my 91 dx died on 95 and now this mechenic is saying that the timing belt is broken and the best course of action is swaping the motor into a rebuilt d15b2 wich he is charging 1600 to do...is that too much?? he says the motor has 25000 miles on it....but like i still think its to much..is it?? ne help would be apreciated

 

D15B2 are worth 100$ with around 100-150XXXkms on them. 1600$ is a rip off. If you lived close I'd do it for 300-400$ overnight, not including price of engine, but I could get you one haha.

 

then what would be my best option to fix my car???? cuz i would love to revive it.....plus i got headers high flow cat and cai chillin in my room....

 

get a used DX head and put it on, along with new timing belt - used DX heads are a dime a dozen

 

mini me swap ftw

 

Just get a new D15B2 and go an engine swap. It's so simple. And your car only needs 1 header, you can take the other ones back.

...headers...

 

what would i need for a mini me swap???

A single cam V-tec head either z6 y8 or zc single cam vtec head and then the timing belt that goes with it, thats pretty much it along with anything else you would need for head gasket

 

coud i put a dohc zc head on my d15b2 block? if not ...for the y8 or z6 head woud i need the timing belt for my d15 or for the z6 or y8???

 

You can't do a DOHC had swap, and you match the timing belt to the head, however I believe the y8 is wierd and you also need the water pump and crank gear to match I think it has a wierd toothed timing belt or just an adjustable cam gear I'm in PA and have a spar a6 head I just want to get rid of along with intake mani and dizzy so you could swap to MPFI pm me if you are intereested

 

um idk how to PM someone but i am interested in it...and btw how do u PM someone

 

how much of a gain would i get if i add mpfi and a a6 head
