Default LX D15b2 to D16a6

i have a 89 SI civic family owned since the day it left the lot. i wrecked it. fell asleep on the road. **** happens. now i have a 90 LX with a D15b2. the engine has issues what exactly not sure if its just bad rings or bad valve seals i did a head shave and replaced the headgasket with a quad layered steel one from autozone and it didnt seal for **** so it was burnign water and oil still. if it was just water i could see replacing the headgasket but my compression and leak down test led me to beleive it was the rings that was bad but it could have been because the headgasket didnt seal. so i got tired of ******* with that trash *** B15 and now im replacing it with my solid *** hell D16a6. i already removed the D15 i just need to add the D16a6 and the wireing to dpfi to mpfi. my question is what flywheel do i use? i can find a freaking answer in facts or on the Woogle searcher.

kind of vague question.

why do you need a flywheel? wasn't your a6 complete?

well from what i have read and understand the starters are different. so if i use the d16a6 i need to use the same starter. and if i use the same starter/flywheel then i need to use the corresponding clutch. so it was more of a question on what clutch was better than the other. granted this doesnt seam to be a big deal but if i got it apart now why not bust out the 2 bills and get the clutch job done now. since the clutch on the d15 is pretty worn and the same with the d16. and yes i have a complete a6. only missing dizzy since it was smashed by the battery during the collision. otherwise i could have driven it home 3 miles down the road.
