- Thu Jun 23, 2011 11:36 pm #260642 i Was Wondering what else would i need for my mini me besides the things on this list?

- Cyl head from 92-99 SOHC ex or 92-95 si.
- Intake manifold (hopefully this came with your head)
- Distributor (depending on your head combo)
- ECU (P28, not sure about the OBD2 cars)
- Head Gasket
- Use the timing belt that matches the head you will be installing
- Water pump for your block
- Intake manifold gasket
- Throttle Body gasket (although you can probably get by without a new one)
- Spark Plug wires to fit the new head
- Head Bolts or ARP stud kit
- some wire and connectors, possibly a few other misc items from the hardware store.
- Service Manual (for all the specifics, don't start without one)

- Fri Jun 24, 2011 3:08 am #260697 sound good to me, and u can run the p28 with odb2 heads, just use your obd1 sensors and obd1 fuel injectors, and i believe the y8 ecu is the p2p

and dont forget vtec soleniod, alot of people sell em seprate of the head for a lil extra cash

pulley tentionsor
spark plugs(why not)

valve/lash adjustment

thats all i can think of that u dont have mentioned
oh and with y8 heads u need 1 longer head bolt for the top right corner
if u go that route

- Fri Jun 24, 2011 3:24 pm #260792 Ok so im going to the dealer today and will be getting a y8 cam gear , valve cover bolts, a for the dowel pins do i ask for b7 or y8 pins? And what kind of head bolts should i ask for?

- Fri Jun 24, 2011 4:04 pm #260797 I thought you had to get an adjustable cam gear or else your timing will be off by half a tooth?

I'm about 95% sure all the Honda dowel pins are the same as far as for heads and.transmission alignment pins, and the y8 and z6 valve cover.bolts are the same so you can ask for either
