one other thing that you will need to do with the wiring - the D15B has the MAP senor on top of the throttle body - your DX used a firewall mounted MAP sensor - you will need to unplug the MAP on the firewall and plug it into the MAP on the throttle body - the wires probably won't reach - you may be able to free up enough slack in the wires inside the car where the wiring goes through the firewall - if not you will need to splice a short piece of wire into the 3 wires in order for them to reach
same here... the wires reached just fine for my gsr motor

Has anyone ordered from tigerjapanese? Shipping calculator to Texas on thier site says $205 is that just an estimate or is that final? If it is then I can order on monday probably.

they dont have a shipping calculator......................................gotta call on monday
when you call them make sure you offer them something sometimes they will come off the price, see if they will do it for 550 shipped

Damn $550 shipped?? I could see that for the engine itself but the engine, tranny, and ecu? Maybe $850 minimum.
yea 550 was just for the motor, but if your gona spring and get a new tranny also try to get the lsd tranny the d15b also came with a lsd tranny

It says "add 5-speed hydraulic transmission - $175". Think it's THE d15b tranny?
JDMTigerJapanese - Engine with tranny $590, add ecu for $150, shipping calc. says $205
so total - $940 if the shipping is correct.
Hmotors - Engine $499, add trans for $175, add ecu for $125, shipping costs unknown but that would be $800 before ship.
And I want to find a VTi emblem and a Ferio emblem and also a Vtec emblem if I can

Alright you know what...I'm having a LOT of trouble deciding what I want to do. I've got just about enough money to buy a d15b vtec but I got a raise at work and the boss tells me I got more coming if I wait another couple months I can get a b16a sir 2 changeover...Hard choice considering I want to hurry up and get it back on the road but I also want to run this guy's supercharged Sunfire and this supercharged Cavalier and I don't want to be slow.
Is it very complicated swapping in a B? I looked on Rywire they have a dx to b16a wire harness conversion but is it a simple fit just take out the old put in the new?

You call THAT simple? Jeez..I've never done anything close to a swap before. But I'll save up for a b16a and give it a shot. Probly take me forever.

D15b Vtec and 129 hp next week.....B16A sir 2 and 169 hp in 2 months harder than a bitch install but faster....but if I get the D15b vtec with vitara pistons, eagle rods, and some machine work i can run 300 whp with a turbo later on.....i'm getting headaches every day thinking this through....fuck....lol

if you cant wire it like i couldnt get it to work the engine will still work plugged into that ecu so just plug it in and drive it to your local performance shop and have them do it it only cost me like 70 bucks bringing the total of my mini me swap to a whopping 200 bucks
