Tried searching but didn't find anything..

I have a 93 VX.. VTEC-E engine. Is switching over to a D15B or D16Z6 a straight forward hoist engine out, drop new engine in? Will I need other parts, besides a different tranny..

Thanks for any help guys.. appreciate it mucho!

 

Buy a new cam, and get some new engine managment. If you dont want to do that, Ill buy your motor.

 

For an engine swap, is a direct replacement. Everything goes in the same place. You might want to look into new motor mounts though,because the old ones will likey be worn.

And if you dont have a Si or EX transmission, get one. You will need it.

So I would only need the engine/transmission and nothing else? That's what I was getting at.. sorry if it wasn't clear.

 

Saw a pretty nice deal for a d15b on Hmotors.. 435+shipping+150 for tranny..

 

What ECU would I need with a D15B? Can I use a D16Z6 ecu ?

 

p08 for d15b (single wire o2)

p28 for any VTEC engine. Like
Mooneyes13
p06 for any ohter D

 

The engine will drop right in and bolt up without problems. You want the EX/Si tranny for a Dseries (not the B16 tranny), they're the best Dseries trannies.

 

ya, the z6 ecu should be fine

Or he could use the Y8 transmission which has steel shift forks.

Be sure to read this, lot of good info

 

its a p08 ecu u want to get, not p06.

 

you are gonna have to repin the o2 wires going into the ecu

 

So to do this swap you have to get the p08 ecu? Im doing kinda the same thing i have the 94 CX and im going to be swaping in the y8 probebly.

 

i know i should just make my own post but it seems like people know what they are talking about in this one

i have a 92 vx and i'm swapping in a 95' cx motor.. i have the cx ecu and engine harness and will be re-using my vx trans with the cx motor
should everything be straight forward or will there be re-wiring needed like what i read above with the o2 pin. or was that only cuase it was using a dif ecu?

any light on the situation would be greatly apreciated

 

yes the p08 is the ecu for the d15b v-tec but p28 will work fine and is easier to find and for the other quisten about cx into vx yes it will be stright foward just use yor cx harness
