Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Any tb will work from d16 to itr. I think I have an old ls tb laying around if you want it. I have an old BBK Power Plus 62mm I've been trying to sell for ages. Make an offer on either one.

Guys, what are your opinions about the D15B? I've been doing research and it seems like the best way to go for my purposes. It's pretty cheap ($575 for longblock from Hmotorsonline) and makes good power (130hp, 113tq). I mostly just daily drive the sedan and I want something that will be fun to drive to and from work. I'm not looking to hit the dragstrip or anything crazy. Plus, if I go D series I won't have to change out the knuckles. I could call in a favor from Ryan and probably get a lot of the wiring sorted out. The parts car is a 5 speed so I have a lot of the parts necessary for the conversion from auto already. I know I should probably look at finding an Si cable tranny instead of using the DX tranny with 245k on it. The dogbox in there now is slipping so bad I felt like flipping the car off the interstate this morning.
PM me your zip code and I'll get a shipped price.
I might know someone.
I have a set of factory springs in the garage if you want to buy them. Email me if you are interested. asimoisking@yahoo.com

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Id try to find a a6/z6/y8 locally, you can probably find them cheaper.
Either way its going to be boring with a dx trans. I have a z6 with an Si trans, and it bores the crap out of me.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I thought about going local, but there's no way I could find something with around 35k miles like hmotors. Plus, with them I am guaranteed start-up and all sensors functioning.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I hear ya, but I'm trying to keep costs fairly low so this can happen. When you've got two kids, a mortgage, an RDX and a wife who isn't supportive of your automotive enthusiasm, you have to keep things simple. Besides, my hands-on experience is quite limited and I have little knowledge of what a hydro conversion entails.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I never took their mileages too seriously. Iv bought from Hmotors 2 times and pwjdm once, and everything was in great condition. Id still look local first. Im not sure where you are located, but youll also be paying shipping on that as well.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
(but I could be wrong)NA - is your car currently auto? Don't settle for a DX trans. When I put my dad's Y7 into my '88 DX with a z6 intake mani and B16 TB the trans totally dogged the potential.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Anyone want to buy a 91 Crx si with a gsr motor, ITR tranny, rmf replica header, AEM CAI, ksport rear LCAs and shocks, skunk2 adjustable front a-arms, partial wire tuck, relocated battery, new alternater, timing belt/water pump recently changed, GSR cluster swap, no rust that I know of, 5year old sunroof with all new gaskets/seals, converted to obd1, innovative crossmember, turbo timer(kept it in after being turbod to use as a warm up timer), interior is a 90/100 with the typical torn driver seat but it's covered with black duck tape, dual bend shifter, oil pressure gauge and several other little things. Exterior is also very good for such an old car. Some dings but nothing major. Could stand to be repainted but the clear is still in good shape. Looking to get 5K out of it. I'll include an 8lb flywheel and an extra clutch if you want. It's got a couple of issues that just popped up and I'm sick of messing with the damn thing.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
come get it.
NEW OEM timing belt, waterpump, head gasket, all seals new, comes with a y8 manifold/TB, stage 2 clutch with 8 lb flywheel. and mounts with ES inserts. new clutch cable and new speedo cable. Id do all that gor $1150 guaranteed start up/all sensors working. Im still on the fence about selling it but if someone lays the cash in my hand id prolly do it so i can finish the y8block/y7 head im building.
also have a y8 head with a stg1 Skunk 2 cam and gear if anyone else is interested

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Haha, I was thinking the same thing.
Yep, auto. I've all, but decided against the DX trans.
