as some of you know i just bought a d15b swap from HMO, i took some pics of the swap to show you all my new sohc rocket

as a joke we made a new hmo sticker :D



these are some pics of a few mn HT members getting my old bastard of a motor out



in this pic you can see my new fender and my axel pulled out to yank out my old bitch of a motor


this is me saying good bye to my old d15


here we are getting the old motor out of my hatchy, you can see that the engine bay is dirty as ****


here you can see how dirty the fire wall is and at this time we noticed we needed to take the raiditor off


tring to get her clean


here we are getting the new motor ready to drop in


these next two picks were getting the flywheel and clutch on the new block



here is misc shots of wiring, we used my cx harness and pulled all the wires need for vtec from the d15b and added em th the cx harness.

this pic is showing the plugs we needed to run wires for

in this pic you can see were we added wires in on the strut wall plugs



getting the ground wire takin care of




wiring all done


getting the new motor in and puting her together

clean swap

 

looks like the swap went smooth. I did mine about 2 months ago. Now get her boosted! You'll love it!

 

here's a few pics i took too. to jon and his new d15b

before


after


and here is a pic of the valve train. i know someone here had a bad experience with this from hmotors but ours is clean as hell

 

Now you need to change your signature!, how do u like it compared to your old setup? i bet its nice , huh

 

looks good.. im thinking of doing the same swap.

 

So your clutch and flywheel didn't cost you any thing?
D16z6= free
P28= free
VAFC= already have
clutch/flywheel combo= est. 500
timing belt/axles/ water pump= est. 200
total= est. 700

Waiting for my next pay check to have this **** done in my dx.

 

well i had th clutch put in in my old motor in late september. i got that for 154 plus shipping from nopi and my flywheel cost 202 new shipped from a guy off ebay

 

very nice install. no problems is always an relief too.

 

very nice! We just swapped in my ZC this weekend to, big upgrade from the weak Cx motor huh!

 

is it significantly faster than the stockie sohc?

 

good work

Hey guys good work looks nice. I am also finishing that same swap in ma civic. Just curious. What else do I need to get to make the V-tec work. I know I have to add some cables, but not sure. Help please.
Thank you and good luck.

 

awesome bro

but the only thing i'm worried about is the big hmotorsonline sticker....what if someone thinks you have a b18c5 and jacks your car for a 1.5



Goodluck
