question about dseries
Im about ready to swap out my engine and ive decided to go d series and then go FI down the road...anyway i have a pretty simple question, are there any other differences between a d15b and a d16z6 other than the extra .1 litre....will i see any differences? is it worth the extra $100 bucks i would be spending to buy it? thanks in advance

I think the d15b had a bit more agressive cam in it, otherwise the two motors are very similar, well they are anyway. The d15b also had optional LSD with the tranny.

Re: (EG93si)
Get the D16z6 more trq and lower compression...plus...parts are easy to find. $100 is not great of a difference loose ease and convience IMO. Good luck bro

Re: question about dseries (93ejay1)
i asked a friend of mine today and he suggested the d16 because from his personal experiences he liked it better...most likely i will go with th d16 unless i can get more information about each of them...ive searched the web for info but each site says different things so its hard to determine which sites are correct...

i would personally go with the d16... i have never had a problem with it yet... and i beat on it 7.5k shifts alot during the day and mad vtec.... and the only thing wrong with it is that it burns a bit of oil.. like a quart every 800-1200... im gonna be replacing that motor soon tho... but thats about 8 months of abuse to be only burning that much...
i also was running a jdm p30 for 2 months taking it to 8.5 all the time too
