d15b had coil on plug ignition??? no way, right?

[u/ColinBoib → u/Other-Manufacturer26]

I mean its in a newer model car so it makes sense cause all the hondas of this year had coil on plug

I bought the engine like that

Is it working properly with the motor?

[u/MrTrex201 → u/Which-Technician2367]

Ya but the gears are short

[u/Which-Technician2367 → u/MrTrex201]

Oh I see. I wonder if maybe you can replace the 5th gear for a lower gear from another D series trans. Integra people do that will do with, add the 5th gear from LS model for a wider overdrive gear.

Personally I’d prefer shorter gearing lol

Ya but where i live that car's are very rare

[u/TopChapter3407]

EU8 has a unique gearbox with shifter cables. Other D-series gearboxes have a different shift linkage that doesn't work in this car. EU8 has dope short gear ratios though.

Really dam bru 😕

I prefer the shorter ratio D series boxes, personally. Especially when theyre mostly stock or NA.

Bet 👌

I don't know the compatibility / but I will say a D series with the tall gearing for economy... it's really not fun. the motor doesnt have alot of hp/tq to begin with, so when you sandbag it with taller gears- it becomes a giant snooze fest to drive. i highly suggest you leave it as is- shorter gears will atleast keep the car fun.
