I want to take out my D15b2 in my dx hatch and swap in a d15b longblock vtec (www.hmotorsonline.com) I just had a few questions to make sure I know how to go about it. First off is it being a longblock going mean hood clearance problems or any clearance problems? Will I need to get a new ecu and harness or will mine support the new engine? Is there anything else that I should look out for in this swap?

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

to get that engine running the way its designed, you are going to have to do alot of wiring. mpfi first, then obd1 conversion. theres alot of different options. theres a lot of write ups, do some searching, TONS of material.

you wont have hood clearing issues. you will need a new ecu. you can get an si harness or modify yours (easier IMO).

will you be using your stock tranny?

 

Yeah I planned on using a new 5spd from another dx that just got put in my car recently. So the d15b isn't mpfi already? I ask because it looked like it was in the picture. Thanks for the help by the way.

it is.... but your car isnt. you have some of the work already done for you though

 

oh ok I got you. Alright so I need to get the harness and ecu for it. There wasn't any problems with using the stock transmission I have was there? Oh yeah and what am I gonna need for the vtec to work?
