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?

 

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.

 

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

 

z6 parts own u

 

use Z6 ----

 

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

 

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

 

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)

 

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.
