The engine in my 1997 EK3 Hatch has seized the bottom end
The head is turning fine, but the bottom end is solid

The engine is currently a D15z6 vetec-e (enhanced performance ! Apparently !!!!) it is a Europe only model so you guys don't get it in that states



But my question is what do i put in now ???????

I have been offered -
D15z6 (55k miles) for £170
D16z6 (56K miles) and ECU for £200
B16a2 (85k miles),gearbox, ECU, Wiring harness and gear selector (the only thing missing is driveshafts they have already been sold ) for £430 (i think i could still get this a little bit less)
and
B18C (76k miles), LSD Gearbox,ECU,Wiring harness,driveshafts and gear selector (no keys do i need them ??) for £1250

I am thinking to go for the B18C
Would i need any other bits ?

But what do you guys recommend ?

I use the car mainly for the road but may do the odd day at the track or strip

Cheers for any help !!

You have to go with the B18c, I just swaped out my D16z6 for a B18C1 and it was the best thing I have ever done to my car. Get the B!

 

yeah i think that is what i am going to do

Do i need any other bits ?

Engine, LSD Gearbox,ECU,Wiring harness,drive shafts and gear selector

From what i have read i think i dont

Also my car is OB2 and the teg is OB2b

Will this be ok ?

 

Ok so further to my reading i am now sure if i need to go from obd2 to obd2b then i need a conversion harness or a obd2 ecu.

The donor car that i am getting the enginge from is a 1998 UKDM Integra Type R

What i want to know ( and be re assured) is
What other bits can i get from it ?

I was thinking

Rear Brakes - I would need the trailing arm with discs + calipers and brake lines (flexi pipes ?)

Front Brakes - Can i just use the the calipers on my exsiting hubs ?
Or do i need the ITR hubs ?
Cant really find any info on this

And i take it that if i fit these i will need the master clyinder and the prop valve from the ITR ?

Also do the UKDM ITR`s have the same drive shafts ? or do i need a 5 lug conversion ?

Cheers for any help
