Default D15B6 Info

I dont mean to double post, i know people dont like it too much, but im not getting the info i need in the EG/EK forum. So i thought i would come back to my Ef guys who might have more info on this HF motor.


So i just picked up a 94 Sedan DX For the lovely Price of..... $20.00!!!
Yes, you did just read that correctly.
and its not in tooo bad of condition either!

Seems that the oil pump went out, and now she knocks like crazy.
But with 236,xxx miles, what do you expect??

So Im going to throw in a B6 that I have because I need this new car on the road YESTERDAY!!

But I noticed at the last minute that I am stupid.
The b6 is suppose to be an 8 valve, and the b7 IS a 16

Can I switch heads easily enough?

Is the switch worth it?

And will the intake manifold off the b7 for the b6? because i dont have the b6 one anymore...

I dont want to switch heads unless it is necessary...

So in doing more research, there were 2 B15B6's... on have 60 HP and on has 90...
the 88-89 was the 60 (8 valve)
and the 90-91 was the 90 (8 or 16 valve?)

So how can you tell the difference between the two?

all 88-91 CRX HF D15B6 engines were 8 valve, 60hp - the pistons only have valve reliefs for the 8 valves

Just run the 8v head and use the y7 intake manifold. Run it has if it was a y7. Should run ok.
