my d15b7 is shot. found a nearby d16z6 for $450 with 76k miles on it. and a 90 day worenty. do u think it is a good price? and deal?

well my friend say he can get Ls 98 for 900.00

$450 sounds pretty good is the shop have a good reputation? what does the warranty cover? mileage seems a lil high but i would get it but thats just me since im in the same situation.. A shop around here sells JDM D15b for $550 + tax and 3 month warranty as well

that's overpriced and completely irrelevant..





about the 76k z6 w/ a warranty for $450.. that's a good deal

as long as it looks clean and theres no signs of leaks anywhere id pick it up for that price

ty guys. im gonna try to grab it tomarrow as i cant find another motor anyway. but my motor is non vtec 1.5 that is a 1.6 v tec at least i think its a 1.6. but i know its vtec. but what i need to know is how i can wire up the vtec. can i do it later. and do i need a new ecu for this motor or can i use mine? please guys i need some answers on this one.

You'll need a P28 ECU and you'll need to run 2 wires from the head to the ECU and one ground which will give you vtec. Everything else should be a direct swap
Don't forget to replace the timing belt & water pump before you put the motor in... it's much easier to do now while the motor is out of the car.

Be sure to get a P28 that matches your car's tranny (auto or manual)

Wiring info can be found in the mini-me thread: http://civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=10

ok with mine they gave me the engine harnes. that hooks into like the fuse box this has the connecter for the v tec. so can i use this harnes and not have to wire anything else in after i put in the computer. or do i still have to rune the wires.also there is a extra blug on the z6 intake.and my old harness doesnt have a plug for. this means i have to use the new harness or should i use my old intake. i really need to try to get this done tomarrow so someone please help. also where is a diagram of the locations on the ecu? i also didnt relize i needed new spark plug wires lol. also should it be ok without a timing belt cover? it seems to be thing after thing like my old powersteering mount only 2 bolt holes line up. so only 2 bolts can hold it on. the 2 that did line up is the 2 top ones.

bump

u looking for jsut the pins in the ecu or were the ecu is actually place in the car? if its the d16z6 its just plug and play. just pin the vtec in. look under electrical for that i think? ill check. but you could use the z6 harness if u wanna go thru ripping the old one out.id just check the old harnesss make sure everythings all legit and functioning. u got a pic of the intake thing u were talking bout? it shouldnt have anything different then the b7 other then the vtec. ohh if u havent ordered the timing belt tensionor and wp i highly suggest rockauto.com or 1aauto.com. payed 66 and change for my b7 tb set. but yah take some pics im sure me or someone else will gladly help ya.

try check out teals mini me thread also that might help with the wiring. or some other questions. or this guide. http://civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=12066

i can try to get a pic but i never can get it to post

oh i dont have the whole harness just the engine harness. and im looking for the pins on the new computer
