d15b in a 92 dx coupe

[vinnyiscool]

.what are the pro's and cons of this swap. i heard its cheap and easy

 

[Battle Pope]

the 5th gen DX already has a D15 engine...

Do you mean D16? or B16?

 

[vtecsir1]

i believe he means the jdm d15b vtec engine. its very cheap and very easy, i myself am in the process of doing this swap. about 128 hp engine, pros are its cheap, light and had decent power to start with and if your lucky maybe even a tranny. cons are its still not that fast and parts selection

Just get a D16Z6, should be cheaper, and it's the same Hp.

in my area the d16z6 is more expensive than a d15b, i like what i have been seeing from the d15b i'll find out myself this month

alright im gonna get the z6... is it a straight bolt in swap besides running the vtec wires or am i gonna run into other problems.. also can i keep the tranny from my dx for now? thanks guys

 

[vtecsir1]

straight bolt in and yes your dx tranny will work but i would recommend a newer d16y8 tranny. dx has longer gearing then the ex trannies

 

[vinnyiscool]

does any one know where i can find a diagram to dissasemble the whole dash. i want to switch the interior with another dx

Si/EX, shorter gears, better acceleration.
