Well like I was saying in the chat forum, I'm thinking about dropping in a d15b that comes with an s20 (LSD?) tranny. The setup was used in a 5th gen hatch. Anyone know if I would need different axles for my 89dx? And if so, what kind?

ur gonna need to convert to hydro tranny and prolly use 5th gen inner cv's and mate them to your outers...or use Si cv's and use Si hubs

or just use an si cable tranny...?

Cynikal.Mindset

the s20 is obviously hydro if its outta the 5th gen...so ur gonna take it apart and put it into a 4th gen Si tranny? why not just get the zc LSD tranny?

no i meant not use the s20 at all and use an si cable instead...like get a d16y8 with a cable si tranny...all d-series tranny's work with d-series motors...no? zc tranny would need axles too as far as i know and thats something i wanna stay away from. i dont really care about the lsd.

tranny mounting positions between 5thgen and 4thgen are different, look at the rear mount.

the s20 tranny is the 5th gen Si tranny no? thats what was stamped on my old tranny...

your best bet is to just use a cable Si tranny though

now i just gotta figure out if this motor is the normal vtec one or the crappy 3 stage vtec one

d15b is normal vtec <---jap spec of d16z6
the motor from the civic vx is (fuel economy) <--dunno about the engine stamp, never had intrest in these motors, but the exhaust manifold is same as 88-91 std models, the "honda-log" style turbo manifold..


there is also a rare *** d16a1 <--- sohc vtec....my buddy had one.
and the zc vtec ....sohc..
