not entirely true - the D16y5 and D16y8 are almost the same
they are both from VTI models of the EK/EJ platform
the D16y5 is from the sedan and the D16y8 is from the coupe
(dont quote wickipedia as their entry for the D16y5 doesnt reflect the specs of the audm VTI engine)
the major difference is the gearbox - which is tricky because they are both stamped as being S40 B000
the 'B000' part is usually reserved for the better ratio box's (ie D16y1, D16z6 and JDM D15b)
but the D16y5 has the poorer strength and ratios
the only big engine related difference is the intake manifold and vtec system
although it has vtec-e is is alot more aggressive than the old VEI system
it is more similar to the UK 3 stage vtec - can easily be modded to put down as much power as a D16y8
the D16y8 has a larger intake manifold plenum as well
but the head flow, injectors, ecu, cam etc etc are almost identical
the econo box engine from that era is the D16y4 - which is a pile of crap and has the most annoying wiring/ecu setup out of any honda
it also has a weaker and crapper ratio gearbox
Is it at all possible to swap the D15B7 for a D16Y8 without changing transmission?
yeah pretty sure its just plug and play
Awesome.
Although I'd need the ECU and Loom yeah? How hard are they to find?
shit i thought u meant boxes sorry mate these are the things you need http://www.hondatech.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=771
cheers man, thats pretty much what i was after. Just gotta scrounge up the cash now...
Lotto come at me
really?? you win the lotto and go for d16y8?
