I own a '99 civic lx with a manual transmission. I've been slowly modding it with an ebay CAI and now I want to swap the y7 with a y8. I just recently bought this rebuilt engine off ebay and it seems pretty good.
eBay Motors: HONDA CIVIC D16Y8 1.6 VTEC REBUILT CYLINDER HEAD 96-00 (item 170298214882 end time Jan-29-09 10:40:12 PST)
Now he's also throwing in a vtec solenoid for free so I can't complain. Although he did call it a "selenoid" repeatedly. I don't know if I should be worried about that or not. So anyways. This man also said I needed a y8 wiring harness as well to put the vtec in, but that one digrahm I saw online says I only need a 2 wire IACV plug and can keep my y7 wiring harness. I've been searching everywhere online for one, but can't find one. Does anyone know where I can get one online?
Also I don't know anything about cars so I was planning on bringing it to a honda dealership to get it done or maybe a Midas. Do you know how much they'd charge me to get this done?
