jdm d15b vtec
 

i just bought a jdm d15b sohc vtec motor, and i want to replace a few things on it such as the timing belt and water pump before i swap it in. do i replace parts on this motor with parts from a d16z6 or from another motor?

Re:jdm d15b vtec
 

This is a good question...would like to know also. I haven't been able to get a definate answer yet. Some say z6 but some say use the vx/cx. ???

Re:jdm d15b vtec
 

the Z6 uses the same parts and the d15b. use the z6 stuff

Re:jdm d15b vtec
 

z6 parts own u

Re:jdm d15b vtec
 

use Z6 ----

Re:jdm d15b vtec
 

ok, one other question, will the starter, distributor and alternator from my 92-95 civic dx motor bolt up to the d15b vtec?

Re:jdm d15b vtec
 

the JDM motor is the D16, with a more agressive cam.--and at a cheaper price. it will work.--

Re:jdm d15b vtec
 

Starter yes..
alternator yes..
distributor no..

Stock civic dx is a d15b7 and has different mount locations on the distributor than a Vtec head so it wont mount down. But if you made some goofy mounts it will work. (I've done it myself)

Re:jdm d15b vtec
 

your d15b7 distributor will work with the same modifications to fit an OBD0 distributor onto a z6 head. the top and front mount "ears" need to be slotted "towards the front". If thats teh only distributor you have, stick it on there and you'll see what i mean.

thanks for the idea, already picked up a new distributor tho.
