I believe like a long time ago some guy had a b16a in his 93 cx hb.. he swapped in that baby and basically was just as quick.. it's a good motor from what I remember and is not to hard to come by in the LA area
oh yeah I believe the guy was on Honda-tech BUT THIS was a while ago

i think eg6ajk ran that setup or is running that setup not sure on that though. i think that motor makes 127 hp pretty much like the d16z6 plus i think it came with an lsd tranny.

i think the d15b has 130 ps. how does that convert to hp?
It's about the same ps just stands for Pferdestärken which is german for horsepower.

I believe 1 PS = 0.98 HP
so 130 PS * 0.98 hp/PS = 127.4 hp
