Re:d16 head on a d15 block?
 

This swap is done all the time. It's known as the "mini-me" swap. I just finished building one for my Civic actually as well. Do a little more research because I'm sure I'm going to leave something out, but the main parts you'll need to do that swap are obviously the 1.6l head (I chose the z6)
head gasket, timing belt, water pump since you've got the timing belt off, and something to control vtec with be it either an RPM switch, VAFC, or an ecu.
If your not MPFI yet, (I beleive you are though), you'll need the MPFI Intake mani setup, injectors sensors and all that business, some wiring, ecu, and distributor.
Oh yeah and make sure you've got some coolant and oil ready as well. Definately check the net for some good writeups, theres a ton out there.

Re:d16 head on a d15 block?
 

if you are going to buy a wrecked si, why not use the whole swap. motor, tranny, etc.

if the block is messed up, you just need what doc posted, a headgasket like trance stated, and add a few wires for the vtec. get the ecu if you can and it will be a snap.

Re:d16 head on a d15 block?
 

well its the complete car with ecu and everything. the prob is taht the trannys f'ed up and so is the clutch. so would it work if i just swapped out the motor and put the trany from my d15 on the 16 motor?

Re:d16 head on a d15 block?
 

Yes that will work, but you will have to run a few wires to the ECU for VTEC if you want to use the P28 ECU from the Si. Very simple. Swap that ---- already. :P

what wires do you mean? im sayi9n just swap the motor and ecu into my car but keep the tranny. wouldnt i be fine like taht?

Re:d16 head on a d15 block?
 

yes, your tranny will work. put your tranny on the d16, use the p28 ecu, run a wire from the vtec solenoid and vtec pressure switch to the appropriate pins on the ecu, voila, done.

Re:d16 head on a d15 block?
 

Just pull everything, wiring harness all the way to the shock tower cause I know the majority of all 92 civic were prewired for vtec and find out what year that wrecked delsol was. If you got the s model also take the rear disks on that Si and everything you can. Seats will bring you some chedda.

Re:d16 head on a d15 block?
 

i have a 94 vtec model wit a small motor and the other car is a 93 si

Re:d16 head on a d15 block?
 

WTF are you talking about? You already have a 1.6 VTEC and you want to swap a 1.6 VTEC into it, but you're asking if it's possible to swap the same exact motor into your car?

So which is it, is it a 1.5 or a 1.6? ???

Re:d16 head on a d15 block?
 

Maybe he's saying the Del Sol came with a 1.5? Who the hell would do that to ya lol....but yeah...It'll work fine.

I would do some READING on this before you even think further on it (I Google'd Mini-Me Honda or somethin and got plenty of good articles) since it sounds like you're about where I was on head swaps. There is also plenty of threads on here and Honda-tech that can take you through the steps completely.

Re:d16 head on a d15 block?
 

Bahaha, I guess that could be. Kinda like my 89 came with a gay ass 88 oddball tranny so I can't use the clutch/flywheel combo I wanted to. >:(

If I catch the ------- swapping inferior parts into good Honda chassis's I'm going to give him a good piece of my mind.... ::shakes fist in air::

No ----! Thats pretty dirty :(

Re:d16 head on a d15 block?
 

del sol came in three models. s, si, dohc vtec
93-95 S D15B7 - 1.5L SOHC 16-valve
93-95 Si D16Z6 - 1.6L SOHC 16-valve VTEC
94-95 VTEC B16A3 - 1.6L DOHC 16-valve VTEC
he did say s in the beginning.

i guess honda would do that to ya. key word: READING

??? 92 civic? he's talking about a del sol and they started in 93.
just swap the motor and ecu and run the 3 wires. simple mang.

Re:d16 head on a d15 block?
 

No ----. keyword=READING

First he says he has the S model and then he says he has the VTEC motor.

Reading owns you.

If you think I was attacking you, then ---- off. Reading doesn't mean ---- if you can't understand it. I read his second statement about VTEC. That was referring to the model, not the engine. The subject clearly states d16 head on d15 block.
n/m

Re:d16 head on a d15 block?
 

And he clearly stated he had a non VTEC model and then went on to say he had the VTEC model, not to mention he never said ANYTHING about having a different motor in it as of now. Don't be such an ------- with your stuck up posts. ::) You were the one that came off with the "I know it all" attitude so ---- yourself.

i know it all attitude! never. hahaah. i don't know ---- compared to you. and i started on you cuz of that ownz you ----. i hate that crap. i never attack anyone and for you to think i did sucked. just end it already. the guy said d15 period. now we scared him off forever to find out the truth.

Re:d16 head on a d15 block?
 

He says he has a STOCK "S" model with a 1.5
Then he says he has a "VTEC" model which means it came from the factory with a 1.6 VTEC motor(D or B series).
Then you come up with this response:
Then you say he clearly states he has the D15 motor.

And I still don't have a clue what motor he has. :P


Haven't we met? ???

;)
