the mileage is around 200,000 and hasnt been abused(red lined), but i want it so i can rebuild it. so pistons, sutds, and intake mani i wont need.

but i dont know if i should just go to the junk yards and find the parts one by one or buy a whole one? :?

#212023 If all you are getting is the motor then dont offer more than 200. If you get a tranny along with it, then 250-300. D series motors are a dime a dozen now. I was trying to sell mine for 100 and no one wanted it.

#212086 be sure the y8 intake mani is from a car with a MANUAL TRANSMISSION :thumb:

Auto's have the IACV built into the throttle body. Manuals have the IACV in the same place on the IM as your car does now.

Also 99-00 y8 intake manifolds have some extra vac lines that you'll have to cap off and a tiny hole in each runner that you will need to block (cold start assist) so that you don't have a vacuum leak.


from the y8 mini-me thread: http://www.civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=10

or you can drill a hole in your intake tube, extend the wiring and install it there :thumb:
