Ok so im going with this swap, d15b dual vtec. I have a 96 dx and i wanna get rid of my d16y7. This one seems to be the one with the most HP in any obo2 engine that i could find. I was just wondering if there is any CONS about this engine. or If anyone has swapped this onto there ride? thanks for all the help

 

Bump . . . .


oh, and what kind of tranny can i swap onto this engine(D15B)???

 

bump i know someone knows the answers

 

never heard of a D15B dual vtec. all d series are single cams...B series is dual.

 

well its a single cam but it has DUAL VTEC.

its known as the 3-stage Vtec.

 

saw this on a sell the other day for a d15b. Didn't really understand the cocept of the dueal vtec selenoids. You know the specs of the dual compared to my sinle d16y8?

 

oooo gotcha...i see what your saying. i though you meant DOHC VTEC. anyways that makes better sense. it just cracks twice...i think there is info on it if you search the forum. i know it is like nothing else from what i hear.

 

what the **** is three stage vtec

 

it is vtec the cracks 3 times. ive seen it before. it cracks at 2k 4k and 6k. i dont know exactly how is works or what the power difference is but i think it is pretty damn sweet. there are vids of it on youtube. look at them.

There were only two OBD0 and one OBD1 D15B's which, if i remeber correctly, the OBD1 version was the only one with VTEC. Don't quote me on this, ima "search" though and get my info right, this has been covered.

For those of you who DONT know what 3-stage Vtec is and dont think there is a dual vtech, obo2 . . . . go here

Crazy JDM diagram of a dual vtec

 

I avoided the complications of the three-stage VTEC engine when I was shopping for a D15B, but haven't heard anything too bad otherwise. As for a swappable transmission, you already have the best transmission made for the D series if you've gotten the engine with the transmission.

 

oh ok cool. thanks bro. now to look for the engine. i found a couple of places with just engine itself but i wanna get also the tranny. Thanks again guys

im suprised you know your phones. Dual Vtech, stage-3 vtakj0, all sounds like childs play. why doesnt any of the US models have STAGE-3 Vtak? Because its no different than regular vtakj0. In fact, alot of NA D-series engine builders prefer No Vtaky just kicked in.


and there was One Dohc ZC that was a D-series engine.

 

Take it easy on the guy, he only misspelled once. At least he brought up a semi-legible diagram of how 3 stage vtec works, right? Anywho, I wouldn't really suggest you go out of your way to find a 3 stage vtec engine. Just look for any SOHC VTEC engine that's not the VTEC-E.

Thanks man. i appriciate GOOD feedback only. ok so i will out there and look for a Vtec engine to swap

 

so what do you guys think about the D16y8. cause i want something with *****. and i only see the D15b dual vtec pull 130.

 

D16y8 is a good and popular OBD2 SOHC engine. I don't have experience with it myself, but you could get some good advice for this one I'm sure. Some extra displacement couldn't hurt either.

 

z6 bottom end with a y8 yead, y8 headgasket with a y8 tranny, swap out the final drive and possibly the 5th gear for a hx

look there... there's some pretty good comedy as well as information check it out it wil tell you about 3 stage

 

oh man that was good

 

havent heard to much about the duel vtec. y8 is a good choice and any d series tranny should work fine.
