Ok I threw a rod bearing in the EX.

I am having troubles finding a replacement d16z6, and one place told me they had a d15b vtec that would work in its place, but I am not sure that it will.

I need this to be a very straight forward simple swap, with no modification. I just want the car to run again and run well, so that I can finish the sale of it and move on to the next car.

If anyone knows the real truths behind all this let me know.

Thanks.

 

Any D-series motor should fit in your car with no modifications. Although, you may hurt its resale value if you substitute a USDM D15B(?). So unless the shop has a JDM D15B, I'd still try and find another D16Z6.

::Thinks for a moment::

Unless there's a USDM D15 that *doesn't* suck that I'm forgetting...

 

yeah ive heard they all suck, im kinda screwed now anyways, as I just found out that the people i thought would throw me a loan, will not.

So now i dont know what im gonna do, I still owe on the car and cant sell it for enough to pay it off and I have to cover it fully insured too.

 

D16Z6's are dirt cheap, they're under $1K. Honestly I wouldn't pay more than $500 for a complete D16

 

You can't use just any D series motor with that ECU. If you get a NonVTEC motor (D15B7), you'll have to change the ECU to match the motor.

 

I paid $300 for my D16z6...sans ECU

 

where at?!?! everyone one ive found they want 800 for.

the d15b they want to sell me is jdm 1.5L vtec 128hp

i need a no modification swap.

 

my wallet says that $500 is hella expensive, considering there is a whopping $4 in there now.

 

As far as I know (anyone correct me if I'm wrong...) the JDM D15B should require no modifications other than maybe a new ECU.

I bought my Z6 from a friend. They're cheap when sold by people that have done B-series swaps and just have their old Z6 sitting around. If I was offered a D15B for a good price...I'd take it.

 

the ecu wont work? both engines are vtecs....

Ive found one for $475, the cheapest d16z6 ive found is $800
