Hey guys
Yes i have done a few search, But i just want to be positive. As i am aware all SOHC D15/D16 Gear is mostly interchangeable etc etc. However my main question will a d15b7 Box go onto a d16y1 engine no probs strait change over? Also does the D16y1 have some sort of factory Lsd that i would miss out on if i did the swap? any complications i might find?
Thanks in advance guys
Regards LYle
d16y1 gbox mite have better gear ratios ?
only the jdm d15 box has LSD ..
yeh i know some lucky bastard who has got one..... :P
sorry to bring this back .. just want to ask is D16y8 gear box fit into JDM D16A SOHC vtec engine.. and also will the D16y8 ecu fit as well ?

with regards to the gearbox, if they're both made for d16 motors, then i dont see why not?Quote:

Gearbox will fit. All d series gearbox's fit eachother. Just make sure you get the clutch that matches the gearbox. Because different gearbox's came with different splines.Quote:

Also, to help Lyle out... is this gearbox going onto an NA or turbo y1? If turbo, you'd want the gearbox with the longest gears to help you stay on boost for longer during that gear. The only real difference between the lsd d15b gearbox and the y1 is 2nd gear, the final drive and the lsd. And heard the lsd isn't as good as its cracked out to be.
cheers for all the info.. i learnt some thing again :d
