Default Just a little help PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Just trying to figure out which distributor this is for? Also What blow off valve this is, just something cheap? I dont see any writing at all on it. The distibutor doesnt bolt all up just 1 bolt, the top one. The head is a PM3-5 and dont know what thats from either. It's a 92-95 civic d15b8 block 8 valve. The guy that the car was purchased from said that I can run a wire from the distributor to the battery but I dont remember how. Thanks for all the help



Is this an oem timing belt? Its seems to be pretty thick

How to go turbo for under 200 bucks no matter how bad it is, you'll be boosting!

Not boosting if it doesnt run. Yeah it was bought that way. Bought the car for $150. turbo, homemade pvc and motor swap. Why was this moved to forced induction when my main question had to do with distributor and I didnt even mention forced induction besides BOV

Half your question dealt with Forced Induction. Plus we can spot the dizzy for ya.

BOV

PVC piping. Nice. I was going to make my piping out of cardboard wrapping paper tubes, but that looks a lot cleaner

Because the FI forum is the Tech in Honda-Tech
I'm sure it was the BOV question...

I'm not trying to **** in your wheaties, but if the guy told you the BOV was a $600 item, and it obviosuly isn't, how can you be sure the motor was rebuilt? Or more importantly rebuilt properly. Did he provide any proof of said rebuild? Just curious...seems like this guy was shady.

Yeah I thought about that. No proof. But it's not my car so It's whatever. Anyway to tell a pretty fresh rebuild? If I take off the valve cover and it's pretty clean? or is it usually clean under valve cover?

STAINLESS HEAD GASKET! wow. dude i'd say you got f'ed, but you bought the car for 150$ so thats a great deal for any car half straight. i would bet the motor is actually ****. judging by how dirty it is and how everything is very half assed. you got lied too, A LOT!

but like i said cant go wrong spending 150$ on a car.
