Okay so i ordered a swap from japan. It's a JDM D15b. It has seven prong's that plug into the harness and i have a obd2 application. I'm looking to get a adapter harness from rywire but not sure which distributor this is. I don't see any plugs on Rywire's site that look like my plug for the distributor.

no one knows?

I can't tell exactly what it is, but I can tell you its not the right distributor. It *may* be an Accord or Prelude distributor, pics are pretty blurry. Try your old distributor on it, if it the mounting holes line up, use it, if not you'll need a distributor for a D16Z6/D15Z1 (Si/EX/VX) plus an adapter harness.

Edit, i'm not even entirely sure thats a honda distributor.

I have a box full of Honda distributors from various engine series and model years ranging from the mid-1980s all the way up to 2002, and none of them look like that. The closest one that I can see is a '98-02 F-series distributor, but its cap looks nothing like the one in your photo. Honda has only used 6 unique distributor caps that I know of on OBD-1 and OBD-2 engines, and none of them look like that. I don't think you have a Honda distributor. It doesn't even bolt up properly judging by the unused upper mounting hole . . .

I would take that swap back to the guys you bought it from. Cuz obviously they have no Honda engine knowledge. Cuz I'm sure as help that ain't a Honda dizzy.

Or maybe yall just don't have the knowledge. It's a jdm d15 dizzy. Says honda right inbetween the top two ignition wire holes. lmao

tacosandbeans

It's mounted on correctly that hole is used for the ignition wire clip that holds all the ignition wires in place over the valve cover

I'm almost positive some Honda engines came with Hitachi distributors instead of the usual TEC units...

They did. The only OBD-2 D-series I know of that had a Hitachi distributor was the D16Y5, but the cap, body, and plug didn't look like those on the distributor pictured.

Looks like some '94-'97 Accords, '95-'98 Odysseys and 1st gen CRXes came with Hitachi distributors. I'm sure I could find more if I looked through the catalog more. Targa is also correct in that the HX came with a Hitachi distributor. I just checked it in the parts catalog too.

Targa250R

And by the way, this is wrong.

apexi_rsx

this distributor is no D series distributor of any kind and will not work!

tacosandbeans

yall obviously know nothing about jdm d15 motors to help yall out go on eBay and type in jdm d15 and you'll see the swap with this dizzy on it. :facepalm:

Targa250R

So I take it you've found what you needed and gotten it running then?
