Ok well heres my decision. I can either pay like $400 and have a shop install my d15 or get some friends together and do it myself. Is there anything really that hard with the swap? I really dont think its worth paying more than the motor for installation cost. heh. If anyone has tips lemme know. Thanks.

 

do it yourself!!!! it's easy man, I can pick up a honda motor by myself... seriously, they are little and very easy to work with... don't pay!!!

 

is this d15b vtec? Hell, If you have the tools and friends to help do it yourself so you can learn more about it

 

Thats the idea. But then again I dont feel like coming into problems that take days and weeks to fix like my turbo install. So I wanna make sure of everything before its done.

 

The wiring on your sol id fucked due to the IACV setup and all the O2 crap. The y7 harness is prone to break the TP sensor so i would extend a few of the leads out a bit

 

didnt quite follow that onyx can ya explain?

 

you can do it over a weekend easily. When i first started i think the two hardest steps to swaping motors where breaking the joints and breaking the crank pulley, in my case i found out its easier to break the pulley while its still in the car, you can do it either way... just make sure you have the proper tools. for the joint i use a "C" tie rod joint pusher/puller thinggy.

 

your IACV on your y7 is setup for is basically an automadic IACV and its 3 wire and not 2. also the throttle possition sensor gets broke by exsessive pull on it from the way the Y7 harness is setup, i would extend it out a bit.

 

ic.. so how would I remedy the 2-3 wire? Install the IACV from the d15 instead of my obd2 sensor?

 

it jsut takes a bit of wiring, ill see if i cant throw a how-to together.
