RE: to swap or not to swap
[align=center]I bought my '98 and my immediate obvious answer was to switch to a B18.
Then again I believe a Y8 is the VTEC model?
Anyway, it generally costs less to modify your current engine, but if you have the money I always say swap to a B.
May just be me, as I had a Y7, non-VTEC.
