Hi; I am looking for an advice.
I have 89 civic hatchback and it’s engine is gone. It also has a 4speed transmission. I need not much out of this car, just another 100,000 miles. Everything else is new or in good condition.
I found someone selling d15b8 engine with a 5 speed transmission for $250. History not very clear but they claim it is from a 94 car that ran well at 98,000 miles. So here are some questions.
First and general, what you all think about that combination, can I expect a lot of miles out of it?, would it give a little more power to the car, which I would like, etc.
Second, would it be a direct fit mechanically, I mean the same supports, axles, shifting, etc.
Third, is wiring the same and do I need a new ecu or my old one will work?
I will appreciate quick responses since I have to give an answer beginning next week. Thanks a lot
