none at all just un bolt and bolt back in simple as jerking off

92hatch-eg6 05-08-2009 04:39 PM

o ok haha i thought wood be more difficult cuz of the wiring being for a right side drive car thanks

its a direct bolt in. i had one in my 93 coupe for a while. the only thing i had to modify was the tab on the back of the manifold for the purge solenoid. the tab was there but i drilled a hole and tapped it so it would bolt on like stock.

well in a dx you'd need to wire up vtec but i assume you already knew that.

i have a d15b with a dx tranny in my cx. Gearing isnt as bad as ppl make it out to be. the motor makes enough power that it doesnt bog... i love my dx tranny for boost.

txdohczc 05-10-2009 01:52 AM

well that depends if his d15b is vtec not all d15bs are vtec

92hatch-eg6 05-10-2009 10:55 AM

thanks for the help guys and the d15b im talkin about is vtec

blackoutgt 05-10-2009 09:43 PM

i just assume when ppl say d15b that they are talking about the jdm vtec. ive never actually seen anyone buy a jdm d15b that was non vtec...i mean its not like they can be that much more expensive. i didnt know there was a non vtec jdm sohc that was stamped d15b. i've never even seen a d15b non vtec for sale come to think of it

es.roadster 05-11-2009 11:32 PM

so have you decided?
the d15b vtec is the king of sohc V's!

Scott-EP 05-12-2009 06:20 AM

i used to beat on my d15b. it wouldnt die. it saw 15psi on a 10psi street tune quite a bit along with way too many 8k+ rpm pulls
