sweet thx

iamthefollower

what yr model car u have? I'm sure its probably 92-95 cause of the motors.

92shade

yeah thats what assumed becuase of the stock d15b7

iamthefollower

Cool, well if ur going to swap from Auto to Manual then you are going to have to buy a new transmission mount for the top of the tranny, you can buy the conversion mount to bolt up perfectly, or you can cut and weld the side bracket from a manual on it, me personally I would do the Tranny mount, it'll be easier and you'll know it works correctly..


And your auto tranny will bolt up to ur z6.

1phatEG8

yeah, your trans will work. i actully just did the same swap yesterday, (D15B7 to D16Z6) ext. i all ready had a manual. good luck with ur swap & conversion, it'll be worth it.

Hey 1phatEG8 do u live close to cleveland TN???

1phatEG8

well its about 3 hours away, why whats up?

iamthefollower

I hear that their is a lot of racing going on up there on the weekends, and I was kinda tired of going to kennesaw for some action here.. just going to see how things were up there, it's about an hr from me.

1phatEG8

I haven't heard much about it, most of the people here just go to Bristol Speedway on the weekends, it's the same track they run NHRA on so it's pretty nice. but if thats only a hour from you, then id try it at least once.

dippy

for the engine swap only if i have the long block can i just throw it in and use all the wires and everything that the d15b7 used?

pinks11

yeah you will be able to use the existing harness with your z6. the only wiring you will need to do is run your vtec wiring for the solenoid. theres 2 or 3 i kinda forgot right now, but if you have a question pm me, i'll be able to direct you to the exact info you'll need.

Headman

The wiring for the vtech and you will have to change the ecu or have it chipped.

RedRevolver

cool thats the exact same swap i'm planning on doing this summer. only difference is i have a manual tranny already. should be a nice and easy swap for my first time i think.

dippy

which wires do i need exactly? lol

dippy

ah just one other question about the ecu for the engine its the p28 but is there a difference for one for manual and auto?

b16vt3c

it will work cus i did it bout 3 days ago
it was a d15b and swaped it to a d16z6 singlecam vtec changed the ecu
to a vtec ecu
its runing out in the street winning money

dippy

nono i meant for the ecu is there a difference between manual and automatic like for the car in general

dippy

ecu bumpbump

prolifik22

yes theres a diffrence in the ecu's u can look it up in faq's.. if u want to make it a manual..or u can juz get a manual one ....u can still use it if thats what ur askin ....

dippy

im wonderin if i asked this before but i cant seem to remember the answer mite have been on another thread but for auto to manual conversion on a del sol can i use a civics shift linkage on the del sol?

dippy

im surprised no one responded this time around

94EG8

No. You must use a Del Sol linkage, it can come from an S or Si model.

dippy

but not the vtec one? and thats wat i figured man u kno how hard it is to find one.... used i mean lol
