i have a 90 Civic HB with a ZC/D16A6 motor in my car, but i recently threw a rod and havent drove the car for awhile. I realized i had an old d15 block in the back of my garage in good condition. I was wondering if it would bolt up? i mean i lined it up and it looks alright...but im wondering if anyone esle has done this. Its not casue i want power its i just want the car running...until i get a b16 put in.

 

Do a search for "mini me"

 

which D15 block?

I thought Mini-me conversions were for the D15 Non Vtec Blocks...mated to d16 Vtec Heads. Correct me if Im wrong?

They are.. You can also use a d16 non-vtec with a d16 vtec head..

 

yeah miens not exactly a mini me and i dont really expect power out of it, i just want to piece it together so i can get it running...but from what i read...the d15b7 block does work...so yeah...thats what ill be doing. Thanks guys

Hey, it's a perfectly legit question. Why? Let's look at the original post: "...I realized i had an old d15 block in the back of my garage...". It could very well be a D15A3 block, which won't work with ANY 88+ civic/crx D16 head. The original poster might know this, or he might not, but I'm not going to assume he does because I see people give out this bad advice (and see noobs accept it) EVERY.....SINGLE.....DAY! Anytime you see someone say "fits all d-series" or "fits all d15s" or "fits all d16s", you can be sure they don't know what they are talking about. I'm just trying to prevent the spread of misinformation, one post at a time.

 

yeah i should of explained myself its a d15b7...i read the topic one guy posted on mini-me's and that helped me out...figuring it will bolt up. so yeah im doing a d15b7 block on a d16a6 head. thanks again guys

 

well it did work fine, i got some pics...just waiting to drop the bad boy in now.

The d15b7 and d16a6 heads are the same one.. Except the a6 has a wilder cam in it..

 

yeah i just polished the **** out of the flywheel and bolted the clutch and tranny on so...it will be a few days before i drop it in, i wasnt lookin for any real gains just so i can drive it around again.

Now did you steal that torque wrench from the antique museum..

Those type of torque wrenches will never break..

...and they are much more accurate, consistent, and reliable than the clicker type.

Hmm.. I didnt know they were more accurate.....Interesting.... The ones that I hate are the ones like snap-on sells where it will vibrate when you get to your torque setting..
