OK, it seems that this is something us EF guys need to get together to help out those doing this swap. Ill list what I have as the propor parts, and you guys can come along and add from your experience or correct me if Im wrong. OK.

From 95 Civic EX

Spark plugs and wires
Distributor cap and rotor
Upper radiatior hose
ECU (depending on your application)

From 95 Civic VX

Timing belt ??? tensioner, and spring
Oil filter
Thermostat and gasket
Lower radiator hose
Water pump

Misc

Oil
Antifreeze
electrical connectors and pin removal tool
Use the clutch and other transmission components from your year and tranny type. Also its best to convert to OBD-1 and use a conversion harness.

My goal here is to try to get the most complete list of parts here for this swap, as it seems many folks have questions pertaining to this particular setup. All you guys that have done this setup please add your opinions and experiences. Thanks

 

waterpump from a vx, the oil filter can be from ex, vx, whatever. vx timing belt, thermostat can be from any obd1 sohc, hoses I got were for a d15b7 (dx) so those will probably be the same for all obd1 sohc,

 

Noone else has any input on this?

 

What do i need as far as injectors go? The stock injectors are broken and im not sure what injectors to use. I'm converting to OBD1 also. Z6 injectors? Thanks

 

If you are converting to obd1 you have two options. Either use your stock injectors with the injector box, or eliminate the injector box and use the obd1 injectors.

 

Well 2 of the stock injectors are broken, so they need to be replaced anyway. So whats my best bet? Are z6 injectors OBD1? Thanks for the help.

 

z6

 

Z6 injectors are obd1

 

Hold up, what about mounts. Do we just reuse the stock mounts from our cars? Or do we need to mix and match parts?

 

stock mounts work. we have dseries mounts and its a dseries engine

 

dont you have to remove the block mounting plate from the d15b and bolt up the stock one?

 

Which ECU is recommended for OBD-1? What about OBD-0?

 

For 0bd1 you want to run a p28 (92-95 civic ex or si). For obd0 a pg7 (integra) or pm6 (CRX Si)would be recommended

 

What about a wiring harness....should i convert to mpfi then use the OBD1 conversion, or just use a 92-95 ex harness? Thanks for the help guys.

 

wow, its amazing how the ef has really turned into the POOR MANS HONDA. u guys need to search a little bit on all this stuff, its not a hard swap to do at all, and some of the parts u have specified are wrong.

1st off, all honda injectors are the same size (whith 5 exceptions) 88-91 is obd0 92-95 is obd1 and 96-00 is obd2. they are all 240cc, from the civic dx to the integra type r, all 240cc, EXCEPT. CRX HF, 190cc. civic cx 190cc. civic vx 190cc. H22 prelude 345-360cc. and all dual point cars are different too.

you need the full ex head, bolt that **** on, but make sure to remove the oil retention plug, or no vtec for you. you need the oem water pump (works fine), the oem thermostat, (works fine) and the oem oil filter. also the vx timing belt is wrong. you want the ex timing belt. the vx is to short and will whine.

convert the are to mpfi, the get an obd1 conversion harness, thats really the best way to make this setup run.

and now my brain just shut down, so if u guys have any more questions, pm me

whats the ex head for....we're talking about a D15B swap. Anyways, i wasnt sure if 92-95 dx injectors would work. Thanks for clearing that up.

Thanks for the imput Brett, but you sir need to read the title of the thread before posting. This is specific the the JDM d15b vtec engines advertised all over the place. There is no usdm equivelent of this motor. Got mine from usedforeignengines.com, excellent shipping, very helpful, and I highly recommend them.

 

What PCV valve and fuel filter?

Also I saw another post someone found an actual P08 timing belt..

 

You will use the fuel filter from the car the engine is going in. PCV valve will be for a d16z6, or 95 civic ex.

This thread is for a JDM D15B VTEC; not a mini me.....

 

Can anyone confirm the timing belt?
