Right now that is the only thing i can really afford...im planning to buy d15b vtec block and use my tranny and everything else and just get some ecu and maybe even vafc. What would i run with that swap with i/h/e thanks for your time.

 

everyone likes d15 vtec cuz its jdm but wouldnt a Z6 be cheaper? or the same prive with an extra .1 liter and smogability. or if you liek the 1.5 do a mini me. just cause its jdm doesnt mean its faster

I picked up d15b for 300 even complete with intake manifold. It pulls great. And I didn't get it cuz it's JDM. But it is a great motor and wouldn't pass up the opportunity get it if I were you.

 

I got my d15b with tranny for $550. I like it but it doesn't feel like it pulls like my CRX/ZC...then again I'm using a p28 not the p08....

to me jdm means slower because japs in jap town have a "law" that says they have to get a swap after 35000miles so they jack up the engine and only reason jdm engines got more hp is cause in japan they use higher octane than u.s., like 98 or 100 not sure but a lot higher than american shiznit so i don like jdm engines!

are you freakn serious,,,? did you actually think it would come w/out that important vtec head? Thinks before you say

 

and japan having higher octane is a myth..its the same gas with a different method for calculating octane..and thats why its a few points higher

 

Also oct. has nothing to do with power.

Welllllll, you are correct sorta. It's doesn't directly, but......
Octane DOES have alot to do with how high you can get CR, though. And.....
The higher the CR= The higher the HP output.
HTH

 

It may be needed for higher power output but higher oct gas doesnt <U>make</U> any more power. Throw 93oct in a stock d15b and it wont make any more power. But yeah, we get what each of us is getting at.

actually, they use RON rating, and their lowest level RON would be the equilvelant to USDM 96 octane or something like that. their fuel actually IS higher octane.

I said you WERE right.
But I just added that the 2 things ARE RELATED.
Higher octane gas BY ITSELF does NOT make an engine MORE powerful. I agree. But it does allow ANY engine with a HIGH CR to RUN more efficently=More Power.

And our gas octanes are arrived at by "blending", the 2. RON+ Motor=USDM octane rating.

Overall the D15 is a nice piece for the price (wouldn't pay more than $400 for the engine and ECU)
You get the Z6 Head ($200 in good condition)
Z6 OBD-1 distributor ($125)
OBD-1 injectors ($30 just a guess)
4 Wire O2 sensor ($75 ish)
Plus a good spare bottem end with trick rods (STRONGER and LONGER than other D15 rods.
If that's all you can afford than get it. Find a 1.6 bottom end in the gutter (yeah right!) and build it up with .5mm over pistons and maybe get the Zex 53900 (isthat right) and you've got something good! (125-130 range)

Your car prolly came form jpan or canada. Im sure you would like Jdm engines if you could afford one such as a bseries JDM engine. And if you SEARCHfor jdm d15 there is a whole write up on it on how much better it is than a USdm minime.
