D16y1 Vtec Intake Mani on D16 Non Vtec... Gains?

[Sexc86]

Hey guys

Basically As the title says, i have a d16y1 Sohc Vtec Intake manifold from a 95 civic vt. Will bolting this onto a Non vtec D series engine provide any power gains?

Is it larger, flow better? better design? etc etc or just simply the same?

[aimre]

Ive been led to belive a y8 manifold is beter. Like ppl do that to their y1's for gains

[qikteg]

any confirmation as to whether the y8 intake manifold will fit onto the d16a DOHC? pros or cons?

[bennjamin]

the d16a8 (DOHC non vtec) manifold appears to be larger than the y8 manifold , but the runners look a similar length. Can someone highlight the exact differences?

IMO the y8 manifold is a good thing for any SOHC D series :)

[f3liX]

not worth the gain
even getting a skunk2 i/m isnt worth it unless u have the mods like matching t/b, ported head to suit
d-series.org also has a whole heap of info on this

[qikteg]

thats fair, just saw one for sale cheap, so if it can provide me gains, it mite be a good thing.

will wait for any confirmation tho :)

[Sexc86]

Can we please get back ontopic to the origional question?

[qikteg]

dude, wat i asked IS the original question

be specific to the d-series non vtec

[aimre]

Well unless u got othe mods to suit, it wont be much gain. Like not noticable.
If ur turbo, then hell yeah a better manifold will be sick

[Sexc86]

but IS the D16y1 Intake manifold Better the Non Vtec D series intake manis?

[jdm_kid]

Sexc86, as qikteg suggest, pls be specific on the D Series NON Vtec engine !
switching the manifolds would be a waste of time imo, like as aimre advised, there wouldnt be much gain, most prob nothin ! unless ur engine is fully worked on, turbo, etc ..

y8 is the king of SOHC land. I don't think you'll stand to gain anything from this personally.

[RMN15N]

why dont you guys try y8 manifold on the d16 and then get a b16 intake arm and pop that on it should fit on as it fits the d16 tb
