Do we get D16y8's in NZ? And CAT convertor Q?

turbozxi · 17th September 2008, 03:50 PM

I am wondering as I want to get the intake manifold off of one.

Also wondering if I have the light on for my Catalytic convertor will it cause the car to run poorly? Not the CEL, but the light that is on the dash specifically for the CAT. I don't have a CAT anymore the sensor just isn't grounded I want to get rid of it if possible.

I followed the wire back in my loom in the weekend and it just goes to the back of the cluster, it seems to have nothing to do with the engine management at all so wont make any difference.
Just find the wire under you carpet on top of the tranny tunnel and tuck the bare end under one of the bolts holding you centre console in place so it earths on the frame. Light will disappear

nope dont get y8's here but as far as i know y4's are the same or very simular

just find a 1600vtec motor out of an EK and the manifold should be the same

mr_tec · 17th September 2008, 05:31 PM

thort it was y6s?

hybrid_H · 17th September 2008, 06:59 PM

y4's are he nz new ones. a bit hard to find sometimes. if u get a y4 and want a aftermarket clutch, dont forget u gotta use a jdm flywheel.

offset · 17th September 2008, 07:06 PM

y4's are the same intake manifold as the y8 ones I think.
y4's are available in the 96-00 civic lxi, or gli models.

we do also have a sohc vtec model (96+) VTiS civic, which has the same intake manifold, but sports a y6/y8 motor? 1600 Sohc Vtec?

CIVTEC · 17th September 2008, 07:58 PM

3-stage JDM D15b also has the y8 style manifold, engine's found in some VTi EK Civics.

civiconfire · 17th September 2008, 08:13 PM

Actually the y6's are the NZ new ones, I have one. And why not grab a skunk2 pro IM instead?

That's my $0.02.

Did some browsing, y4 is found in ek1's in aussie, 115whp, compared to the y6, found in NZDM ek Civics, pulls 127whp. This is the same engine as the y8 found in EX's from Japan and the US.

offset · 18th September 2008, 02:12 AM

EK1's are a NZ New LXI model here. which is indeed the y4. they share the same intake manifold as the y8 motors though.

civiconfire · 18th September 2008, 09:37 AM

Mine's an NZ New vti-s, marked ek1. Go figure.

Yip the sohc type argh! manifold.

So I have to find a wrecked sohc vtec ek then? Don't want the skunk2 manifold unless its cheeeep as the gains for a boosted car would be minimal over the y8.

Must have had a conversion, the y7 is a non-vtec motor. Probably had a y8 or z6 head swap.
