I bought my 95 DX for $200 needing a motor. $500 got me a D16Z6 with the harness/ECU and a 5-speed trans and linkage all with ~80k miles on it. Bought a new clutch/flywheel from Autozone for around $150 and put it in. The only other "big" extra costs I can think of was the $60ish on new clutch...

That's what I'd figured. Guess I'll just buy the cheaper one.

I've got a '95 DX that I put a D16Z6/5spd into. Swapped harness/PCM, etc. Has been running fine for the last 7-8k miles, 32-33mpg around town with the stock wheels back on it now, but am looking to see if I can squeeze a little more MPG out of it....starting with the oxygen sensor that I...

300-350whp on a built D-series will be more reliable than 350whp on a stock B-series :p You could probably forge the D-series motor for under a grand including machine work. A stock B18 swap is going to be what....$1500-2000? Then if you get sick of that, you need to go out and forge that, but...

^^^ I'm with those guys, but you know that already :D

Yeah, go ahead. Duplicolor engine paint works great. Make sure to use some primer, and a clear coat is always a good idea.

Call them up again and ask what they recommend for the street. They might have the same pedal feel, but the stage 2 probably will handle a bit more slipping than the stage 3 can on the street. Don't go overkill on clutches. If a stage 2 will handle the power you'll be making, don't go to a stage...

B18C1 is the fastest of those you're looking at N/A B18B1 and B16A are both pretty close N/A B18B1 has lower compression and therefore is more boost-friendly than the other two. B18B1 is also larger than B16A, so you'll have better low-end from the beginning, plus you'll be able to throw...

Of course you wouldn't enjoy it as much as the GSR before you boost. The GSR makes more power N/A. I say base it off what you want once boosted. Any of the motors you pick are going to be a huge difference over stock. As said, there really is no replacement for displacement....except boost :D...

Yes, it will be a noticeable difference. Is it worth it? That can only be decided by you :D

We can't tell you how happy you're going to be with something. If you're used to driving a D15B7, you'll be happy driving a D16Z6 for a while. If you're used to driving a 400rwhp+ Camaro, then even a 250whp turbo B16 is going to feel at best "okay" Are you going to be happy with 160hp in your...

Sure.

I still don't understand. You can spend less than a grand forging your motor, and then you have $1900 left over to turbo it immediately instead of having to wait. Plus it'll be more reliable at 250-300whp, and you can crank it up much higher without fear of breaking parts if you get bored with...

Why don't you just pull the motor in your car, buy the Vitaras pistons and Eagle rods, and have your block built? Seems a lot cheaper than buying a D15B and then slapping new internals in that, and a lot cheaper than a B16/B18 swap. Seems like a grand you don't need to spend. Plus while the...

Great to know about the plugs, all other wiring isn't an issue. I know my stock engine harness doesn't have the VTEC wire, but I didn't think to check the other side that'd go to the ECU. If that wire is already there, it just makes this swap all the easier, no running wires through the...

I've got a '95 DX coupe with a bad motor, and I just picked up a D16Z6/5spd package that came with the P28 ECU, engine harness, manifolds, shift linkage, etc. Picked up new clutch hydraulics and pedals as well. Will the P28/5spd ECU plug right into my stock P06/auto harness (ECU is located in...

Of course I forgot about coilpacks. What year did those start in these cars? Now I can't decide between something like a D16Y8 or a D15Z1 again. The Y8 would give me a lot more power, but at the same time the Z1 should give me a lot more mileage. Either should swap right in, and then its just...

Just picked up a '95 DX coupe with the D15B7 with a blown motor (supposedly was a blown head gasket, but once I took it apart I saw part of the block missing is what caused the head gasket to fail :mad: Actually looking for a VTEC-E swap for gas mileage. I've got a supercharged LS1 car for when...
