- Fri May 15, 2009 11:33 pm #117193 So i've got my original D15B7 in my 94 civic lx w/ 108k. I bought it last year with 101k and the guy did not know when the last time the timing belt was changed. Now that i've got some money to spend i figure i'd give my civic a tune up. What exactly should i get done to my civic to keep it around for another few years and keep it my dd.

Oh and nothing is wrong with it now, drives perfectly everyday. I just figure its time to at least change the timing belt.

Mods to car: catback exhaust, and short ram intake.

Want to: get headers with test pipe or new cat, and new valve cover.

Thanks for any help.

Timing belt tensioner
water pump
oil pump
spark plugs
spark plug cables
dist. cap
dist. rotor
dist. o ring

If our leaking oil anywhere and dont know where its from then get:

valve cover gasktet
Oil pan gasket
Rear main seal
cam seal
Crank seal

With all that you will have pretty much a brand new motor, minus a rebuild.

.....dont throw a test pipe on that thing. it will be waaay loud and probly make it slower! d15b7 (103hp) isn't exactly a high performer in need of a super flow test pipe. get a nice exhaust and you'll be much happier.

- Sat May 16, 2009 6:15 pm #117281 Thanks for all the help, and in response to the post above I do have a pretty decent exhaust on it right now with the short ram intake. Dyno'd at 100whp and 98 tq. Pretty quick for a stock d15b7 i'd like to think. But I do think I am going to get a new set of headers, and saw a pretty nice, bear with me, obx high flow cat for $150 that looks alright. I might give that a try. And does anybody know if the valve covers for the d15 and d16 are universal? obx has a new blue valve cover they list for the d16 but says nothing about d15.

- Sun May 17, 2009 7:33 pm #117436 the valve covers from a D16 will not work with a D15 unless its a Vtec D15. The spark plug cables are on different sides of the valve cover.
