shouldnt the sensor both be plug and play?

the mounts on both manifolds should be the same thread

all D series have similar exhaust manifold

[oocus]

cool,

so i canuse my oxy(or laf i think its called) on whichever manifold i end up using?

can other sensors be changed from engine to engine?

hope your not affected by the fires, looks bad
cheers

Do you have a VEi ?

[TheSaint]

yeah hes putting a D16y4 into a EG8 VEI

[ECU-MAN]

VEi uses a LAF sensor not an oxygen sensor

[oocus]

so does this mean i just use the single wire oxy sensor as the d16y4 is not vtec. or do i put the 5 wire from the d15z1 onto to the d16y4 manifold. what about connectors? help is greatly needed and muchly appreciated. originally eg8 would be obd1 correct? so does this mean i need a non vtec harness. there are a couple of extra sensors on the inlet manifold and the IACV (i think it is called) under the inlet is a different connector. both map sensor and tps look to be the same. i really would like to use the inlet manifold that came with the d16y4 as it is a lot larger than the one on the d15z1. but the d15z1 manifold has all the correct sensors and fittings. not that they may be needed as vtec is no more. thanks again, hope i dont sound to confusing.

you picked the worse combination of cars and engines lol

the VEi is a bastard to do a D > D swap and the D16y4 is a nightmare to swap into other cars without doing a OBD conversion lol

something that i have learnt the hard way over the last few days

you are exepriencing a trial by fire - please dont let it put you off hondas - they really are sick cars when you have the right setup lol
