    Compression test/Fuel relay

    This is handled by the main relay. It is located under the dash on the driver's side, in the same area as the fuse panel and the hood release. It's a decent sized relay so it should stand out. Most are gray and held in place by a single 10 or 12mm bolt. Look for a multi-pin connection on...

    overheating help

    The manual says to torque them in a 2 step fashion. Initially to 22 ft/lbs, then to a final 47 ft/lbs (D15Z7, D15Z6, D15B7 engines) or 53 ft/lbs (D1Z6 and D15Z1 engines). For the initial tightening and the final tightening follow a criss-cross pattern starting from the inner most bolts...

    Questions: Wastegate ports and name this part

    Well there y'all go. Should anyone have a similar question in the future, the instructions for the hook ups given in that PDF should be very similar to other wastegates too. Most wastegates operate under the same principles. Of course we should follow each manufacturer's specific instructions...

    D15B7 With D16Z6 Head Problems

    x2 Yes, intrigued we are.... Did you just replace enough parts till you eventually nixed the problem, or was there some sort of actual diagnosis that took place?

    overheating help

    Yeah I've heard that a Y7 would be a pretty good bet. They're a bit thinner so you'd get that small amount of increased compression, they are made out of a better material, and they happen to be easier to remove / clean should the head be pulled again. I haven't heard much about comparisons of...

    Questions: Wastegate ports and name this part

    Could you post a pic of that? I'm kinda having a hard time following.. I suppose hooking it up other ways would be fine if it still allows the wastegate to operate properly. The only potential flaw I see with those connections is having the upper port plugged/capped as this wouldn't allow...

    Quick cylinder head compatibility question...

    Ok, update. Aside from learning that smashing my face on my desk from finding millions of pages of incomplete info doesn't help anything, I did learn the following: -The intake and exhaust manifolds will bolt up fine using B7 gaskets. -The head gasket of choice appears to be a 96-00 Y7...

    Questions: Wastegate ports and name this part

    This is all assuming this is a "typical" wastegate design: The lower port is for the air supply (intake pressure inlet port). The upper port is a vent or connection for a boost controller. If you run with the lower port connected to the air supply and the upper venting, the wastegate will...

    Quick cylinder head compatibility question...

    I have destroyed the search function on this forum and I am well aware of the mini me swap. As I said, none of the answers I found were specific to my application and therefore left me thinking "Yeah, it should probably work with these parts.." But that's not the type of answer I'm looking...

    overheating help

    Well if anyone knows otherwise feel free to correct me, but I don't think RTV is needed when installing the hg. It may depend on the gasket brand / type, but usually it isn't need aside possibly from a few key areas. Perhaps an improperly installed hg was the cause of your issues, even though...

    Quick cylinder head compatibility question...

    I have a D15B7 block and I am looking to put a D16Y7 cylinder head on it. So my question is: What is required to bolt a D16Y7 cylinder head to a D15B7 block? I know, use the search bar. I have and the results have been mixed and aren't exactly what I'm looking for, and a lot of the answers I...

    overheating help

    That's good you got it off. Check for cracks while you're at it. But what do you mean by silicone? Like a RTV sealant? Or there was build up around where the coolant passages meet up with the hg? [There would kind of be a mirror image of the coolant passages on the head side and/or water...

    suspension question, please help

    Hmm... The sound could be just travelling and playing tricks on you... Either way (and this probably goes without saying) I'd definitely replace it. Maybe even both sides since they aren't that expensive and you'll have all the necessary tools out anyway. I'm NOT saying replace everything you...

    Haha, good times. But seriously, try those links... I don't know how far you are from that shop on Craigslist, but a great deal may be worth a little drive.

    D15 swap question

    Well then realistically, go to a junkyard and find one that's in decent shape and give that a try. Or: Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Catalytic-Converter-1994-95-Honda-Civic-1-5-1-6L-/380221890454?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5886fd9f96...

    suspension question, please help

    It could be the most rearward mount... Or possibly some worn out control arm bushings. You'll most likely just need to get under there with a pry bar and start moving things around, otherwise everyone is just going to through out random suggestions. That is unless someone has had this...
