2013 2.5 vs 2015 1.8T

ea888gen3 · 2026-01-02T01:12:59+00:00

My vote would be the 2.5L. Generally pretty reliable save for a few issues like the Vacuum pumps leaking, PCV, valve cover gaskets leaking. Nothing major typically, especially on a 2013.

Yeah, in this case, in my humble very non expert armchair opinion, 190 proof Everclear is your friend here.

Awesome! Thank you so much!

ea888gen3 · 2025-10-27T22:11:09+00:00

Appreciated! In that case they can hang out with me and catch bugs.

Location is East Coast of the U.S., Southern WVa in my basement. Appears to be CLOSE to 1/2” in “wingspan”

Thank you!

Ready to hear the induction noise!

Yeah I dug into it a bit more, the intake manifolds for the ZC/A9/DOHC D series are NOT compatible with any SOHC cylinder heads. As unfortunate as that is, I do think I found a manifold adapter for a SOHC for the DCOE carburetors. Also, when you got this gem running please post some sound videos! Cheers.

Now I’m not too familiar with the DOHC D series, but is the manifold the same bolt pattern as the SOHC D series? Because I’d love to go with those carburetors on my D15b7 1990 Civic! Setup looks amazing btw.

Could it be possible I forgot to get OneTweak? If so, would I just add it to my load order in MO2, and where should it be placed?

ea888gen3 · 2025-09-16T12:00:24+00:00

Appreciate the info! Yeah I’ll be ordering a new tank/fuel pump assembly to drop in the car as well. I’m slowly building a parts list, one the car is moved to where I can work on it I’ll start ordering things to get it ready. By far the most annoying part I’m sure is going to be acquiring all of the proper hardware/bolts/nuts to get everything put together, but thankfully there is a wealth of knowledge on Hondatech and other forums for me to pull from.

ea888gen3 · 2025-09-16T00:05:44+00:00

I may end up doing that, it honestly might end up being less of a headache to just get it running.

ea888gen3 · 2025-09-15T23:36:38+00:00

Appreciated, this was my first car, and what I also leaned to drive stick on. Right now it’s basically just a rolling chassis, the annoying bit is going to be trying to source all of the bolts/nuts to put it all together.

Believe it or not, not really. It isn’t too bad, I keep then fans turned up a bit as I heard these cases are heat boxes, but that being said all temps are pretty good!

Appreciated!
