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

 

there is a huge difference in the 2. the z6 it has more power and trq, shorter geared transmission and of course VTAAK... go with the d16

 

maybe im getting wrong info? what i believed was that they both had ~130hp same trq and both had vtec but the z6 is a 1.6l whereas the d15b is 1.5l......am i wrong about this?

 

d16z6= 125hp @6600 rpm 106 lb/ft @ 5200 rpm
d15b = 130ps @6800 rpm 14.1kg/m@5200 rpm

o **** my fault....no your right...for some reason i was thinking d15b7

both motors are great for boost so go with which ever one is cheaper

 

i got a block tranny head shift linkage for you for 400 bucks, there seperated from each other for shipping, pulled out of my 93si for the b16 and spun like a top till i pulled it out

 

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.

 

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

 

Youknow a good group of people to talk to about dseries..is Exospeed racing in california..go to the site exospeed.com... they do record holding stuff with dseries..and been put out there by magizines to be the best in it....Plus great tech and so nice..Talk to Will..hes owner..and hell help you and guide you to anythign you need

 

bump cuz now im debating buying a d15b from hmo instead of buying a d16 from a local....is the trq difference noticeable cuz i know the d16 has like 5 more

 

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...

 

bump for 400 engine for sale

 

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
