as many of you know i love the jdm d15b motor
i have decided to rebuild it with z6 pistons and rods this will yield a 10.59 to 1 cr wich isnt super high but a good start and with some head work and bolt ons it will be a fun little ripper motor
soo today/ yesterday i dropped my motor out the bottom just as teal_dx did in his DIY
super easy i did it all by myself and it took roughly 4 hours at a moderate pace with no air tools
heres some pics :woot:
all ready to start working in my tight workshop/barn

what i did was jack the car up and unbolt everything except the passenger side and driver side mount then lower it down untill the engine was resting on the little cart i made and unbolt the mounts and then jack the car back up and roll the motor out and bam done

i change my mind alot about my motor build
but this is my latest thought since you cant use any pistons in the d15b as D-Mon pointed out
i will be using an older z6 block with z6 rods or the d15b rods wichever look better along with some p29 pistons and new rings bearings and complete rebuilt head with mild port and polish and the d15b head i will have a compression ratio of 12.05 to 1 wich is just about perfect
im hoping to get anywhere around 150whp im expecting 130 whp but if more than ill be stoked along with possibly a 50 shot of nos this will be a fun eg8 along with some lioghtweight parts and a fully gutted interior it should be pretty quick for an na 1.6
if i change my mind again someone please bitch at me :thumb: :thumb:
