Motor desisions....
I need to get a new motor for my car, and I have kinda narrowed it down to a few....now I need help desiding
I can put a LS or B20 on a b16 trans
I found a B16a that I may be able to get
And then there is the D15b that is like a D16z6
I just don't know what I should do for my DD....

Re: Motor desisions.... (pythoner)
if your looking to get a sohc and try to beef it up a d15 or d16 would be good get the d15 and do a mini me swap.run vtec.it depends on all what you wanna do and what plans you have and wanna do if you wanna turbo or spray it.

Re: (bmoua)
Bout time we had another one of these, the one from 5 minutes ago is getting stale.
If you need help with YOUR motor, you need to consult YOU.
not our car, not our decision, this topic has been covered umpteen-thousand times.
Do a forum specific search in THIS forum for "what swap" and see what you get.
You'll find plenty of information that can help you narrow down good choice.

I need somthing better than a d15b8 and it will be my DD....I drive 6 miles to work so nothing like a turbo is needed or wanted...
I just want to know will the LS/b20 with the b16 trans be much faster than the D15b?

yeah a B20 with a b16 tranyn wuold be like a torque monster..but with the low rpms of the b20, and SHORT gearing of the b16 tranny...that would kinda suck ***** IMO. ANYTHING will be much stronger than the D15B8 which is like a 75hp motor. D15b, or GSR would be my choice tho.

Re: (Sr420Det)
B16 tranny is very short-geared. A B20 cruising at 70 on the freeway will be spinning at 4000rpm. Fine on a B16A (it's designed to do that), annoying on a B20 (it's not designed to do that).
