Ah... is the block lean burn ready? unsure - I know I'm going to need an EGR intake manifold and an appropriate ECU, but I was under the impression that the block & pistons didn't need anything special for lean-burn. Is this incorrect?

Manual, naturally - this is ecomodder.com after all

The code is "P2J-1", year code 96 (had a fun time finding it, the engine this came off was evidently throwing oil like it was going out of fashion), intake side has a "1" in a square, there's also a "4" and "15" stamped near the coolant outlet.

I've put pics up in this thread:

Edit: what ecu do you plan on running?

Any help would be much appreciated! Best place for it would be on the thread linked above. I have just received a P2J-003 ECU, and I have an OBD2A D16Y8 wiring harness on the way, which I was advised would be the simplest to modify. Still looking for a D16Y5 intake manifold to enable EGR - I understand lean-burn with no EGR would be a Bad Thing...

I've heard OBD2 ECUs can't be 'tuned', but I'm planning to run stock-as-a-rock (well, apart from being a complete frankenstien of course, what with the D16 block and all ), so I'm hoping I can keep all the parameters where the ECU wants them by careful selection of injectors and/or fuel pressure.

As far as the "lean burn" block, I believe it's all about the depth of the piston's "dishes".

I have a d15z1 intake and EGR valve and a new gasket for it as well. that came off the motor from another project I'm working on : ) $25 Is all I need for both, don't know what shipping might cost?!?!

Let me take a few pictures, I'll post them up here, and you can make me an offer if interested!
Shipping to the OZ might be the hardest part. (I don't really need or want the mani or EGR valve)

as far as the lean burn without EGR, I do it, but my ECU is JDM 37820-p2j-j62, and as far as I can tell, it doesn't need it. the ecu does, however check for BOTH vtec solenoids on start up, and will throw a CEL without them both working.

now I guess I've got to check out your other thread...


Thanks,
Victor
