I'd imagine that the D16Z6 would have slightly more torque and *maybe* hp because of the extra .1 displacement.

Then again the D15B would be a little more rev-friendly too.

I'd go with which ever one you get sooner and cheaper, unless you find a D15B swap with the LSD tranny.

So both engines accually have about the same hp and trq? i thought the z6 was only 110 hp and the d15b was 130?

i think the heads are the same for both. the jdm d15 has a more agressive cam.

Lots of good info on the D15B here:

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=585043

There is a dyno plot down in that thread showing the hp-tq difference between the 1.6 and 1.5 SOHC VTECs.
