The only reason you are switching injectors is because your OBD1 harness will not connect to the obd2 injector plugs. Now if you obd2 injector clips with pigtails and now how to wire you can cut off your obd1 inj. plugs and wire in the obd2 plugs. But its easier since you already have them to swap the obd1 plugs on the y8 motor. You can have the whole swap done in half a day.
I can swap a b-series into a chassis in 4hrs, being I don't have to search for tools and run into problems.
Your swap is really simple and anymore questions feel free to ask.
Listen to this guy, Who has the brilliant idea that just b/c you are putting an obd2 motor in a car that you have to make the car obd2. It is stupid. I had a y8 in my car. The only difference is:
-The d16y8 has a knock sensor-ignore it
-The d16y8 has a different type intake air temp sensor that mounts to the intake, yours mounts in the intake manifold runner-you must get the sensor and plug and extend these wires or tap into the y8 manifold. Both routes are easy but why interrupt the flow, I just went with the IAT sensor route.
-**Use a p28 ecu**
-Use your factory d15 injectors b/c they have the same flow rate.
-As for the distributor, you could either buy an adaptor plug and use the y8 one. Cut the old plug off and re-solder the other one on. There is a how-to on this but the wires are wrong on it. I will post the correct ones on the thread.You could buy a d16z6 distributor and use it(probably easiest)
-You must wire vtec(easy and you could do this yourself. Just running a wire from a plug to a pinout-simple
That is about all there is to putting a y8 into a 5th gen.
