hi everybody,

this weekend i picked up a 91 honda civic hatchback. it is a standard hatchback, as it has the d15b1 engine with the dpfi setup. my question is, the car has the 5 speed manual overdrive transmission in it. i was under the impression that transmission was NOT availabe in the standard hatchback with the dpfi d15b1 engine. do i have a rare civic, or did one of the previous owner's swap in the 5 speed manual overdrive transmission?

oh, and does anybody wanna sell me a mpfi setup? haha

thanks for any responses,

tyler

 

no. just look in the junkyard for the resistor box, intake manifold, and whatever else you need to to the MPFI swap

 

My 88 STD had a D15B2 and a 5 speed, even though that usually came with DX's only.

I wouldn't worry about it. Put in a better cam, do the MPFI swap, and put on a DX/Si exhaust manifold and better exhaust and you'll notice a big difference.

 

Probably replaced by previous owner. Even if it did come with a 5 speed, it's nothing special.

BTW, the 4-speed transmission is overdrive also.

 

mines rare ..89 civic si japan style with the dash rappin aroudn the drive

 

when i bought mine it came as an std with the four speed ....what makes mine really rare......it didn't have ANY rust
