nice job man....movin right along, it's so much easier with an engine stand!

so she just needed new bearing then? nothing else needed for the internals?

I bought a d16z6 and it was seized. the bearings in it where wrong. So I took my old d16z6 block w/rod knock I had sitting in my Garage left over from my coupe and put in new bearings. I robbed the z6 head off my seized paper weight z6 and put my old z6 out of my coupe back together.

I will go work on the engine Tomorrow after work, Just some small misc stuff needed to get the engine ready to drop in. One big one is wiring in VTEC.

I have some people willing to trade a Virgin p28 for my Virgin p72, I will end up swapping ECU's with someone over the weekend.

I am super pumped about getting this car back together. I am really kicking myself for not just buying a JDM D15b VTEC, even with shipping it would have been cheaper then getting this engine ready to drop in. Atleast I will have a good engine to last me next to forever with.

- Fri Jul 24, 2009 2:11 pm #132981 ahhh....that's what i thought cause i knew you had the ol' z6 hangin around from the coupe. mixing and matching works! have you tested compression or anything yet to make sure she is good to go?

i hope the wiring of VTEC goes smootly for you, i think there is plenty of info online to follow, does the p72 run a z6, i think you mentioned that is for a gsr?

i don't know much about the D15b VTEC, i know it's JDM only, but is it basically a mini-me with a b7 bottom and z6 head or is it own's hybrid with a d15 vtec head and a different bottom end? stoked to see it next weekend man! my car started this morning first time so i'm pumped

- Sun Jul 26, 2009 2:14 am #133369 Thanks to my local Pick a Part Junk Yard I got New Parts, They Just got it a EK Sedan and a DC Integra.


Got some EK Seats. The ones in the DC wear gone already. I will be installing these into my Sedan Soon.


EK LX Cluster. Currently at 76258 Miles. I will be swapping this into my Sedan. I get a Tach and I get the better looking EK Dails. I have wanted to do this since I got my Hatch. Love these Gauges.


DC Cruise Control Stearing wheel unit.
I Will be using controls to work an aftermarket Cruise Control Device. As long as it looks looks OEM It should be good enough.

I also picked up a replacement antena for the back of DC, it froze up last winter and broke. I have just had it all the way up and the power unhooked, I will be swapping this in later today when it cools down. Its 88F here and were use to like 55-60F

I was planning on going and working on my Sedan, however the heat zapped most of that energy and will take off tomarrow in the morning so I can get started earily before it heats up. Tons of pics tomarrow when I get home.

Thanks!,I will think about the cluster.


Where I am right now. I was going to get the engine and tranny together however I couldn't find they throw out bearing, looked all over and couldn't find it, called it a night then after cleaning up found it inside the old tranny.

I will be going back Monday after work to finish. I need to hook engine/tranny, put the tranny mount on and put it in the car, rehook wiring harness, water lines, linkage, axles, etc.

I will be driving it home Monday assuming nothing goes wrong.

Assuming Nothing goes Wrong, I will be rolling down on Sunday in my Sedan.

I have my EK Seats at my Uncles, I most likely install them before I leave my Uncles and head home. I doubt I will have the cluster installed before sunday.

This heat sucks. I cant wait for it to go away, Until then I am glad I still have an A/C Cooled Integra Parts Runner car. Its amazing what can get stuffed into the back of it, Way more then my EK Hatch. Its so the new parts runner car.

I will post up pics/details of how I hook up Cruise Control. I will have to do more work then originally though However I really really want Cruise so will make it work. However this will have to be done after the meet.

I am going to use as many OEM Cruise parts I can get and then splice the wiring into an aftermarket Cruise Control system my dad bought for a 88 Prelude Si we had back in '98. However we never installed it so its been sitting on shelfs and made 3 moves in its nice sealed box. I will fix this.

- Mon Jul 27, 2009 8:05 pm #133628 man, you get it a little easier up north, seattle-ish is generally ~10 degrees cooler but this 105 shit has to go! your lucky that your car has A/C, my parts runner has A/C but it don't work and takes R12 so i'm screwed there...


i found this article this morning that could potentially help, but maybe not since it deals with the SRS wiring for cruise that is already in the car:

i'm kinda thinking i want remote start......

Plans after the swap? Swap in my EK Cluster, Swap in my EK Front Seats, Install Cruise Control, Tint Windows, Install A/C. I want to go down lower so I might be getting quality coils or new struts with adjustable sleves on them.

Why Cant you swap a Motor?
