ive done alot of searching

and im wondering whats the jdm equivalant of a d16z6 sohc vtec? reason im asking is because most engine places around here sell jdm engines and it mite be hard to find a usdm d16z6

also my hatchback is a 90std so its a dpfi

im thinking of just converting the car to obd1 instead of running it obd0 and using a pm6 to run it/activation switch dont really want to do that, i want to use the motor at its full potential using the right stuff, whats a good brand harness to buy i notice some members make them what members do u recommend?

how much do p28s usually run for?


im going thru a shop to do this for me, labor is gonna be 500$ as far as i see they do gr8 work, they built my friends ls/vtec and its running really healthy and looks gr8 and professinaly built

how much should a sohc vtec engine usually run? complete minus tranny cause of course my hatch is cable

 

thanx in advance to any help anyone can post up

 

blown90hatchs conversion harness is what i reccomend. you can pm him on here or go to his site for them

http://www.jkobdconversionharness.com/

I got my p28 for $80 locally, you can usually find them online for 100-150 shipped

I also found my d16z6 locally for $300, but i've seen em go for anywhere frmo 300-700. Just look around try going to shops that do swaps and see if anyone just recently went with a b-series and left there old d-series engien there.

 

i c thanks for your post, do you know if theres a JDM equivalant of a 92-95 sohc vtec 1.6L ?

 

Im doing the same swap...i was gonna do ob1 from ob0 but its a big pain in the butt...get the p28 ecu...and a jumper harness...all the wires are spliced into the harness already...makes it alot easier...just gotta find someone to do the injectors...my buddy works at a speed shop and does alot of wiring so he did it for me...but keep the harness ob0 makes things alot easier down the road.

 

jumper harness u mean the conversion harness they sell for around 150$ aroudn the net? thast what im going to do just get a obd0-obd1 conversion harness

 

the equivalant to a 1.6L VTEC is a JDM D. 15B SOHC VTEC 130HP Great motor. http://asia.vtec.net/article/d15b/

 

thanx for ur response,


so when i get the engine how do i not get stuck with the crap vtec-E? what are some differnces visually to look for, does the vtec-E look differnt? i been searching and the vtec-E has two vtec solenoids?


edit gr8 link

 

also since its like the d16z6, will a turbo kit from the 92-95 sohc vtec usdm bolt onto it? mite be some fan issues that ive read about...but basicly will the manifold and the charge pipes all fit into a ef chassi?? i been lookin around mainly see them from 1400-1600...anyone recommend any places to get the greddy turbo kit..also what kinda intercooler set up to run?

ttt,

 

the kit should fit if you reclocate the battery. check this site out on how to ef'ize the greddy kit.

The JDM D15B (92-95 1.5L SOHC VTEC; 128 hp, it's 130 ps not hp) is a wonderful motor. I've had mine since this past Feb. and love it.

You won't get the VTEC-E as long as you get a 92-95 D15B VTEC (Civic VTi)... the 96+ are the VTEC-E.

The D15B is the bottom-end of a USDM Civic VX (with exception of pistons and maybe a few other things) and the top-end of the Si/EX (Z6). Use the VX Timing Belt! The Z6 one was either too tight or loose for correct tensioning (has different number of teeth)

Enjoy my man!
John

 

thanx for ur replies, nice article on putting the greddy kit on a ef thanx for all ur help guys i really appreciate it

...the d15b is not the equivalent to the z6 the jdm zc sohc vtec is equivalent to the z6 just a tad more power....i know some1 that got a great deal on ebay for the zc sohc vtec....but z6 can be found locally easy....i picked mine up with a crx si tranny for zip, zero, nodda, nothing..

 

d15b good to boost?

 

It's supposed to be very good to boost. Best RS Ratio (Rod/Stroke) in the D-Series stock.

http://www.ardperformance.com/...al=25 -- This shows two identical looking motors (2nd and 3rd listed) the 1.6L ZC SOHC VTEC and 1.5 D15B... they have bad numbers though... the JDM D15B is also 128hp not the 125 they list... so Bserieskllr you are correct... but you must say that the JDM D15B is very comparable to the Z6, in power and price (Price at Hmotorsonline.com that is)

ETi 1.5l VTEC-E 94ps/92hp (our VX motor)
VTi 1.5l VTEC 130ps/128hp (1.5l VX block with d16z6 head)-same hp but less torque, but revved nicely
Domani ZC (sohc vtec) was 1.6l 130ps/128hp, identical to our D16z6
Civic Coupe D16A (sohc vtec) a 1.6l 130ps/128hp, indentical to our d16z6, actually this one was assembled in Ohio/Ontario Honda Plants

yes the VTi came with optional LSD tranny, I had one, its a Torsen type, gearing was the same as a d16z6 on all but the ETi(VTEC-E)

nice page, i c in ur sig ur doing almost the same thing i am d15b with obd1 swap, how does it pull? N/a

 

ttt

 

I just did a D16Z6 swap into my 91 Civic STD. I converted to OBD1, and I'm running a stock P28. There have been some weird problems, but I'm hoping to fire it up tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

sounds good thanx patch

 

no hub changes right? there seems to be a mix review of yes u can use ur std axles and some ppl say change hubs

 

The JDM D15B pulls very nicely... it lacks a little torque compared to the Z6, but revs up so fast! I'm running approx. 15.3 @ 88-89 mph (This was calculated via my mph at the end of a 1/4, which was measured out; will eventually go to a track to get official time) That's with what I have listed in my signature. If you can get one cheap, it's a good motor.

I can't help you on the axles thing.

 

I'm amazed no one has mentioned that you need to convert from DPFI to MPFI then from OBD0 to OBD1... You can do the converting at the same time (likely what you'll do) because the wiring can get confusing for some people (most) I'm not familar with DPFI to MPFI conversions but OBD0 to OBD1 is my thing

 

I have to convert my Si to MPFI when I swap? I already have my OBD0-1 conversion harness.

 

naw u dont have to conver pisetup he was talking about me since i have a dx/std model which came with dualpoint fuel injection

i already know i have to convert it to mpfi but thanx anyways for telling me, thanx for all ur info guys


has anyone put a greddy 92-95sohc vtec kid in there ef? i arleady read that site and theres a lil customization u have to do but it doesnt seem that bad, just wanted to ask if anyone had done it and what the turnout is
