TheJGB3 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 First of all the '93 is OBDI and the '98 is OBDII, so you will have to convert the engine harness plugs. Second of all Honda does not designate the engine with the VINs 8th character, like most manufacturers do. I had two 2000 Civic EXs, one had a 4 and the other had a 5 for the 8th character of the VIN, but they both had a D16Y8 engine. Also to do this swap you will need the tranny and half shafts with the donor engine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 the motor will swap right over no problem however you will need to wire some things to make the OBDI car compatable with the ODB2 motor or you could swap a OBDI dizzy to the y8 motor and use your stock O2 sensor and then jsut run a vtec wire to the p28 ecu and you would be golden.

airjordan223 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 you coulda thrown a period or two in there to clean it up. so what transmission are you asking about, bolting up to which motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 any d-series motor will bolt to any d-series transmission, as long as it's a d-series Edit: good meow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknskulls Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 can anybody help me here???? i need to no im just waiting to see if will mount and all that ive got the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 the D15b8 is an 8 valve economy motor. the D15b7 is a 16 valve motor. still in the economy aspect but a little more torque than the motor you have and it would be a jump in horsepower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknskulls Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 still same engine mounts?? and wil the tranny that i have hold up to all that??? and does it use the same dis. it doesnt come with one all it comes with is the water pump im going to have to do alot of transfering and need to make sure i dont have to buy anything different thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 yes its the same mounts, and your tranny will take the power hell my d15b8 tranny was mounted to a z6. everything is the same and is a direct plug and play swap. all d-series motrs are interchangablew. parts and internals, as long as it id another d-series motor. everything bolted onto a d-series motor is interchangable with another d-series motor.

rocknskulls Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 going from d15b8 to d15b is is worth it or is there some other engine that would be better for the app.. i only have $800 to spend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 a z6 would be a better swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknskulls Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 how much does one normally cost like i said i only have $800 to spend and if i get the d15b i can put a new clutch in too i think second is going out on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 you should be able to pick up a Z6 motor and buy te P28 ecu for around $400. then all you have to do is run 1 wire to the vtec solenoid. Then you can also replace the clutch and flywheel is youfell for the same price you would of paid for that $800 motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
