d16z6 or d15b?
Okay, as of right now, I have two options right in front of me. My buddy dropped in a b16 into his civic so he left me his d16z6 to play with. I also have a jdm d15b vtec sitting here at the same time. Which one would you swap in a VX? I'm planning on doing a simple turbo setup for a little go in my all show car.

Don't the Vitara pistons fit in a d15b also? Same bore, different stroke?

The D15B has the same rods as the D16Z6. They also have the exact same cam - seen several examples acutally spec'd out and, while some have different lobe widths (both on Z6 and D15B), the duration/lift is the same.
The D15B does have a better r/s ratio though, and would buy you some rev-ability and possibly longevity. But, it loose torque compared to the Z6.
If you are just going for show, who really cares? Maybe the D15B would buy you some "JDM" points, but as far as everything but displacement goes they are really very similar engines.
My $.02
