow, why not go for it, jags are nice, his civic is his everyday get him everywhere car, no racing no show doesnt want go type o shizzz).
swallow my pride? i say blow! if i did that and went with society, i would have never grad'd from highschool at the age of 16 and would've never went to college and got a great gov job at 18=considering i grew up poor as hell on the streetz o cities. im not lieing and not bragging= i say fuk it, aim for the top even if your thoughts and ideas are shit, if you make it you made if you dont, try something else but never forget your original plan blah blah blah. shit i would probably still be selling drugs right now instead of kicking it in hawaii=relaxing and enjoying life for a couple of years... i bought a house for my mom to retire in and im only 21 haha!! $hit... make the impossible true and shoot for the top.
hey = once more im not talking shit and im not bashing, you made the comments and i replied.. .now im going to post on the project.
