My stock engine bit the bullet a couple months ago, the harmonic balancer came lose (I have yet to have how that could happen explained to me), tearing up my crank. So, after searching for an engine I could afford without having to buy too many other parts to make it work, I went with a JDM D15B (I think in the states they're stamped D15Z7?) Anyway, the only two things I had to hunt down were a P28 ECU and a wiring harness, since my old engine wasn't VTEC and the harness on the new engine was cut all to hell. I got the motor from Engine World (engineworldusa.com, 1-800-903-4430) for $450, plus $170 shipping, with 6 month unlimited mile warranty.

Everything from my old engine bolted right up without too much hassle. Here's what I have so far:
D15B
Skunk 2 Intake Mani
DC Headers (I think I want these wrapped in the near future)
No name - Ebay Short Shifter
No name Cold Air Intake

So, it's a slow start, and I'll be adding to things as I go along, maybe this time next year I'll start shopping for a turbo, but I'll light that fire cracker when I get there. Like I said, I'll get pics up ASAP, comments are not only welcome but appreciated as always.

JDM D15B's are JDM D15B's in the states

Closes thing we have to that is the D16Z6 or D15Z1(depends on how you look at it).

Ah.. i read that D15Z7 bit on some site, can't remember where but that's the first time i had heard that.. guess it's not true lol

The D15Z7 is the 3-stage VTEC motor I believe(I believe they were only in Asia). In Japan, that's also the D15B too!
