Hello everyone, Im in the market for a new motor for my 93 Civic DX 4dr and I come accross the JDM D15b availible at Hmotors for like $500 or so. My motor is bone stock at this moment and she has a ton of miles on her and I can feel it slowly getting less responsive and less powerful so I want to get her fresh again. Plus I got bit by the Honda bug again and now I want to tackle some work and due to the fact I cant find a fresh DX D15 Im thinking this isn't a bad swap, and I've done a few swaps for some friends and my old CRX so I feel confident but i still have some Q's if you don't mind? (damn, long sentence)

1. What are some do's and or do not's with this particular swap?, I've done some research but I want to hear some your real world advice.

2. Is there a particular V-tech solenoid that I would need? How about wiring it to the P08 ecu? Never have attempted that before.

3. Anything else any of you guys and gals would like to add? I'd rather be over informed than under informed if you know what I mean.

Let me know and thanks in advance.

 

well the jdm d15b is a good swap i just did it in my 93 eg si i love it. those motors are strong. what u will need is a p28 for the vtec and thats pretty much it then u have to wire ur car for vtec

 

Cool, thanks for your input I appreciate it. Im sure I can find a wiring diagram on here some place for the vtech or if you know a good one let me know. Thanks again.
