Better? For what? Why the hell would any motor be "worth it" just to say it is JDM.

There are many flavors of the D15B. Maybe spec them out and then YOU can answer your own question because, frankly, no one has a clue what is "worth it" to you. And this isn't really a tech question.

the best swap would be a z6 with the better oiling at the crank. sometimes it takes some modification for it to work or drop right in.. the d15b is over rated and if this is just a DD you dont plan on boosting or doing anything but bolt on's the y8 would be fine.
