215K...my engine gonna go bang soon!
Today I blew a head gasket on my D15b2 with 215K on it. It is smoking like a motha f*cker now. So its time for a new engine. I don't know why but I'm staying automatic. I'm just wondering what engine I should get with an auto ECU and tranny. My friend Tripp has an LS Motor with auto tranny, and ECU that he'll sell to me for $500. Is that what I should get? I can get the axles and new mounts for a couple hundred. IS that the way to go?

that seems like a good deal to me. you'll just need to figure out which axles you'll need and a mount kit.

make sure it is a pre 94 LS so it has a cable tranny...

Otherwise, it might be easier to find an Auto ZC or something....then all you'd need is an ECU.

Holla for the mighty d15b2! Mine has 219k and still rollin'

The Ls motor is out of a 91 Integra that got rear ended. The D15b2 is a tough little engine I'll give it that. A guy named Tou tried to blow his on purpose when he got his B16 using a 55 shot of ZEX and it wouldn't give. It surprised the hell out of us! That one had 196K on it but was serviced all the time.

If the engine still runs, drain the coolant & oil. Then start her up & run it WOT(wide open throttle) see how long til she blows.
