i have a eg 4dr and im looking into getting a d15b w/stage 3 vtec now im wondering is it worth it should i just get a d16z6 or go wit the d15b... im more interested in the d15b im not looking for max power otherwise i would get a b series or something wit 2 cams... wats the diff between a d15b and a d16z6 besides the like 5 horses...point is im looking for a single cam and need to know which one would be better money is not an issue i can afford both of them just wondering which one would be better... maybe later on i might considering building it.. so i guess that fall into place to right which one would be better to build

if you want max sohc powa!, the 3 stage vtec isnt it. thats for fuel economy. look at the other d15b...

i have D15B non vtec and i feel it pretty aggressive.
set up:
D15B non vtec
ebay intake.
ebay headers
2.25 exhaust w/ 07' SI axleback

Ive ran sigle cam. D15 JDM. To me its not worth anything. I had better chances going k.

i would look at the d15b vtec or sohc zc vtec...any d-series is gonna get good gas mileage.

JDM D15B (the one with normal VTEC) is worth getting. It's not too expensive, and has the most power out of any stock D-series. Try to get one with an LSD transmission for the most benefits.

It's in your head. The non-VTEC D15B is like a D15B7. Slow as f*ck.

P.S. you have one header.

all the d15b is is a d15b7 with a z6 head on it. a mini me.

rick_rabies

....wow.
dont even bother with it. go big or leave it stock.
jdm vtec d15 has a tad more hp then z6. but z6 has a tad more torque. both are small and slow.
it all depends on your wallet and how fast you want to go. i did alot to my 3 dif D series motors and never was satisfied.
but then again my 400hp gsr turbo motor doesnt satisfy me either. so it could just be me....i need a space shuttle

i was looking into a d15 swap too. would it be able to pass smog?

Deetz

As mentioned, good cheap engine, and good on gas.

Would i ever buy one? NO. No torque, i hate that about sohc engines

streetfame973

well like i said im looking for single now i had bseries motors before i know wat they do...im looking for something for my alone time i have a newborn so im not looking for 300 horses namean just looking for a nice single wit a lil power possibly some bolt ons later on ...not looking to spend much either thats why im asking which single to go wit....so i should go wit the (d15b vtec) the reguarler one not the stage 3?

funny you say no torque b/c i can think of 2 b-series engines that have NO torque....b16a,b16b

trustdestruction

It is completely different.

ej1love

if you want a reliable motor and are occassionally gonna get on it, get the regular d15b(vtec), or d16z6.

3 stage and nonvtec d15 arent fun...

thumper64

A GSR swap will get better gas mileage and be more fun. I have a D15B in my 4 door and it feels just a bit better than the D15B7 with a CAI and EX header.
If you're dead set on getting the D15B, at least get the 92-95 2 stage version, otherwise you'll have issues finding the ECU to make the 3 stage work correctly.

trustdestruction

Wrong

ej1love

lol

streetfame973

i went to buy the motor today i was going for the d15b vtec the 92-95 like ya said but they were sold out and i really needed a motor i need my car running so i ended up getting the stage 3.... now here is another question i know its a fuel ecomony enigne but if you start changing stuff would it still be the same?? another question i heard of useing the old integra pistions for more compression im just nore sure in wat single cam to use it in should i or can i do it with this motor is it worth it will the compression go up

trustdestruction

was just about to post the same thing.




NOW GOOD LUCK FINDING THE RIGHT ECU! It won't happen.

Totally a god damn waste of money, what you just did there.

streetfame973

guessing those were stupid questions?
