could i use all my d16a6 external parts such as Intake manifold aftermarket headers ect on the d16y7 head? or what would i need to make this work

would it be worth doing this? or is it not logical?

 

i understand its a newer head but will i need to change up anything for this?
ecu? wiring harness? dizzy?

 

anybody?

 

Nope.. Should all bolt right up to it..

I had a D16Y7 with a Y8 head in a crx.. running the original Si intak mani and the Y8 exhaust mani

 

the only reason im doing it is cuz im pushing extreme milage lol and want to start freshening things up so i dont end up on the side of the road until i can find the swap i want

 

I wouldnt change Shit.. just maintain it.

Ive been running a buddys Si hatch 91.. with 270,000 miles.. Stock motor and trans..

 

well it already said bye bye to my head gasket because it shoots white smoke lol and some oil comes out the exhaust so i need to take the head off anyway so what could that mean other than a head gasket?

 

When you swap everything over, swap the stock cam gears as well. The y7 has a keyway that is offset and will make it difficult to time your engine.

 

Then just change the head gasket.. and get new head bolts. Cheap from honda..

its about a 2 hr job..

head gasket is 45. from honda.. and headbolts are 7.00 each...

so.. 115.00 in parts.. and 2 hrs of work to have it back to normal.

 

could it be anything other than a head gasket causing these issues with the oil coming out? turning my back bumper black and the white smoke idling and driving
