Interchangability?
I know that for the most part, D-series engines are like legos, in that you can pretty much put any piece with any other piece... Specifically, I was wondering if you can put a D16A1 head (DOHC, 86-89 Integra) onto a D15B2 block (Civic DX). Is it possible?

is it possible? yes.
is it worth the time and money? no. this question is asked probably twice a month.

Re: Interchangability? (rol1in0n20s)
I suppose this is a better question, that I'm sure is still asked an awful lot, but I'm new to Honda tuning... my last car was an '02 Crapalier and the only mod I did was H&R springs...
What exactly is the reliable potential of the D15B2? I'm not looking for 500hp and 11 second 1/4 miles, but I figure if I can squeeze maybe 150 naturally aspirated crank horsepower out of it, it'll have plenty of pep for toolin' around town and the occasional weekend at the local road course.

Would I be better off just putting an entire D16A1 in? Is that possible?</TD></TR></TABLE>
yes, its possible too. is it worth the hassle for 112/118hp? not in my book.

yes, you could probably get close to that number out of a D15b2. but keep in mind that you are almost doubling the horsepower out of that motor. so your asking of, "reliable potential" is kind of thrown out of the window.
