Hey guys this is my first post here and i'm not used to your fourms. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong spot!
Here's the deal...I gotta 1995 Honda Del Sol S with the 1.5 motor in it. The cars been through a motor swap, or at least that's what guy that had it before told me. I can see a few wires that are cut under the dash and what not. It needs some work, but its for my girlfriend so im fixing it up.
The motor runs ok, it's real weak and seems to smoke around 3500-5500 rpm. I am guessing the rings are shot and the valve seals are prolly dry.
My queastion is how hard is it to swap out the 1.5 and drop in a 1.6 sohc VTEC? The b16s or B18 will be put into my project, so thats out of the question. I found a few 1.6s for pretty cheap, but are the trans...ecu...axles...everything needed with the swap? Or would it be easier to buy a new/er 1.5 to fix the probs?
Thanks alot for you time, hopefully I don't sound like a total idiot and someone can help me out.
