What is the bhp of a JDM d15b?


How much does one weigh(5spd and manifolds attached)?


is it reasonable to think that 2 guys can lift it out of the car w/o a crane?


How long should it take someone(me) who has never done a engine swap to do this?

[aal]

I should add that the JDM D15B I am putting in is not VTEC

So I actually want to know if there is a diference between
USDM and JDM D15B(2?)'s

thanks

yes the JDM is vtec and the usdm ones are worthless. get yourself either the vtec model, or step it upto at least the 1.6l. in any case, i believe the HP is about 125-130 or so, should weigh in around250-300lbs w/o tranny. yes 2 people can lift it, but to lift it out of the car would be awkard and you'd prolly get a hernia if you did.

thankyou for replying

I purchased a JDM D15B2 from an importer that has D15B2 and D15B-VTEC
So it is not a VTEC(those were $60 over what I had to spend and I need this car to drive to work so I could not wait and save)
It is a JDM

I read somewhere that in general JDM's have .9 higher comp ratio than USDM's

so I hope to suprise a buddy with a 91si that is 100% USDM stock

just suprise....not smoke

well be careful JDM engines dont use numbers after there letter designation. so a D15B2 is a usdm motor, a 92hp beast to be exact, about 70 to the wheels. whereas a D15B is the JDM model. this is true across all families of motor, D, B, H, F, C, A etc etc etc.

i love my JDM ZC hehe

and yea, how much did u pay for the so called JDM D15B2????

[Ones&zeros]

??? what is bhp i know what whp is but not the other. and i would say take your time and assume a couple of days to do it right the first time.

[1PhatCX]

bhp is brake horse power...... dont argue cuz civic jim will come in here and be all pissy about it

[aal]

it is advertised as a JDM D15B...no numbers on the end
I know it isn't a VTEC cuz he sells those as D15B-VTEC
I meant base horsepower by saying bhp(guess I read too much motor trend..lol)

to re phrase the question
USDM D15B2 = 92hp
JDM D15B(not VTEC) = ??

I am getting this CRX running as a daily driver so I can get to work...then I can save up for mods ;^)

[aal]

oh...and I paid $395+shipping

[1PhatCX]

i have a feeling that u got screwed man, i've never heard of a non vtec d15b, maybe they had a d15b block sitting there and put a dx or si head on it?

[aal]

I hope not

He seemed a reputable dealer

see what you guys think......

[amy@af]

i dunno about 2 guys lifting it out. it has to come up quite far before it clears the car. you'd probably be better off dropping it out the bottom and having 4 dudes lift the car

do you have a local equipment place you can rent from? these days you can buy a brand new hoist for $150 or less

in motor trend bhp stands for brake horse power, not base.
