D15B2 with a 4-spd????????

As im reading some posts in here, im noticing that my engine should have a 5-spd on it, but i just found out this civic had a engine swap a while back, it was a std, and she had a d15b2 put in the car, but they kept the 4-spd trans,

is this ok???????? or is this going to give me problems??
This cars is way toooo slow, and something just doesn’t seem right

unless it's MPFI, i'm not suprised it feels slow being a 4speed DPFI.

you have me a little confused. you say she had a d15b2 put in like it was an upgrade. that is the engine that should be in a STD. it sounds like the stock engine was just replaced with another stock.

i'm also not suprised it has a 4 speed. it's really the dx that "should have the 5 speed" as you put it. the STD i sold last summer was painfully slow compared to my si. however, i kinda had fun with the 4 speed. it held 1st and 2nd gear all day long, lol.

dx/ std = economy car. DPFI is more efficent for the commuter, the 4 speed designed for traffic. the DX isn't much of a step up from the STD, compared to the Si being a step up from the DX.

Well I thought the STD came with a 72hp engine or something, and a 4spd.

i know this engine is the second one in the car, and just curious if maybe something wasn’t right.. I hardily use 3-rd gear. It does not seem to push the car at all. Seems like something’s just not right..

i thought the hf was ~72hp, and the std and dx were 92hp

d15b1 - 70ish hp, d15b2 90ish hp, both came with both I think, and they were both slow to a point that it would make both passengers cry though both eyes.

std came with d15b1 and 4 speed tranny, dx came with d15b2 and 5 speed tranny

Some dx's came with b1's.

Yeah I have the d15b1 with a 4 speed and if youre on a 25mph road its easier to skip 3rd gear.

well i got a d15b2 with a 4spd, and 3rd gear dosent seem to anything.

maybe ill just take this ZC out the integra, and put that in there, ohh wel, i guess its just time to sell this civic....

I can tell you that driving my std in traffic is painfull because I can have a van full of soccer kids flying by me from an intersection while I'm pushing the 4-spd to death. It's hard to get over but in the end, I know I'm the mpg god. :D

Now I'm a little confused when you guys said that you drive around in 1st and 2nd all day long. How fast are u exactly going in 2nd cause 4th gear is still way to high even on the interstate to drive with.

true 4th gear is high. i should have said "compared to my si" i was holding 1 & 2 all day long.
