New engine! Check it out!

[4gExpress]

Hey guys... Just received my new motor from hmotors online. I have to hand it to hmotors... they really know how to ship a motor...
http://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Engine_001.jpg

I was very impressed with the wrapping job they did... it was actually a pain in the arse to take off... quality packaging... Shipping was quick too.. I think it took 5 or 6 days going from So. Cal to Delaware.

Freaking nice valve cover!! I wasn't expecting the motor to look this nice. I was thoroughly shocked and excited. The motor is so clean... it has approximately 35k on it..
http://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Engine_014.jpg

Here is the all important code on the block... My first time ever seeing these two letters... I was happy to see them.

Intermediate shaft!!! WooHoo!

http://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Engine_015.jpg

Here are a couple pix of the transmission... Can you guys tell me anything about this transmission? I have no idea what these particular numbers mean... I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there is no LSD in this tranny.. I know some people get lucky with LSD's.. You guys tell me...

Wow. That thing is clean!!! :TU::TU:

[4gExpress]

wow! thats a clean ass ZC :TU:

how much did the swap cost you total?

Well, the motor/tranny combo was $550. Shipping was another $200.

I didn't get the axles with the motor since I didn't have the extra cash..

With new axles and odds and ends (new belts, fuel filter, oil, oil filter, motor mount inserts, spark plugs and wires) I'll probably be looking at about a grand, give or take.

[superdewey58]

wow a grand....serious

[CIVICRicerBoy]

That's cheap.

[civic510z]

that a clean ass motor.

[black94sol]

nice...i think i need to buy a d15b

but definately a clean motor

btw...that is a non-lsd tranny

lsd ones you can see through the hole, right??

Awesome.. that's what I was hoping to see...

[OniFactor]

[4gExpress]

200 residential... they said they'd drop 40 bucks for a business address.. unfortunately my hookups don't stretch into the business world...

[vtecencrx]

damn, thats a good deal!!!!!!!!!!! clean as hell...:TU::TU:

[gloryhog]

Yea he was extremely helpful and answered all the questions I had. I had no clue the motor would be this clean. I thought it would be on a pallet, unwrapped, open to the elements.

I will be buying all future motors from hmotorsonline.com! :TU:

[DirtyDC4]

SOHC ZC has the larger diff, so you'll need to swap diff gears to run unequal length axles, or find equal length ones.

My SOHC ZC was also that clean when I got it from HMO. They fucking rock. :TU:

[flatfourfan]

shit.....that is clean....................nice score..........that valve cover looks brand new.

[sxy_rexi]

wow very nice. ya my ex bf bought a motor from them as well and was very happy with hmotors. guy is very good with customer service.

[civic97]

sexy and clean ass motor:TU:

[big_g_jando]

good lookin motor ot to post picx when you get it in

[Lule]

I don't think I'd feel too good about an engine that was shipped sitting on it's oil pan. Better check your pickup clearance.

hmotors told me the tranny uses axles from a 90-93 integra.. So, i'll see what happens when I try installing them.

[myHonda1]

me thinks i need a motor now...

nice as hell!

[OniFactor]

me thinks i need a motor now...

nice as hell!

get one for me, while you're at it. lol

[CrazyConscious]

Damn, that is a clean ass motor. :TU: to you and good luck on the swap!

[rcoolb2002]

The car already has DA spindles swapped onto it. DA axles will work fine.

[4gExpress]

Hey guys... i'd like to take this oppurtunity to show you some pics of other stuff that will be installed with the motor...

FLP Shifter.. With the Skunk2 shift knob... perfect match! SWEEEET!!
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/xxshowstoppaxx/IMG_2225.jpg

50 damn dollars but this thing is quality. It's heavy as hell too... 400 grams! I had no idea what 400 grams felt like til I got the box in the mail...
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/xxshowstoppaxx/IMG_2229.jpg

Here are some pictures of my motor mount inserts..

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/xxshowstoppaxx/IMG_2220.jpg

Do these look weird to you guys? I mean they are two completely different shapes... are these the correct tranny inserts? Or did they ship it wrong? At first glance (not knowing what the tranny mount looks like) i'd think they were shipped wrong..

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/xxshowstoppaxx/IMG_2222.jpg

This new motor, shifter, and inserts should be a night and day difference..

I'm currently running a D15B2 non vtec on a PM6 ecu... runs like shit! This should be a niiice upgrade!

[dustin_crxsi]

Hmotorsonline.com is a great place. My d15b came as clean as that.

[4gExpress]

I got the shifter from www.fastlineperformance.com (http://www.fastlineperformance.com/)

They have retailers they will redirect you to.. or you can order directly from them under certain circumstances...

