D15 swap question

[AMF]

WUSSUP GUYS ! OK SO GET THIS, MY DAD JUST BOUGHT A CX HATCH FROM MY FUTURE BROTHER-IN-LAW THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE MINE BUT STOCK !!! LOL... SAME COLOR, SAME ENGINE, SAME INTERIOR, SAME EVERYTHING JUST LIKE HOW WE BOUGHT MINE BACK IN 93 BUT BRAND NEW LOOKIN.... ITS SO FUNNY BECAUSE I PUT THEM NOSE 2 NOSE AND TOOK A PICTURE AND I CANT WAIT TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU GUYS. ITS THE B4 AND AFTER EFFECT.... AND GET THIS, IT HAS 589 THOUSAND AND SUMTHING ORIGINAL MILES ON TOO !!!!! lol BUT IT WONT PASS SMOG CUZ OF A BAD CATYLETIC, SO INSTEAD OF PAYING $600 BUCKS FOR A NEW ONE I WAS "TRYIN" TO CONVINCE HIM THAT HE MIGHT AS WELL DO " AN ENGINE SWAP " SINCE THE PRICE FOR A NEW CAT IS BASICALLY HALF WAY TOWARDS A NEW ENGINE AND TRANNY lol.... HE DOES'NT WANT ME TO TOUCH HIS CAR SO IM TRYING TO HOLD MY SELF BACK FROM MODIFYING IT FOR HIM lol... HE DOES'NT WANT ANYTHING LIKE WHAT I GOT GOIN UNDER MY HOOD SO I THINK HE JUST WANTS A NO HASSLE SWAP WITH JUST A SLIGHTLY MORE HORSES FROM THE ORIGINAL 1.5 D15. SUMTHIN THAT GETS UP THE HILLS A LITTLE BIT EASIER.... SO MY QUESTION IS, WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST PLUG AND PLAY APLLICATION AND IF THERE WOULD BE ANYTHING EXTRA, WHAT WOULD WE HAVE TO GET AND DO ????? THX GUYS....

If he wanted a swap, i'm sure he'd tell you. Until then, it's not your car. I wouldn't mess with it. Not your car = not your problem......

In the future it would be alot reader-friendly if you turned CAPS off.

also, spacing out your paragraph would help too.

The best plug and play app. is going to be turbo but that requires knowledge and money.

no i think your dad just wants a car to drive, and doesnt want to f**k with swapping the motor out of it. if it still runs good then why swap it if hes just goin to go from point a to point b.....

plus its his car, not yours. so i suggest layin off him bout it.

yeah ur right about not f**kin with it but its hard to ya know ? lol... but the car has 589 thousand miles !!!! plus the catlytic converter is bad and wont pass smog . remember, the smog regulations in cali f**kin sucks homie !!! the price they're askin to replace it is about 600 bucks! just for the CAT!

so, might as well replace the whole thing if its gonna cost that much right? it runs ok FOR THAT MANY MILES but man, dont you think its time for a new power plant ? thats all im saying..... im just wondering if maybe a d16 of some sort would be as easy as plug it and play it from the original d15B8 ? nothing jurastic....

 

[boosted to 26ps]

for the most part any d16 non vtec would be a direct plug and play...as long as its from the same obd family. with the vtec d series....add two wires

get a DOHC ZC. itl will bolt up, just use some parts from the d15 for obd1 conversion..
its a GREAT little power plant, for little money and will bolt up using your stock motor mounts, trans and axels.
i had one in my 93 LX with an SI trans, and it has some get up and go for a stock+boltons 1.6l thats for sure..

what about the wiring? i think heard that i would have to add a wire or 2 or somthing to run the V-TEC, im not sure. and im guessing that we would have to get a stock exuast set up too huh? i just dont know too much about messin with D-series mainly b-cuz they never really crossed mind....

Jurastic Park anyone? lmao

you need to calm down or youll get the banhammer.

an yes if you go with a z6 or y8, youll have to add the solenoid wire and the pressure switch wire. its pretty easy and simple to do if you know how to repin the ecu connector

........... Has he looked into buying a cat and replacing it on his own??? $600 seems kinda high to me. Plus I've never heard of a situation where someone considers a swap just to pass a smog test..... Obviously there are other benefits, but if it's your fantasy and not your Dad's, then just get him on the right track to replacing the cat first.

Perhaps the title should have been: "Needed: Affordable catalytic converter for Cali D15" in the Parts Wanted Section...

just saying



Almost 600k miles is pretty impressive though.

universal cat + muffler shop = 100 bucks spent

it doesn't need a dealership specific cat, any converter (especially from a reputable muffler shop) will carry on hand universal cats that are direct or close to direct oem specs. even getting one off the interwebz is good enough. Soooo thus your searching has lead you wrong.

Well then realistically, go to a junkyard and find one that's in decent shape and give that a try.
