ok i recently put a d16y8 in for my d16y7 well the guy who hooked me up had to put all my dx stuff on that motor..ok..well the other day me and my friend decided to hook all my ex shit up..so when we hooked up vtec and put my manifold on and crunk it up it sounded like it had a v8cam in it..like it was hittin and when u rev it up smoke comes out..can anyone help me???
 
I very seriously doubt that he put a V8 cam in. First off, it wouldnt fit. Second you should have inspected the cam, and third its not a V8 cam. Check all your wiring.
 
my guess is the VTEC solenoid is wired wrong, and the rough idle is caused by the VTEC cam lobes engaging... unplug the VTS, and see if it continues
 
what i mean by DX is i had to stick all of my dx harness and manifold on the ex motor b/c the motor came out of a automatic car...
