The intake manifold plate from our cars is from the D16V1 engine. There are usually a fair few on ebay. Just buy the entire intake manifold. They're like £30

The D16Y8 intake manifold is quite rare because it's from the Civic Coupe SR (99-00). Not many around as theyre USDM. My mate has one.

If you are struggling to find one then try the D16Z6 intake manifold. Very common engine in the UK as it came in all the 1.6 VTEC hatchbacks from 5th gen and 6th gen civics.You have to do exactly the same work to that manifold to make it fit and will give you very similar gains.

D17 throttle body may be difficult to come by. It's from the D17A2 engine found in the EM2 coupe. Not many about in england. Try searching for Civic 1.7 Coupe 2001-2003. They never made the facelift version here in the UK, only the USA.

Hope this helps :)

i already have the d16z6 manifold im just tryin to find the injector plate all the ones on ebay dont seem to have it attactched to it i dont really wont to waste £30 and all i get is the plastic chamber i need to find just the plate by its self

That's weird, the injector plate should be sold with the intake manifold :/
