There's a sticky thread at the top of the D series forum that will answer a lot of your questions: http://www.civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=10

Either throttle body would fit. I would try using your b7 one first since it has the correct vac lines for your car. If you use your d15b7 TB, then the map sensor will not be an issue, just leave it as is :thumb:

I used 8 ARP studs for a D16z6 and 2 oem head bolts for a y8 in the back corners. This was back in 2002, ARP might have more options available now.

d15B7 oem head bolts are stretch bolts and should not be re-used. They are about the same cost as ARP head studs, which can be re-used.

try the D15b7 one. I think you might need to modify the back of the intake manifold to get it to sit flush though. The D15b7 and y8 IACV's are shaped differently.

Heyyy... Thanks!

For the head studs you'll need a custom stud for the one in the corner near the VTEC solenoid. 2) PN# AM6.100-1LB DIRECT FROM ARP (1 piece)*"

The rest will be Y8 studs.

You have to use your B7 throttle body so you have that vacuum line for the charcoal canister. You'll need to T in a vacuum line ie the fpr line for the purge control solenoid (the thing in your huge pics).

Some map sensor mount to the firewall, others are right on top of the throttle body. The ECU doesn't care which one. Use the one that works with your throttle body (I believe your B7 map sensor is mounted to the firewall).
