D16Y7 to D16Y8 conversion can be had various ways, dependent on the parts you chose The most common way is as follows : - D16y8 Head - D16y8 Intake Manifold - D16y8 Throttle Body - D16y8 Fuel Rail - D16y8 Fuel Injectors - P28 ECU (some people use P2P ECU) - SRI/CAI (as the new setup ‘relocates’ TB setup) - Head Gasket - Intake manifold Gasket - Throttle Body Gasket - Exhaust Manifold Gasket - Timing Belt (smart time to change it) - 96-00 Honda Civic EX Spark Plugs (common choice) Remember this is for a honda. If its costing you over $500 for everything you need - you are doing something wrong. Enjoy the MAD V–TECH and 27 crank hp gain !!! ---

You could pickup a Z6 motor for less then $400. Don’t waste your time on a mini-me unless you have the part’s lying around already. ---
