Default d16z6 to jdm d15b

Well last night i was ****** around on the freeway and spun a rod bearing, so im looking for a replacement. HMO sells the d15b long blocks for $435, seems like it would be a decent swap to upgrade with since im broke as ****.

Question:
Any wiring changes or does it all plug right in?
Trannies bolt up??

Opinions and options please tell me.

the d15b is a SOHC VTEC, 130hp. It came out of the JDM VTi Civic's.

So since they are both SOHC vtec's should be plug and play right??

if you need the engine right away, get the d15b. if you can do without it for a while, a b16a2 or a b18b sounds very nice. either way, you're upgrading so it doesn't really matter. Good luck with it.

if youre going from a d16z to a d15b, then its plug and play literally.
