Hello all,

New here so bear with me. I own a 92 Honda Civic LX with a JDM D15B swapped into it I bought off a friend a long time ago. Car has been my daily driver and treated me well. Car in stock expect a aem intake I threw on there I got for free when my brother turbo'ed his civic. Other than that 100% stock. Car is a commuter car so no interest in anything other than keeping it running to keep miles off my fun car (2011 STI)

It is time for some maintenance for the old girl as she needs some love. Here are my plans with the assistance of my brother who is a Honda guy who has done swaps and turbo's on his own civic:

pulling motor and trans from the car
Full gasket set to replace what's needed and fix the multiple oil leaks the car has
Full timing belt set (it's slightly overdue)
And anything else broken or worn I come across when I pull it

Now my issues

Honda dealer is pretty much a loss at this point as all they want is my VIN for parts which I tell them won't do me any good as the motor isn't what came with the car. So my question is what full gasket set and timing belt kit work with this motor? I have done some research and it seems the JDM D15B is essentially a d15b7 bottom and a D16z6 top. Is that the case? What motor do I order parts for that will work on the JDM D15b?

Thanks!

 

What year and model car did that motor come in?

What JDM D15b do you have?

I have the JDM D15B Vtec. Not sure what year or model car it came from. My friend who I bought it from may know.

Looks like the D15z1 came in the 92-95 civic vx. I'll use that as my base for ordering parts

 

Which one?

 

Guess I'm not sure. Example?

 

Look carefully. Do you have the 2 stage VTEC (like D16Z6) or the 3 stage VTEC (like D15Z1)?

What is the head code?

It's OBD1 if that matters. Believe obd1 is the 2 stage

 

Get the head code.

 

P08-3 I believe it said (looked at it yesterday)

 

Click the head code link I posted.

 

I did. I'm pretty sure it's that one I posted above. I can double check tomorrow but I had just gotten the block code and happened to look up and see that code as well. Was def a P08..pretty sure was -3 after it

 

The head of your engine is similar to the head of the D16Z6 rather than the D15Z1 (3-stage VTEC-e).

The D15Z1 is an efficiency engine, whereas the D16Z6 is more of a performance engine.

 

Ok does that effect how I order stuff for it? Not interested in making it fast. Just my commuter car I want to do some maintenance too and keep her running well. Have done most tune up stuff already buying stuff telling parts guy it's the 1.6L (for cap and rotor, plugs, etc)

Need to do timing belt and want a full gasket set for when I pull the motor for a full look over and freshen up

 

What ECU are you using?

Other members will be better than I at telling you what parts to order.

 

eH.

 

P28 or P30 (would have to check but that's what my friend said who I bought the car from said.
