- Thu Jul 21, 2011 10:30 pm #264399 I currently own a 1995 Honda civic Lx Sedan. With a D15B7, 232K on it. Engine runs strong but burns way to much oil. I found a D16Y8 on craigslist here in my city for $650, comes with transmission, half shafts and shifter linkage. What would I have to do to get the engine to run in my car? Can I use the ECU from my D15B7? Do I need to rewire everything? what do?

- Fri Jul 22, 2011 6:16 am #264459 Any Idea where I can find a good one for cheap? Ebay? anything I should look for? I am a swap virgin, as you can tell. I am on a very tight budget and don't want to screw up.

thanks

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

Yes it is manual with the original clutch from 1995.

- Sat Jul 23, 2011 3:31 am #264605 after u get the y8 and the p28 ecu

your gonna want to use ur b7 injectors, ur b7 dizzy
ur b7 alternator, and ur b7 throttle body, nd b7 IACV( your gonna have to shave some of the manifold off to fit the obd1 IACV in the y8 manifold)
and your gonna have to drill a hole in the back of the manifold for the IAT(Teal_dx has that info in his mini write up) or ghetto rig it into the air intake tube
