OK. I need some help identifing a motor I just bought.
I thought I was picking up a A6 but once I cleaned it up. The block says D15B
and the head has a block off plate on the back of the head. Where it looks like you can put a vtec soiloind.
The stamp on the head is PM3-8.

I'll get pics up as soon as i get a chance.

 

not dual point is it?
If spot was for vtec sol. It's the infamous d15 vtec.
1.5 vtec made 125-130 hp with more torque then a z6 at same hp.
or so i have heard..

 

it's multi-point. I was told it came out of a CRX. Plate on the back of the head is whats throwing me off, of to what this is.

So a PM3-8 = D15B head?

 

it's a jdm D15b non vtec coming off a CRX, EG, the plate is not for vtec solenoid its for the carburator it used in japan

 

dont know much about head stamps myself either..
but if u really do end up with it being an d15b vtec rather than an A6..id say u lucked out.

correct me if im wrong the only other d15's were the d15 dual point ( 72hp )
d15b2 dual pint ( 92hp )

 

^^^ Ouch..learn suttin new everyday

 

uploading pics. One thing I noticed last night is that on the cam , theres a "lobe" on the end closest to the dizzy. That I didn't see on my freinds A6 head.

D15B VTEC engines have the spark plugs on the front side, not on the back

 

block off plate



plate off




"lobe"

 

yeah, that is a 100hp dual carb D15B with MPFI manifold on it - the extra lobe ran the mechanical fuel pump

 

on another issue. I bought this motor mainly for the tranny. To replace my SI tranny that is going out. So how's this tranny comapre to the SI?

 

Ridiculous question but, i thought d15b trannys were hydraulic. are they?
