Well I finally decided not to go dohc zc and instead went with a nice dirty d15b wasnt to bad 650$ local and delivered to my house with p08 ecu. I could have saved 50$ and picked it up but I said screw it 600$ I waste my time and gas or 650$ I sit at home and nice and cozy so I chose the second option .<U> I know this is nothing new around here just thought Id post it</U>. Ill be ordering the complete harness and obd0 to obd1 coversion from rywire, as I am just way to lazy to have to run wires I just want to get it in the crx I figured I could work and do it myself or be lazy and wait for the mail so once again I chose the second option hopefully I will get the harness ordered up this week. I gotta do all the normal stuff to the engine anyway all new gaskets and seals all the way around and other misc stuff as anyone would do and throw some new bearings in the si trans I am gonna use. I guess Ill keep the old DX 1.5 with 210k on it as it still runs perfectly







Like I said not a big deal just wanted to throw it out there

 

Clean and paint that thing. GL on the build.

 

nice dirty d. I think thats got better aftermarket and swap potential over the dohc ZC, even though I love that motor too. Good luck with the swap, and watch out for that bitch pin

 

i used to hate on this motor but i love it now,,its like a sohc b16 with more tq. it revs and revs

 

wat are your plans with the car?

 

looks like ur going to have some fun planned for this week

 

Wise choice getting an si trans for it. You'll have fun with it. Don't be afraid of the rev limiter.

 

I just want to get it looking new again as much as I can this is my daily driver - I just recently put a si trans on my dx and with new oem upper control arms inner and outer tie rods new lower ball joints and new sway bar bushings. I spent a good amount of time replacing the interior pieces with pieces that were in better shape, and the rear pax wheel well had the good old honda rust so I have a patch panel to get welded in. I will be picking up the usual I/H/E and some konis with gc's and get a new coat of factory color paint - then back to dumping money into my 2000 civic


some pics of the car after I got it cleaned up and have since replaced the driver seat with one with no holes

NICE, good luck with your car.

 

Ahhh good old brakleen in the background, Honda Man's best friend

 

I see your valve cover os marked A-T im guessing its from an A utomatic T ransmission? if so are the cams the same? I know the b series cams are wussy on the auto motors

I usually don't take it past that but sometimes I'll hit the 7800 rpm rev limiter and it doesn't bother the motor at all.

I could hit 7800 on my D15B all day, not a problem in the world......... Good Luck Man, AND to the best of my knowledge the AUTO and the MANUAL D15's are the same....

Good luck on the swap! You'll have fun with the new motor.
