rushing to slap a bastard dseries mpg daily commuter together right now, and just picked up a 3stage vtec d15b. i got vitaras and d16 eagles that poke up above the deck surface about 22 thou so i know i need a thicker headgasket, or i can turn down the pistons, ill worry about that next week.

long story short i cant figure out which timing-belt to use (i think VX?), which ARP head studs to use, and also which thickness cometic headgasket people with this setup recommend? thanks for any info, searched and could not find it

yea you use the vx belt, the civic that has the d15z1. thats just about the same engine(block wise)

thats what i thought but i think that may only apply to the obd1 d15b with 1 vtec solenoid?

its still the same block, its just that the 2 solenoid head has i vtec-e and vtec, with roller rockers. ill ask the guy in my town with the obd2 d15b what belt he uses, but im positive its the vx belt.

also as for the pistons, that engine uses ex length rods with a custom piston with the wrist pin moved up
