VTEC head on the ole D15?
Kahuna
familEE
Alright, I think I've pretty much decided against getting a motor for my car. I'm not much worried about going super fast, I'd just like a little more oooommp. I don't have the time nor the tools to correctly install a motor, and I hate half-assing stuff.. So I think I have decided to freshen up the D15 and hopefully get a little more power out of her with around $500.
I REALLY wanted a ZC with a 5speed, but there is no way to get engines and stuff around here, and shipping on motors is outragous.. So here is what I'm thinking about putting in the motor, and I would like to know if you guys think its a good idea..
Vtec Head
What head do you put on the D15? What all do you need to put it in? How do you put it in?
MPFI Swap
What parts do you need for a MPFI conversion, and what engine do they need to come from?
Piston and Rings, may need boring, I'm unsure.
What piston rings do ya'll reccomend? I've always ran Wiseco in my race bikes, but I don't know if cars are a different story.
Bigger Diameter Exhaust, with a gutted cat (no emissions in TN)
What size do you reccomend?
Now, I've wonered about cam pulleys, and underdrive pulleys, etc. How much power would I be looking at by putting in different pullys, and what are some good brands?
If I get enough money, I may go with FI as well, this is why I want to go ahead and get some new pistons and rings.
If anyone cares, I made a list of the stuff That I want to put into the Wagon, but I don't know if it will ever happend...
Exterior:
All red taillights
Black Halo Projectors with all amber corners
Police Interceptor Emblems (I'm going with a new theme for the car, you guys will have to wait and see)
Hood Pins (Ricey, I know, but they go with the theme)
1/2 Black Hatch, and maybe a black hood if it looks ok.
Interior:
Racing seats with 5-point harnesses
Oil, Boost, Voltage, Head Temp, Oil Temp, and Fuel Guages
Battery and Fuel shutoff switches (goes with theme)
Vtec Controller
Performance:
Sway Bars
4-wheel disc brakes (oversized)
Plug Wires
If You guys could help me out with any of this I would be VERY greatful! Also how much power would I be looking at with these mods, and is this a sensible choice?

call up JIMMY @ ww.jprmotorsports.com
motor $350
Dist $100
for ZC sohc
if you go sohc Vtec D15 this is what your going to need
HEAD D16Z6 or Y8
DPFI to MPFI
OBD1 converison harness
injectors
Distributor D16z6 or y8
P28 ECU
Vtec AFC controller for timimg and fuel will be off 1 tooth
Y8 head gasket
Z6 timing belt
CAM GEAR
thats all i can think of
this swap will be pretty expensive to piece together
That seems like a lot of parts for the VTEC swap, when I could just put a motor in there with no tuning and have it make more power.
you'll need complete engine with wire harness, MPFI conversion (very easy, just swap around a couple wires and add about 4) shift linkage and DA axles. and since you are doing a AT -> MT swap, you'll need a MT pedal set. it should only take about 1 to 2 days, depending on if you know wut you're doing and if you have all the parts.
if someone could back me up on this: i believe there might be a couple other dumb things to mess with when it comes to AT -> MT wiring... :?:
ask 4 jimmy the d15bvtec is $350 FOR THE MOTOR ALONE
Will it bolt to my stock AUTO tranny? Can I use the stock ECU?
and when i said P had more experience, i meant more experience than me. so dont get your panties in a bunch.
