Build Specs:

90 Hella Fast.
A6 block
FJ custom length I-Beams
75mm Vitaras
Stock y8 SOHC VTAK Head
ARP headstuds from Lightning Motorsports (they sold the kit with 1 y8 stud for the swap. They actually shipped me 2 sets on accident. dont know what to do about the second one)
MLS head gasket
Stock Y8 intake mani (may send this to chris to try to work some magic with it)

Mars Galaxy spec 4 puck unsprung disc (custom piece. 21 spline count hub with a 212mm disc)

alright motor is in. intake manifold is not on.....im still debating on using the y8 intake mani.

i just need to order a log now and a few things here and there...

AbaZ · « **Reply #11 on:** June 03, 2009, 01:55:27 PM »

A log? thats not very creative

Get a 12 pack and bust out the wirefeed. It usually inspires most

98redcavz24 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 03, 2009, 02:04:42 PM »

Jeff always coming out with something sig-worthy

Yes, I got your pm, I will pm you back today. I have to check the machine

what is your plans for the dizzy on that engine?

I tried using a z6 dizzy and I a hard time getting the ignition to work (look at the front page b/c of the use of vise grips).

;D

I was told to use a y8 dizzy with z6 electronics to make it work.

i had an a6 dizzy that i was going to use for it but i needed the money and sold it for $50.

im still debating on converting to obd1. im pretty sure that i will use an a6/b6 dizzy

ApexSilver06MR · « **Reply #16 on:** June 04, 2009, 02:26:20 PM »

the intake mani gasket that came with the kit didnt fit too well and the ports on the gasket were screwy and blocking the ports partially on the head. I just had to order an edelbrock intake mani gasket for a y8 part number 15005 from kragen for $6. looks like a decent piece.

y8 head uses the 16 valve non vtec sohc bolt pattern

so you need for obd1 a d15b7/d15b8 dost for bolt on action

92CXyD · « **Reply #18 on:** June 04, 2009, 03:35:57 PM »

Thanks Chris M. ;D

What about the cam pulley should I use the y8 stock or y8 adjustable?

chris · « **Reply #19 on:** June 04, 2009, 03:41:24 PM »

If you have a y8 cam use oem cam gear

92CXyD · « **Reply #20 on:** June 04, 2009, 03:41:58 PM »

thanks ;D

chris · « **Reply #21 on:** June 04, 2009, 03:49:00 PM »

Also if you stumble on a y8 dist all you have to do is have a set of obd1 dist plugs and you can repin the obd2 dist to obd1 pins. Internals are the same

Hence why when you convert an obd2 car to obd1 all you need

is

jumper harness
obd1 ecu

At least you dont have a huge ass spoiler on it, and some 24" rims.

You can fit 24" rims on a Civic??
