Hey i just picked this motor up yesterday and since its a jdm engine im wondering what motor i would use to get parts for it. i found a thread a couple weaks ago talking about it but i was not smart enough to save it. can anyone help me? thanks

 

anyone?

 

for timing belt and water pump its the 92-95 civic vx, for the dist and plug wires its the z6, what parts are you looking for?

 

timing belt, water pump, thermostat, plugwires, plugs, cap/rotor, i wanna do a good tuneup

 

yeah like i said for the timing belt, waterpump, use the 92-95 civic vx (d15z1), the plugs cap and rotor for the 92-95 civic si (d16z6), thermostat wont matter they both share the same part number.

 

ok i think all thermo's are the same for d series if i remember right. thanks for the other parts though thats exactly what i needed!

 

good luck with the swap!!!

 

I want to say with my friend ZC/D15B build we use a Z6 timing belt? Is that cause it has a different block and head combo?

 

yeah i think the cam gears on the 1.5 has one less tooth, the zc is off of a 1.6....thats my best guess.

cool that link had some good info if you read it all the way through

 

That's incorrect; they all use the same cam gear. Only the Y's had a different cam gear and was just timed different(still same number of teeth).

 

The motor is missing the wire harness. would i have to track down one from my motor (d15b vtec)or will a z6 work?

 

yeah i wasnt sure why all i know is that your supposed to use the vx timing belt....

if this is going into an ef then you use your engine harness modded to fit the d15b....grab the vtec plugs off the z6 harness i guess.

 

IIRC, you wouldn't be able to use a JDM harness anyways. It's on the wrong side.

Converting your stock harness would be the best route IMO. I did it the most freaking ridiculously hard way which was using a Z6 harness I got with the motor, and pretty much converting the car/engine bay to OBD1.

 

i will turn to my best friend rywire and see what they can do for me.... atleast then it will be done right and look good

 

valve cover gasket anyone? would i just get a 1.5 gasket for my d15b?

 

Only 1.5 one that would work is the VTEC-E D15Z1.

As stated before, for the head use D16Z6 stuff.
