you can use the D15 water pump... i used it on mine and had no problems
make sure you remove the oil jet from the D15 block
RPM activating switches are the worse way to do it .... you will not have the correct timing or fuel maps
get a P28 and wire it up right

the car 92 civic lx the block is a d15b7 the is the 1.6 d16z6 Now you guys say to remove the oil jet? More info on that please Also i should use the si timing belt right ?

 

[E_SolSi]

use the Si timing belt.... if you can get a Si harness you will have no wiring to do (92 civics are all pre wired for VTEC to the shock towers)

heres the oil jet

use some nedle nose plyers or a small nail or something... it pulls right out

why is it necessary to remove this jet??

If my memory serves me , if you don't remove the oil just vtec will never be activated.

If my memory serves me , if you don't remove the oil just vtec will never be activated.

correct, if you dont remove the oil jet then the vtec head does not get sufficient pressure of oil so that the vtec kicks in...

otherwise the head just stays in "safe mode" so to speak and doesnt act like vtec...

make sense ?
