I'm gathering my parts and I was wondering if (isn't) the water pumps all the same for these dseries? I'm doing a y8 swap on a d15b8. I have the complete head and im gonna have to get the z6 belt and wondering if I just get the kit that comes with the water pump if that will fit and work? Not sure if the teeth are different on the pump then a d15b8 and If I will have a problem.

Are you askin if here different because you want to reuse te d15 pump? If your replacing it just get a z6 so you know for sure it will work with the z6 timing belt. I think they are all the same though. You could search google and prolly find out faster then the time it took me to type this.

What pistons are you going to be using?

Ok cool I thought they were the same... but no no im not using my old pump... I have to get a z6 timming belt to make the y8 head work so I was just gonna get a kit which would be the z6 belt and pump with tensioner and just wanted to make sure the pump would work... I dug a little deeper and found that they are the same part #.

I was planning on just keeping the bottom end stock, at least for now. Once I get it all together I might do some bottom end work but this is just a fun project for me. Any suggestions though I will take...

Its a d15b8 in a 97 civic dx. It is pretty much gutted in the engine bay, no a/c, power steering. I have an ex trans and lightened flywheel with roto rims and carbon hood. So a few wieght reduction mods and a little zippier trans. World sport exhaust. And now im gonna get this y8 head on which is complete... ecu, IM, and of course the head... so any suggestions from what I already got goin is more then welcome

O, fuel pump in my 97' dx will work just fine?

Welp...just so you know you cant use 8 valve pistons with a 16 valve head. Time to research more bro.

I am goin to get the head resurfaced and a p&p

My motor has the 4 relief valve pistons... for some reason some came with it and some didnt.

But what pistons DO YOU or would you recommend for me if I were to swap in better ones. Stronger oem pistons and rods... just curious.
