So me and 2 buddies finally got around to putting this lil vtec machine in my DD. The day started kind of good "weather was a lil rainy but alright for the most part. We went to the automotive hobby shop and i rented out a lift and we the fun was underway........................

heres what she had before


A d15 non-vtec eco-box................ bye-bye


after dropping the d15 out we went into preparing the new COMPETITION CLUTCH STAGE 4 CLUTCH KIT, as well as removing the engine harnesses and.................well prepping for the most part, all in all it took us about 2.5 hrs to drop the motor, and we was kind of slacking and



heres aaron preparing for the transmission transfer


All while roy is removing the old d15b harness to transfer to the d16



while im prepping the engine bay



nice and clean


one of the last few steps before putting her back in, was installing the Competition Clutch stage 4 kit


But as luck would have it we got everything done except switching the injectors, wiring up the hondata, and wiring the obd0-obd1 stuff before we ran out of time

Hobby shop closes at 4 so what are we to do .................................................














































what else we finish that badboy, in the rain "light shower", in the grass out front of the hobby shop





and the end result



tommorrow ill clean up the bay and put a temporary intake on herwould have done more but it was raining and we was HUNGRAY

it took us a total of about 7 hrs to do everything and it was pretty damn fun, this week we will be...........

1. relocating the battery

2. installing turbo kit

3. welding custom turbo back exhaust


Anyway thought id post on how my lil DD is coming along, the goal for the car is just to see 220-230Hp out of it nothing crazy just a fun lil pocket rocket. As for how i feel about the new motor its definitly a step up from the d15 and im loving it ill post up again once the turbo kit makes it way on this week. and heres a quick peek at it "i know ive posted it before" but here is a pic of us test fitting the turbo kit on the block and painting it for those who haven't seen it.



Big thanks to:
Competition Clutch for getting me clutch kit i needed in a great amount of time There clutchs are of the highest quality iive seen, this is the second clutch kit ive ordered from them and i recommend anyone to give them a call for your clutch needs.

Also to Mike from Batlground on some over the phone advice he gave me bout a week ago.
