[Jm0n3yj0hns0n]

i have a 93 del sol, i want a b16 in it, some one said its a pain in he ass to do the swap and to just go with a d15b or d16? Advice?

 

[AHHVTEC]

its a easy swap. the del sol came with a b series also, so its not that hard,

 

[Jm0n3yj0hns0n]

i though that they only came wih the d series? what would i have to do to swap a b series in ther> like ecu, tranny what?

 

[AHHVTEC]

they came with a d15 d16 and b16,,you need the motor and tranny, motor mounts, ecu, shift linkage, and new axles

 

[Jm0n3yj0hns0n]

o thats not to bad, someone told me id have to go with a new tranny and shit and that it wouldnt be worth it, thank you

you do need a new tranny you have to have a b series tranny with the b series motor

yeah that makes sence lol, i might just end up going for a d15b or a d16 for now untill i can get the money to do the b16 swap, what do you perfer the d15b or d16?

 

[AHHVTEC]

i like the d15b vtec, its a super super easy swap thats what i put in my crx and i love it

 

[Jm0n3yj0hns0n]

alrightyy, how much would a swap be for a d15b?

 

[AHHVTEC]

500 bucks, you can use all your stock stuff like tranny ect ect, but unless you already have vtec you will need to get a ecu Specializing in JDM-USDM Engines & Parts...hmotorsonline.com

Just a quick question here...

What model is your Del Sol? If you have an Si, then you already have a D16Z6, which has VTEC. If you have a base model, then you've got a non-VTEC D15. You could easily convert the D15 to VTEC with the head rainer is offering you.

Keep in mind though that the transmission is part of the equation. If you're looking to have a fast D15/D16, then aside from just the motor I'd also look for an EX or Si tranny. The gears are shorter and will help you accelerate faster. The transmission that's attached to your D15 has long gears; good for gas mileage but not good for going fast.

One more thing to think about. If the B16 is what you really want, then do you really want to spend any money on a temporary motor swap? I mean you could take the $500-$700 you're going to spend on a VTEC D-Series and save that towards a B16 instead. Unless there's something wrong with the motor you have and you need to swap it now I just don't see the point of spending a good chunk of money on a motor that's not your first choice.

Are you going to be doing the swap yourself? Or are you going to have a shop do it? Consider that too. If you're having a shop do it then why pay for two swaps?

If you'll be happy with a VTEC D-Series than go for it, but if what you really want is the B16 then I'd say skip the D and save your money.
