is the only way to take out the d15 through a cherry picker because of the big crossmember in the back i already took of the intake manifold and still doesnt want to drop someone plz let me know thanks.

 

No it can be dropped out the bottom. Just undo all four motor mounts, wiring and hoses and jack the car up real high so it can be dropped out the bottom.

 

do you have the front Xmember off? if not take that off and you should be able to get it out that way.. iv never taken a motor out from the bottom so im not sure i always take it from the top..

 

There are some axles involved in this to, just incase you didnt know. Seeing as you took the intake manifold off. A haynes manual is your best friend brotha

no. You will need b series axles, motor mounts, and shift linkage.

You will also have to wire up vtec, and get a b16 ecu.... and if you are dpfi you will have to convert to mpfi.

use the search.. i bet you can find a how-to.

 

Just rent a cherry picker. Maybe $20.

how did you get the intake manifold off without taking the head off?

by taking the bolts and nuts out that hold it to the head. And some extensions and swivel joints for the ratchet

Its not hard to take it out from above....its easier to lift the engine out of the car than lift the car over the engine.....IMHO. I've only done it about a dozen times on mine. But you can do it eithe rway....you can get the mani off with engine in...the rear support is the hardest part.

 

to drop that engine out all u need to do is take the axles out take the crossmember off....and drop it from the bottom ...its easy...and to put the b16 in ...take the front bumper support off and bumper for more room put the b16 in the engine bay on the floor...either from the top or bottom.....bolt the tranny on and put shift linkage in.....and then take a hyrolic jack...pick the b16 up like 5 inches...and jack up the b16 and manuever it around untill it fits bolt it back up.....and put everything back on and everything together

 

Dont forget to dent the **** out of the Drivers side fender wall where the alternator will touch if you don't run a shorter belt.
(Make it easy on yourself and clearance that part. No sense in not doing it when the engines out.)

 

I Dropped the whole cradle out through the bottom, very easy to do. Only thing that got me cursing was getting the steering column knuckle hooked up again. Something about working in a cramped underdash area that doesn't make me happy.
Good Luck

 

alright guys thanks for the advice i got a cherry picker and old engine out the only prob im havin now is gettin the damn thing in do i need to take off the ac and power steering pullies and also some one told me to slide in the trany at an angle like this / tranny being on the bottom and then let down the other side are they full of **** or will it work ? thanks for all the help
