as some of you know i just bought a d15b swap from HMO, i took some pics of the swap to show you all my new sohc rocket

as a joke we made a new hmo sticker :D



these are some pics of a few mn HT members getting my old bastard of a motor out



in this pic you can see my new fender and my axel pulled out to yank out my old bitch of a motor


this is me saying good bye to my old d15


here we are getting the old motor out of my hatchy, you can see that the engine bay is dirty as ****


here you can see how dirty the fire wall is and at this time we noticed we needed to take the raiditor off


tring to get her clean


here we are getting the new motor ready to drop in


these next two picks were getting the flywheel and clutch on the new block



here is misc shots of wiring, we used my cx harness and pulled all the wires need for vtec from the d15b and added em th the cx harness.

this pic is showing the plugs we needed to run wires for

in this pic you can see were we added wires in on the strut wall plugs



getting the ground wire takin care of




wiring all done


getting the new motor in and puting her together





AND WE ARE DONE



it took a total of 9 hours with goofing off and eating
it fired up no cells with 300 miles on it in two days still running with no problems

awesome bro

but the only thing i'm worried about is the big hmotorsonline sticker....what if someone thinks you have a b18c5 and jacks your car for a 1.5



Goodluck
