Will this work? I have someone interested in the d15 oil pan I have for sale to go on their d16z6. I want to be certain it will work for them if I sell it. Thanks

 

some one's gotta know..

 

100% sure D15's and D16A6 are interchageable.
So I'd say 98% sure the D15's and Z6 are the same.
To be 100% sure, call a honda dealer and get both part numbers, if they match, you have your answer. Actually, I can get the P/N for D15. I have a CRX parts manual in my archives somewhere
HTH

 

It might not. I forget exactly what a D15B2 is. But if it is from either a STD or HF, you will have problems. It seems that Honda decided to make a different oilpan for motors equipped with close-coupled cats. If you try to use a downpipe from a car with a non-close-coupled cat, it will interfere with the oilpan.

 

its off of the dx crx, does close-coupled cat mean the cat is connected to the downpipe? cause the crx dx does not have this.

ONLY the HF has the cat right up below the ex mani.
Si and DX do NOT.
The D15B2 and D16A6 use the exact same oil pan. I am 100% sure of this.
The part number is. 11200-PM3-010 or 11200-PM3-020.
The '88's use a different pan. Just cross ref the # with a dealer.

 

If he is using the stock Z6 header the downpipe will hit the D15/D16 oil pan, he may be able to dent/smash it but I have heard of people cracking/damageing the pan doing this

 

it will not work
i had a B1 on my Z6 once
and i had to ghetto rigg it

i had to re drill the oil pump bolt holes, and still leaked with hondabong

the outer design is the same, but the bolt pattern isnt

u can make it work if u HAD TO, but it will leak

Wont work d15b2 Pan is too shallow and the pickup hits....

 

Damn..all right thanks for the help guys

 

hey well what if u use the oil pan from the CRX but u use the CRX headers? will it fit then?

 

Hrm I put my old d15b2's oil pan from my 88 STD hatch on my ZC because it's pan was dented all over. I had no fitment issues whatsoever, with both the close-cat downpipe AND with a chikara header for a EG/EK, so I'm interested in hearing people that have REAL experience, not "I heard" or "I think", someone else done this? Mine worked just fine and has now for 6 years (I probably have the longest running ZC in the NW).

 

I told you guys how to tell if it'll work.
I gave you the part number at the begining of the B2/ A6 oil pan. Call a honda dealer and get the part number for the oil pan for the engine you want to swap to/ or from. If the numbers match. It's a direct swap. (Yes I know, no USDM ZC)
Don't waste your time asking for opinions. Find out by doing.
In my experience it's much LESS aggravating than asking anyone here.
