An A6 crank fits in the D15? If it does... wouldn't that make the rod/stroke ratio worse?

vtec and turbo are the replacement for displacement..

and no a d16 crank will not fit on a d15 block, since the main journal sizes are smaller on the d15 block.

Re: D-Series motor build up (fastcrxsi90)

Ok, I need some possible setups. I'd rather build up the D15A then swap in a B-series motors. I think it will be cheaper. I'm trying to be around 200 to the wheels. I think that should be good for mid 13s.
