Help me

Ok I gotta 89 civic with the dpi d15.I was riding one day and it started to make a clankity clank noise.It got worse,and eventually a pretty big clank.I can crank it and it will stay cranked,running like str8 up shit but when i try to go it will go 2 ft. and die.Its running rich,the oil lights on and when i put oil in it it goes right through in like 20 min.I'm not driving it because i assume it is blown.What the hell man.I know thats what d15s do but im balling on a budgit so....any suggestions?

[DrunkScotsman]

buy my engine! , lol , i am sure someone on here will have a bit of knowledge about it for ya!

[Halfwit]

sound like rod knock? how loud of a clank is it? loud?

listen to it as it idles (wit hhood up) and try to se where the majority of the noise is coming from.

[Josh8988]

Yeah drunk im still gonna buy your motor but i was just wanting to know if this was salvageable,halfwit yeah its pretty damn loud i think i threw a rod but would it still crank up and run?

[Halfwit]

ehh i believe i t can still run, but like u said ull get no where. itll basically idle getting compression fom other cylinders, and knocking is from bad one. and that would be why it idle so shitty.

[Josh8988]

so is it blown or can it be fixed.and if so about how much will it cost

[Halfwit]

PROBABLY CHEAPER TO JSUT GET A new motor, if u dont have funds for a swap, a d series motor isnt hard to find, is it carbeurated or f/i?

[Josh8988]

dpfi im buying drunks motor today if i can find someone with a truck to go get it

[Halfwit]

good deal. thatll get it running to where i guess u can get to anf from a job to make money?

[Josh8988]

thats my whole intention

[Halfwit]

what are your plans in the long run? ls all motor? boost? jsut running? 12s? sleeper?

[Josh8988]

im either gonna go d16 vtec or ls b18 turbo

[Halfwit]

what kind of power do u want? that pretty broad, d16 vtec = slow ls turbo = fast..

[Josh8988]

which one would you suggest?

[Halfwit]

depends on what you want in the end?

str8 drag?
autocross?
all around?
200 somehting hp?
400 hp?

[Josh8988]

[Halfwit]

autocross prep

roll cage
bushings
chassis stiffennig
omni power coilovers

[Josh8988]

hell yeah i like to see someone doing it RIGHT.My civic will be there one day.I went with the sedan b/c not to many people do it and i like to be different

[Halfwit]

there are some clean ones, good paint +_lip, and 15 in rims it will look hot with the right stance.

[Josh8988]

my cousins got some six spoke all black rims with a polished lip 15s hes letting me get for 150.i think they will look good on my white paint with black trim

[Halfwit]

yes, then repaint car black.

[DrunkScotsman]

:stupid:

[Josh8988]

Yeah i was gonna do a jet black.What do yall think

[DrunkScotsman]

if you black it all out , i'll do your tails for ya! and wheels!

[Josh8988]

Shit ok thats a bet.Im gonna head up your way whrn i get this motor in anyway just to show you how it went and what you think of my ride.Your hb looks better in prerson than the pics.You did a good job on the wheels though man i like them.You got the right idea going on to keep it up

[DrunkScotsman]

thanx bro , i just got my si middle console put in , and picked up some prelude si front seats , i'm puttin those in and my coilovers on tomorrow , should be a fun day!

[Josh8988]

Hell yeah I got my old motor out today should have the new one in tomorrow.I put everything the new one was missing on to.Where the studs are missing on the first port of the exhaust manifold,is it still ok to drive?

[DrunkScotsman]

:thinking: i myself am not sure , i know it will be loud! but engine performance wise i dunno

[Josh8988]

I dont give a damn about it being loud b/c im running off straight headers anyway.So it wont make much of a difference.But i can always put my head on there mines still good its the bottom that was all fucked up.
