D15B to EK chassis swap

[revsk8erdude]

I have a 98 civic lx, with a stock factory D16Y7 motor/auto tranny.

The motor blows up.

I called place motor came from and ordered a warrantied motor.

The motor arrives and its not a D16Y7.

What arrived is a D15B. I double checked, thats all it says.

I know absolutely NOTHING about this motor other than its a SOHC, 1.5L, 4cy.

Where the hell do i go from here.

Should i just replace that motor anyways and hope everything will fit with no need for modification?

Should I start shopping for a ECU?

Someone educated and who knows what they are talking about please point me in the right direction.

Thank you.

PS:

Under the engine code stamped on the block, i saw this number (3209274).

Is there a way to cross reference this number to a website or something to find out exactly what car the motor came from and if its a VTEC or not?

because im trying to get this sold as soon as possible and can not wait on a new engine to get here. ive already waited 2-3 months for this one..

[terrytowe22]

g.l on this one. x2 send it back in wait it out.

[revsk8erdude]

anyone know anything about a d15b?

[slimm]

thats a JDM engine. pm'd

[IntegraXTR]

just drop it in. If its the jdm d15b, then it makes more power than your d16y7 anyways, about 130hp or so. Just reuse your injectors and dizzy and you should be fine.

And yes it's vtec, you can check by looking for the vtec solenoid near the dizzy.

send that bitch back an make them pay for it. if u just want a motor to get it in the car an sell the car. install the motor no different from what u got now. not all that hard.
