Thanks Tony. Your support was much appreciated. Here are the pics you scolded me about . :) I did this in my apt. underground garage. Where there's a will, there's a way. :p

d15b vtec Pretty clean :) for $375 after tax MAKOTO AUTOPARTS CORPORATION in Gardena, CA. They're also in Virgina. Ask for Dave. Very nice person. Local pick-up saved shipping. 6 month unlimited mile warranty could not be beat. They're on ebay.

The only thing that fit differently from the d16z6 to the d15b vtec was that the power steering bracket didn't line up all the way. The red arrow points to what didn't line up. The blue went in just fine. I guess the d15b block is longer.

I didn't use a compressor, but my Dewalt electric impact wrench sure came in handy. Right now I have a P28 w/ RP17 & RP18 removed w/out the jumper on RP18 because I got an automatic P28 and I have a 5-speed. I did need help with the axles and bleeding the clutch. :hs: My friend Kevin Doung helped me. Thanks Kevin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Smog on Monday.

Awesome, have fun with that thing man.

Bitchin'. Good work, man. Glad my DIY worked. It's great to hear that people use that and get their car going again. Very rewarding feeling. :)

Again, nice work. :D

Thanks again, Goat :)


Thanks Josh. I swear I read that DIY 30 times before doing it. I even put the pics on my Treo 650 so I could refer to them while working. Rewarding is right. I almost started passing out cigars :chuckles:

Nice work.
