Need Honda Specialist
I just completed my civic head swap. I have a 96 civic with a d16y7 block. I put a 95 vtec head on, with a d16y8 intake manifold. I need to know wut computer to use with this swap. Also the IAC Valve on the mani. Is a 2 wire male plug, and the female plug on my wiring harness is 3 wires. I need to know how to wire this up so my car won't idle all wacked out. If someone can fix this and wire up my vtec selinoid I will pay them, because I am tired of trial and error. PLEASE HELP...... Thanx.

go to about the 6th post down, theres a part about the IACV 3 wire to 2 wire conversion, also stated in other articles recommends you remove the oil control jet from the block for proper vtec activation
and about your solenoid, heres a decent article to read, its for a z6 but vtec wiring should be the same concept noted here

Use the ECU from the D16z6. I'm not too familiar with the engine numbers when it comes to D series, but you need to use the ECU from the engine that the head came off of. Otherwise you're not going to get the Vtec to work properly; or at all.

Re: Need Honda Specialist
Damn this is getting confusing. I just called a performance shop and they said I need to use the p28... (The ecu that matches the head) but then I have everyone else, and another performance shop telling me I need to use the P2P ecu.....WTF.....

Re: Need Honda Specialist
use the p2p ecu and get a y8 harness if you can. you are going to have problems bolting the distributor to the head as well
z6 has a different mounting pattern than the rest of the d series heads. i may have an ecu from my 98 ex coupe and a wiring harness
