Civic EG

i wanna put a y8 intake from a ek civic on my z6 i have a strong belief tht it would give my engine a bettr upgrade (intake wise ) wht do yu think ???

the y8 Intake manifold does have bigger runners i do believe, if you look under the diy section under the mini me swap i think it is teal_dx shows info about the y8, i think 96-97 is the one that wouldnt need any modification because i think 98 and up had a cold start sensor on it , but u might be able to just cap it somehow.

The y8 manifold has a larger plenum for quicker throttle response and somewhat beter midrange-topend power. The y8 manifold is also better for boost.

So yes, it is a good upgrade.

99-00 y8 have cold start assist and will need to have 4 little holes filled in. 96-98 is ready to bolt on. Be sure it is from a manual car, not auto. (auto's had the iacv built into the throttle body instead of on the back of the manifold)

not to jack your thread but woohoo earned a wrench! i love being helpful.

lol, you get wrenches for your post count.

There is an article in this month's Import Tuner on page 76 about adding a y8 intake manny and Blox throttle body. interesting article

their adding it to a b7?

no to a z6

i stopped in the store after i saw your post about it being in import tuner. I have to say that i am not impressed with those dyno numbers, they would be even worse without the tb they added. and if they are running hondata i believe it was, then they tuned it obviously. So I wonder what real world stock ecu, y8 intake mod would add to z6? not much. now if it were boosted, that would be a diff story.

to me, not enough to make it worth it. but as you said and the article said, it paves the road smoother for forced induction

one thing everyone mention.. is the hondata s300 for that mag build
i saw it too...

u can slap parts on ur car all day... but without the proper tune u will not see much of an increase..

but the y8 manifold is like the type-r to the d serise
there a good stock upgrade...

idk?? cuz there just on the bandwagon.. and actually dont kno
how to work on motors, let alone know how they work

anyone can swap motors.. not everyone knows how to make a z6 with i/h/e on a s300 put b16's and ls's in there place.. just sayin

and most dont realize the time and money it takes to properly build a car. Or even DRIVE it for that matter Yes Honda's are cheap, and somewhat easier to build than other manufacturers but common sense can go a long way. Most would rather listen to their buddy than someone who has been in this game for many years.
