is it true rods are expensive for the 1.5?

i dont know why it's so hard to decide for a DD...

btw i will be ordering with a matching transmission. CX ftl..!!!!!

I'd go with the Z6, as one should be availably semi-locally. With all the hype surrounding the D15B, the Z6 might be cheaper.

im not sure how much the Z6's go for locally but i am planning on ordering from http://www.hmotorsonline.com anyways. the JDM D15 with transmission and ecu will be 800 before shipping.... and the Z6 swap from them?.... let me check

t0p_sh0tta

I can probably find a full D16Z6 swap for half of that (or atleast very close to it).

x2,dont pay a grand for a D series.H motors is good for everything else other than Ds

The Lobster

if you can get a z6 i would go for that...you should be able to get it cheaper then 800

another thing is z6 has way more readily available parts...

if you ever want to build your d15 for turbo well you cant unless you custom order alot of stuff.

z6.

hmo doesnt sell the Z6 i dont know why.

There is a guy selling a complete D16z6 in the market place for 600.

I have the JDM D15b
VTEC hits as loud (sometimes louder) than most stock Dual cam motors that any of my friends have

alchem

just a suggestion you might want to give these guy's a call
i purchased a D16Z6 from them for 575. and i believe it was either 150 or 175 delivery to the house garage door . really great guy's bent over backwards to provide a TPS that got broke in transport

D15B has 3 stage vtec,great power while still staying economic. The z6s are more plentyful so if you blow a hole in ur block,no prob. just get another one for 300!

kaoss_11

Seriously who cares which one you get? Which ever you find first thats cheaper get it. That simple close thread.

no sir your thinking of a different model. This one is only two stages...the one your thinking of is a different model which no one really swaps.

i like the z6 IMO

Bejita

WOW!!! Lots of bullshit information flying arround here....

I purchased a D15b from H motors last week and it will be here any day now.

First of all a D15B isnt hard to turbo at all!! It's a D series for expletive sake!! Exhaust and intake **** is all the same. You can get rods and pistons for it with no problem too. finding spare parts for it is easy too i.e. water pump, gaskets and ****...Just do your reseach for the right aplication.

Secondly......It's not a 3 stage Vtec. There are some that were stage 3 Vtec but they're not a desierable motor.

Go here.....YOU'LL LEARN A TON!!! http://www.d-series.org/forums...32597

no sir you cant...you need custom rods

DCSportEJ1Civic

i have the z6 in my ej. awsome high end power with an igntion upgrade header exaust and cai. plus its easy to find parts. theyre cheap. you only have to buy on cam if you upgrade that. hell a greddy tubo kit its only $1500 from nopi. and another $600 for a fmic. ud have way less trouble droppin in a z6 in my opinion b/c you can find parts easy here. new or used.

almost everyone i know who swapped in a B16 regreted it and wish they either just went SOHC turbo or LS turbo or saved for a b18c or c5 since the b16 cost so much and has so little power...

Libertariat

Where are you buying it from and how much will it cost?

Because I bet for an extra $300-500 you can get a b18b.

Ep1dem1c

you should be able to get a b18a/b installed for like 1500 full swap... atleast a few people where i live do it for that much. That includes everything from motor to tranny all mounts and everything
