Hey everyone, i am currently in a stump here, you guys wouldn't believe the crap i went through in the past 2 weeks. So i brought a full 2000 EX swap, block, heads, tranny, axles, etc. i wanted to put it in my car, and we did so and hooked up sensors and antifreeze lines, but something just wasn't right. There were sensors not connected, the IAT sensor was not connected and like my mechanic gives up easily, and my car started mixing the antifreeze inside the cylinder heads with the oil and my mechanic decided to give me a "better" motor. Which i HAD a D15B7, now i have a D15B8 with a whopping 70hp and 93 torque, i do not wana know the specs to the wheels lol. But i got the D16y8 in my room, wrapped in ceramic wrap and im just cleaning out the parts makikng them clean and perfect for when i try this swap again, but with a REAL mechanic. My question is, we had the conversion harness, from OBD-2 to OBD-1. What the heck am i doing wrong? its like all the sensors dont hook up into the intake manifold from the Y8 head, and now im stuck with a doo-doo motor thats an 8 valve. I heard you have to drill a hole in the back of the y8 manifold in order to attatch the IAT sensor. Also i have V-TEC wires and stuff, but i rather keep them disconnected until i see if my swap works. I see people who did this swap are happy and all that, props to them because i dont know what to do right now. Any help is appreciated please, oh! and i also removed the oil jet from the block in order to run V-TEC, anyone please stop me if im wrong, when i started the car for the first time, it felt like the car was losing power, the motor kept studdering at 1,500 RPM's sounding port and polished when it wasnt. the sound souded like "trat trat trat trat trat" i drove it and all, but white smoke appeared to come out my exhaust that smoked up the whole block. Any body have ideas? or who did the swap and had the same problems and fixed it?
