Default is mini me worth it??

i have a d15b stock layin around w/200ish mile on it. it run well before it was pulled out. i was just wondering, since there so many miles on this engine, would it be worth it to do a miniswap?? or would it be a disaster since the engine is old??

just swap it, mini me is just like the d16 vtec motor, but keep in mind yours is a 1.5 so it won't make as much power, just get a full swap (d16z6 or d16y8 or jdm d15b if u want to stay in sohc)

The d16 block is the better choice becuz ull see the 125-127whp. With only the d16z6,y8, or y7 head idk you will see. Plus it may almost cost the same.
D series blocks n heads r cheap.
