Hey Guys im new to your forum i was reccomened here from HHU. I have a 93 civic hatchback and when i think about it i miht just build a SOHC VTEC motor for boost. i wana hit 12's and i here its possible. I was wondering is the JDM D15 Vtec motor the same is the D16z6? Or can i interchange the parts Let me no cause im soon to purchase a new motor for my civic. it already has a mini me on it but its not running cause i need timing belt tensioner on it and its leaking anti freeze from somwhere. plus i wana build the motor before i put it in so i wana no D15 or D16 Vtec motors?? Thanks

 

You want to run 12's? Are you prepared for that?

You can change and swap almost anything from those two motors(and most all SOHC for that matter). If you plan on running some serious hp, I would stick with the 1.6(D16Z6, D16Y8, D16A6<<<non-VTEC block).

Well do you no where i can pick up a d16z6 or Y8 (i want vtec) cheap cause i don't no where to find one at hmotorsonline doesn't have it so

 

Junkyard, Egay, Forums,....all over the place. Do you need the whole motor, tranny, ecu or just a block or block and head or what?

Well ima going to need complete i guess cause ill end up buying the tranny for better ratio and ecu so i can wire the vtec unless i get a VAFC.

 

i have a fully buily d16y7/y8 mini me. ill be lookin to hit 12s on about 18psi this spring....i say go fo rit... i have about 2000 tied up into the motor, about the same as youd spend on a b series swap....and my setup will **** on a b series swap

 

Don't mean to jack the thread but does the JDM d15 also use a p28 like the d16z6.

 

hey man, my frienust got one of those motors for his civic, cost him 800 bux for everything for the swap. good deal, he has 7k miles on it so far, running 10 psi daily with an afc and 450s, and NO problems. things fast to, he his clutch wasnt slipping itd be even faster! just thought id let you know

 

I believe it uses a P08.

Here is the deal with the jdm d15b

its the "perfect mini-me". It has a very similar bottom to the VX expect it has stronger rods and a z6 pistons. It can run on a p28 all day long. I've had mine turbo since I installed the motor, never a problem. its JDM y0.

Get a z6/y8/a6 They have the strongest rods.
