can any 1 give me some insite on this thank you

Sorry if this thread has been made in the past there was alot of threads 2 even look thru

THanks

correct, its good motor, if u get the right one, with correct tranny, with LSD, win win situation, though since ur in melb, u cannot replace ur current gen D16y with D15b because simply its a older motor, but i heard there was a loop hole, not sure though

[Pola-Civic]

yeh i was thinking that he was trying 2 convince me so bad 2 buy 1 lol im like wat uve either got shit loads layin round lol import/jdm d15 would that of been d15b u rekn? sohc 1.5 vtec

[Pola-Civic]

that car looks familiar in ur avatar wats ur name?

[VT3C]

SOHC VTEC D15B is the same power (give or take a pony or two) as a D16Y1 and a Y8 SOHC VTECS !! should have a black Valve cover also..

[TheSaint]

i would love a JDM D15 vtec LSD ... that would be good fun =D

how much did he want for it?

also remember u cant put an engine in ur car thats older than the build date of the car

[Pola-Civic]

well i picked up a low k's d16y4 to replace 1 thats in the ek that was 595 and got all new parts for it aswell water pump etc.... think he wanted round the same price for the d15 but wasnt sure if it was vtec or not ill ask 2mmorow how much an wats actuall model if there d15b

[TheSaint]

holy crap thats cheap - over here in WA we would pay well over 1k$ for a D-series =/

if its a D15b Vtec with manual LSD than it would be a fun little engine =D

[cheapdouchebag]

its not that great saint. esp when its auto haha take it from me mate.
ive moved on from it

[TheSaint]

manual LSD d15 vtec has to be better than manual no LSD d15 lol

auto is fail also =/

[mugen_ctr]

yeap, lol, an having a lsd, is a better than no lsd, an plus, u can say to all em b16 owners, "atleast i have a lsd, muhahahahaha"

[dougie_504]

D15 with LSD would be kinda cool haha. I with my B16A came with the optional LSD :(

[cheapdouchebag]

auto lsd can suck balls.
b20a6 for me nows hahaha

but anyways back on topic
when i first got my license i was full on vtec this vtec that didnt care how fast it was or slow it was just floored it

[TheSaint]

[cheapdouchebag]

jdm eg8's came with d15b n 4 cupholders lolol n front seat light

[TheSaint]

mines a EG8 and i didnt get any of that

[tseesinngwailo]

There's a JDM D15b that has 3 stage Vtec, it's actually for economy (but also gives good power).

http://asia.vtec.net/article/d15b/

I really wanted one of these for my wifes EG, but seeing as we may sell the car, just cant be bothered to do all the changeover, would be a perfect city drive-around though.

Same reason I wouldnt mind the 2003-2004 Civic as the replacement but get a K20 halfcut from Japan, as those Civics came with that option over there, no idea why all of Au ones were 1.7, the damn Camry had a 2L

[TheSaint]

civics wer made to compete with the corolla ... not the camry

[tseesinngwailo]

So does that mean every new Civic, Jazz, and Accord should be turbo? as the oposition is now pretty much all trubo, and Honda is the only NA manufacturer, even Skoda is relasing the Octavia with boost, I just think its a shame that we can't afford a new car, and I like the 7th Gen Civic as for my wife it's not much bigger than an EG/EK, and would be much more liveable with the bigger engine option, all the long family trips we do, my wife insists on using her car, the DC2R stays at home..

And as the original poster wanted, a value for money replacement, if the D15B ticks the boxes, and is a good price, why not?

[TheSaint]

honda doesnt need the turbo =D
lol just jokes

the current model corolla has a pretty average dohc 1.8ltr in it (i own one), and the camry isnt as good as the accord euro - so i dont really know what your getting at
(the previous generation sportivo had a ZZR engine in it but it was wieghted down by a heavier interior)

if the 7th gen was released with a k20 in aus i think it would have been alot more expensive and would have held its value as well

mines a EG8 and i didnt get any of that

thats the difference between jdm and audm
everyone rckns mines an eh but i pop the bonnet and they see clearly the blue jdm eg8 tag n the vin number and shows eg8 in the vin lols

There's a difference between local EG8s and JDM models. There are AUDM model EG8, I used to have one

[TheSaint]

the gli sedan is an EG8

[markismaximus]

the gli sedan is an EG8

Yep that's the one

[cheapdouchebag]

yeaps. so we can conclude eg8 can be either non-vtec or vtec.
was just tryna point that out guys haha
jdm eg8 are almost fully optioned with 3-4 things missing to be fully optioned. audm got the poor end of the stick huh

[TheSaint]

agreed ... but its still better than carby + no options at all lol

[dc5dave]

No sorry I'm in Sydney

[cheapdouchebag]

but in all honesty, should of have got the d15b if it was same priced, wikipedia showed that d15b did reach the ek sedan generation so it may have been possible to put in.

last ''spam regarding the d15b eg8'' promise!

agreed ... but its still better than carby + no options at all lol

yeah.. i duno how im gunna cope with no cupholders in my prelude. haha that cars got NONE, but im loving the single-din pocket for my phone n pack of smokes.
my eg8 has 4. two in the front that pop out and two at the back, where the center passenger seat backsupport theres a pull out armrest with 2 cup holders. and their usualy full! ive got a bottle as well sitting in between the the driver seat n doors lol on the floor, fits snugly haha
