So I finished my swap and it starts and runs but I have a leak at the intake manifold gasket. I have an 00 manual intake that I plugged the air injection holes on. I used the 98 intake gasket since I read somewhere that's the best option but I am still taking in air at the manifold just on the...

I googled my question but couldn't find anything specific.. I was hoping that they did not use the 3 wire iacv on the 00 to 06 hrv but they apparently did. I just ordered an 00 ex manual intake manifold with the iacv and i will just have to mickey mouse some connections for it for now and change...

Yeah it's a JDM d16a that I'm throwing in it. Its supposed to be getting delivered by Friday. Not that I trust R&L carriers to be on time. Tracking hasn't updated since it left Chicago on the 16th. 😂

Thats the ecu that is attached to it. Says hrv civic.. That's all I know.

Yeah that's kinda what I was planning at this point. Nervous more about the ecu pinout more now. I think the motor is from an hrv and I need to use the harness that's coming on it since the one in the car is who knows what. 😂

I am planning on replacing pretty much all of the gaskets on the motor. I ordered a full set of Fel-pro gaskets since I had not got a reply. Which ones wont work?

Does anyone know if the D16A SOHC VTEC uses the same gasket set as the D16y8? If not, what gasket set does it use?

Oh yeah.. Looking at the motor thats going in, is there any way to know what seal kit and timing kit i need to order? Is it going to be the y8 stuff or do I need to try to find zc stuff?

And this is the nightmare I'm working with.. 😂

This is the setup that I ordered

Yes, its the newer vtec SOHC motor. I was told that I need to move the crank sensor over from the d16y8 thats in the car now as well as "the gear behind the crank pulley" which I am assuming they meant the timing belt pulley from behind there. Obviously if I use the P2P ecu I would need to do...

I just ordered a D16A for my 00 civic. It has a P2E non vtec ecu in it. The motor is coming with the harness and a PEM ecu for auto trans (pretty sure its from an HR-V). Am I going to be better off doing a auto to manual conversion on the jdm PEM ecu so it keeps the 4800 RPM vtec point or better...
