D15b Dual Vtec

wus up everyone, i'm looking for the best sohc vtec setup, i was going to with a d15 vtec or d16 vtec, but now i see a d15b dual vtec with three step engage. What do best stepup or whant do i go with, and i plan on doing turbo. thanks

SOHC is crap. You can not (in anything I have seen or heard of) get any worthwhile power out of it. You might as well get a decent b series and you will be way ahead of the d.

Unless of course you have more money than you know what to do with and just want to waste some of it on a car that will be a middle of the pack runner (at best) no matter what you do to it.

dual vtec??? bwaahahahahaha what the fuuuuck? Go buy 3 bottles of nos instead y0.

Doubletap you are about as stupid as a rock. Please refrain from giving anyone advice here anymore. Thanks.

Ghostice, what kind of car do you have? what are some of your goal's? what is your budget? your answer to all these question's will better help some of us more open minded people to help you out.

thanks for responding civicHBsi91 , i have a 91 civic 4dr lx. my budget was 1500, and my plans was doing turbo,exhaust and maybe nos, still pending, but the budget for the motor i wanted to be 1500 and the b16 swap is about 2800 installed which i wasn't ready to spend that much. but i wanted to least start off with a vtec motor and work my way up.

So your gonna have a shop swap in the d15B vtec?

Your gonna have to convert to mpfi no matter what.

Are you gonna swap in the d15 or are you having a shop do it? Have you been quoted a price by them if you are having them do it?

yeah, i know all about coverting dpfi to mpfi, running the wires for the other two injectors i did some research on that, seems like a lot to do. so i just want to let them do it, they gave me a quote of 800 to do the swap. but do u know which is better the d15vtec on the d15bvtec, because they have one that has two vtec solonoids, with a three stage engage? Is it better?

So the shop gave you a quote of 800 to get the motor and then put it in? Doesen't sound like too bad of a deal.

the one with the two vtec solenoid's is a jdm motor. It produce's about the same amount of power as a d16z6 or a d16y8 but the z6 and y8 might put down alittle more torque im not sure on it. It dosen't matter which motor you get they are usually close performance wise y8's would probably have less mile's on them than z6's and im not even sure about the d15b vtec. Either way you will be happy with your swap for a while.

thanks you been a great help, b/c i was lost on that one

does anyone know where to get a d15b dual vtec ecu ? I need one bad!

ebay has for 150 and 200 chipped

do u know what model that is the ecu number for the obd2 ecu

No i'm not sure but i think you can use one of the of these, P2M and P2P, those are there ecu's for obd2.

And what kind car are you using it for? b/c they also have obd conversion harnesses.

hey ghostice, just buy a b16a1, or even a zc but that duznt have v-tec.

does anyone know where to get a d15b dual vtec ecu ? I need one bad!
I've never seen or heard of a dual vtec motor other than the d15b and that is obd1. (passwordjdm.com carries that ecu) Is your engine obd2 or are you just wanting to set it up as obd2 because of the year of your car?

hey ghostice, just buy a b16a1, or even a zc but that duznt have v-tec.
There is a SOHC ZC with vtec.

heres what i know, i baught a 1996, obd 2 , jdm d15b engine, i installed it my self leaving the vtec wires disconcected casusie i dont have the obd 2 ecu, the ecu number is p2j but know one has it that i can find. Im really desprate, spenign all this money on a swap , and not having the benfits, :( help

You could always buy the obd1 ecu and get a obd2-obd1 conversion harness, but of course that's going to cost you even more (around $200)

another question, i want to add pulleys and a cam gear to my car , its a jdm ek3 96-00 d15b dual vtec engine, so would i buy the 92-95 d15b sets or the 96-00 d16 sets?
