I have a 92 civic hatch that has the stock d16z6 in it and the motor has developed a bad knock so i was going to replace the motor i called a shop today and the said i should do the jdm d15 swap. they said its comparable to the z6 except for the JDM motor has a hotter cam and higher compression. I was hoping that i could get some info from you guys on here if any of you have used this motor and how well you like it. Any help would be great. Thanks

 

Yes, it's very comparable. The D15B SOHC VTEC does have the best SOHC stock cam Honda made.

 

yea its good (but if your on a budget.....all you really need is a new block....)

 

Buy the D15b. Cheap and easy ifyour on a budget.

and it should have relatively low miles compared to any z6 you will find around. I would swap it in if you are looking to stay with a sohc motor

 

anymore insight and thanks guys for all the info

 

They're being straight with you. I'm not sure if anyone has determined conclusively that the cam is more aggressive, but there is a slightly higher compression ratio.

 

Thanks for the help guys
