so today i ordered my JDM D15b so ill will soon cross over to the vtec side. along with a Ex tranny to replace my D15b7 and Dx tranny.[:'(] it should be here in 3days time....im getting new axels, and i new clutch i was going to get a XTR stage 2 or 3 seeing i will boost the motor in the future but should i just get an Exedy OEM replacement?

 

good job, hope it all work s out well for you and cant wait to see some pics.

 

I would just get the exedy oem clutch unless your planning on crazy boost. How much are the stage 2/3 anyways? If they are not much more expensive I would get the best one as a clutch is not fun to keep having to install[:@] And nice choice on the motor! I have the d15b7 and tranny too, suks[:'(] I am looking to replace my engine, mabey I will just do the same as you instead of swapping a b series or h22a, cost too much $$ and my car is a 94

 

Nice upgrade. Be carefull about fake Exedy clutches on ebay too, I have heard therehave beensome on there lately.

 

^^ ya I have seen them on there a few times, there's alot of fake parts on ebay if your not carefull. I just try to use the Canadian parts dealer websites I got from fiirkan Then I can avoid custom and border charges as well

 

i must have changed my mind about 10000000 times between the D15b and B16, it came down to me figuring out that i can get sooo much more horsepower from the single boosted(always wanted a boosted car) for the same price as the B16 swap.....o and what really did it was the fact that i FINALLY found forged rods and pistons MEANT for the JDM d15b from fjdistributors

 

i got the engine and tranny in my garage now, the shop that i ordered it through put a new water pump, oil pan gasket, tensioner, timing belt, and valve cover gaskets for me....i am in the middle of painting my valve cover, so yeah im going to take some pics right now!!!!
im so happy i feel like a 6 year old!!!!

 

aight so here she is

I HAVE CROSSED OVER TO THE VTEC SIDE! muh hahahaha



the Tranny!!!!



heres the valve cover i painted
step one take off that crappy black texture coating with rock miracle
NEXT self-etch prime the bare metal

then put down the Duplicolor metal cast Ground coat


then the anodized color top coat***it doesnt look like it does in real life, it looks more anodized, its the same stuff i used on the valve cover in my sig...


i am getting an OEM Exedy Clutch and pressure plate, as well as a fidanza 8.5lb flywheel.
new mounts, new axels, and i think im going to run Royal purple or another synthetic oil
and i bought a HONDATA intake gasket

 

now thats a nice and clean engine , i like it A LOT! good choice. any more pics?

 

lol you must be like me then, I have changed my mind over what I want so many times now I think ive confused myself lol. And thats smart thinking with the cost vs. cost and what your going to get in the end for your hard earned $$. That engines is really clean looking, where did you order it from? Anyways looking forward to updates and pics on your progression with this, good luck
