WTB: cheap D motor

[ToyotaTwo]

For some reason my motor decided not to have compression and so I just want to replace it. My budget is pretty much like $100-$200... just need something for my 1992 Civic to run again...D15B7s, Z6s, but no D15b2 motors plz. OBD1 if possible. Kinda feel it's a long shot but money is tight and going to school at the same time = broke.

no compression = piston rings shot ... spend like 100 or less an fix it yourself ! motor swap = More time n money . put the 100-200 in your motor you currently have and go for another 100,xxx miles .....

We were doing an auto/manual swap along with a mini-me. the tranny swap was fine but something F-ed up in the engine. I spent like $300 for all of it already too so I really don't care right now; I just need something to drive for now. I probably will check it out though

i was gonna try and sell you mine but mine needs rings too. I'm selling it for $150. It's a d15b7. It runs, just burns a lil oil.

mini me sux on a 1.5 L block ... if ya do it .. grab a d16a6 block an mate a z6 head to it .. you'll be amazed .... go to your local pull-a-part .... they should have alot of motors for your price range .... ive pulled a shit load of GREAT d series motors that ran perfect for 100 bux if you insist on a swap .... g/l

[ToyotaTwo]

yea, I'll see what the junkyards got within a couple days. Just wanted to see if any members wanted my money first. :P thanks 1Sol for all the info.

I am in desperate need to buy a complete running D-series motor ASAP. Please if anyone has one, lmk.

[1SOL2NV]

how about i bring ya a new block and finish your mini me for you for 350 ... its a zc block ... do u have a head ? if not i can supply the head without intake .. but with will be a lil more ... lmk trying to help .

[foxyred]

i got engine, tranny, ecu, and mounts for 375-400! d15b7

holy crap, I put $400 in my mini-me motor that doesn't work. ended up it does have compression but I need something running now.

Still only have but $100-$200 to buy a running block. I would offer someone to come up and help me fix this motor and shell out the money with food, gas, extra $$,etc but I live in Chatt.
(Just angry I could have just saved up for an LS swap or something) :/

[1SOL2NV]

LMFAO ..... well you could have saved an paid me to do it right the first time .. lol .. g/l dude .

Well ever since I originally posted up this thread, I haven't put more money in the car but I'm tired of looking at it and not being able to use it (along with other crap on my mind - school,work,etc). I'm just clueless why it won't run but thanks anyway

[1SOL2NV]

head is probably warped or your piston rings are shot ...or you headgasket is leakin .. only reason not to have Compression buddy ... and i spent 700 in my mini me .. it is a worthless POS ... buy a z6 call it a day ...

[ToyotaTwo]

Dannng, I don't feel as bad anymore.. jk. that sucks man, that's why I'm debating on just buying another car thing fix this POS...

Well it did have compression, headgasket is new and double checked if it was leaking (which wasn't) and the head was machined by a very good local shop.

[1SOL2NV]

then your rings were shot ... get a new block ... not a whole engine .. get a 1.6 L d series block ... you be straight ... d16a6,z6,zc (sohc) any of them will work perfectly :goodjob:

I've got a D15 from a 93 Civic, was low on compression on one cylinder (30 psi), ran OK, smoked a little $100 770 967 9557
