i never thought i'd do it, but i swapped the old d15b7 out and in went a very clean d16z6. it was my first swap so it took longer to do then it would someone with experience, but its done. or atleast 99% done . and i learned a lot of stuff from doing all this. so here's a few pics if its cool with the mods.
the car
between motors
done
clutch is still being broken in. p28 will be here in about a week so i can wire up vtec. and i'm throwing a code or 2 that we'll check out this weekend(too lazy to right now). just want to thank HT for having lots of archived topics that helped in searching and s14sx2nr, todapwr and a domestic friend of mine for helping with everything.
next project..............drum to disc brakes

 

Up for a good job done a swap

Now all you need is some nice Sliver Konig heliums with a nice set of tires and your good to go.

 

good work homie VTAK!!!

 

Awesome on the swap. When you lower your car on those Mesh, its going to look so freakin' clean.

What you've learned is always the most important

Just wait till fun things like input shaft bearings and rear main seals go bad