I can't wait to try it out!

[4gExpress]

I just got approved for leave... i'm taking 12 or so days just to swap the motor... I will start the swap in the next few days...

This is my first swap so it's going to take some time.. But I have help.. the guy that put my d15b2 in is going to let me do everything and give me some help every now and then.. Should be fun!

I have my Haynes manual... and this forum so I think I should do just fine.

[MyblkVTEC]

nice lookin motor!!! good luck!

[Black91CRXsi]

Really nice motor!!!

You can never have too many manuals (http://www.hondahookup.com/manuals/). You will have to setup an account, but it takes 2 minutes and is free. I got a 1,200 page manual for my 95 from there. Might not be exactly what you need, but thought I'd throw it out there for you to decide.

Good luck with the swap!!

[4gExpress]

^^ Thanks a lot man! That is great! Repz!

[gloryhog]

pics...:p

[berettagtz117]

Wow that thing is clean, definately have to hand it to Hmotors!!

[4gExpress]

Alright everyone.. I was going to save pics for when the swap was done but i'll post some now..

Here is the before picture... Pretty gross huh?
https://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Swap/Swap002.jpg

Jackin it up! Putting some blocks underneath..

https://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Swap/Swap011.jpg

Out with the old...
https://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Swap/Swap016.jpg

https://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Swap/Swap017.jpg

In with the new!

https://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Swap/Swap0270.jpg

I kinda got caught up in the swap and didn't take more actual work pics..

We had to bust out the grinder a couple of times.. I guess there's a counterbalance on the bottom of the shift linkeage.. it was hitting my exhaust so we put the grinder to it. The car still isn't running.. but we'll check the main relay. Spindles is a different story... have to go get some DA spindles in a day or so... until then the car is on hold.


I will be putting up some finished pics and also a driving vid when I get the car running.

[4gExpress]

Ok now that the work pics are done... here are the stupid pics..
Honestly we took more screwing around pics than work pics..

The crew...

The lead tech.. He knew how to do everything we didnt... which was just about everything.

https://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Swap/Swap013.jpg

The monkey... pretty much ran around doing crazy crap all day. He was vital to moral and also assisted our leader immensely... Oh and the shocker paid us a little random visit... (SEE RED CIRCLE)

https://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Swap/Swap006.jpg

And finally, me.. yea I spread my noobness around like aids.. doing stupid things and asking stupid questions... They couldn't have done it without me!

https://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Swap/Swap009.jpg

Motor humping... gotta give the old one some lovin too!

https://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Swap/Swap010.jpg

lol.. I guess he's hiding..
https://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Swap/Swap020.jpg

As you can see in this picture... we didn't drain the transmission fluid from the old motor.. Once we took the old axles out... SURPRISE!! The majority of the swap sucked because we had no foot traction.. it was worse than one might think...
https://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Swap/Swap021.jpg

We had to use the old wiring harness.. the new one, which looked sooo nice, was missing a plug that was on the old one... anyway.. here are some JDM dreadlocks..
https://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Swap/Swap024.jpg

And JDM junk...

https://home.comcast.net/~terrenceweston/Swap/Swap025.jpg

That is the extent of the pics right now.. more will come as we progress a little more.. thanks for lookin..

[vtecencrx]

[4gExpress]

*Bump* For new pics!

[SpoolinSol]

Yea but we were lazy lol..

[hondajosh]

HMOTORS is great Ive bought 2 D15bs, 1 DOHC ZC, 1 LSD trans, 1 b20b, 1 ZC ecu, and a ton of interior parts from him, prices are fairly reasonable and customer service is awesome. I bought a D15b that had a bad valve and he paid the shop over the phone with a credit card to fix it instead of having it shipped back.

[bootlegcivic]

would the zc be a plug and play fo a 91 dx sedan ??????? if not how hard woud it be

[4gExpress]

would the zc be a plug and play fo a 91 dx sedan ??????? if not how hard woud it be

No, not exaclty... You would need to run an PM6 ecu... If I remember you are running a PM5? If so you will have to rewire.. that PM5 is a DPFI ecu? The PM6 is MPFI.. someone tell me if i'm completely wrong.

You WILL need new spindles... unless you use your current transmission.. If you buy the ZC tranny, you will need axles from a 90-93 integra which means you will need new spindles to fit those axles. Si civics and crx's came with different spindles... so the spline count is more than the dx spindles... Those Integra axles will not match up to your DX spindles. Cool thing is, if you get Integra spindles you will get bigger brakes...

You can always use your current transmission which would be the most cost efficient option. Then the only thing you'd have to deal with then is the ECU and wiring issue...
