Default Im getting a D15b motor... what should I do with it????

Well I have a 94 eg with a D16z6 motor with 175000 miles on it! I can get a d15b motor for hardly nothing with 75k on it. I have a friend who would do the swap for 250. would it be worth the money to drop a mini me swap in my car ($250)??? What does the swap consist of??? thanks

Search and do the swap yourself. Is it a JDM D15b? I say turbo it, thats about the only thing worth the $ on a d series....(I have one).

What's wrong with your D16Z6? Those motors are pretty identical in power.

IMO, kepe the D16Z6 if nothing is wrong with the motor.

his mileage on the Z6 is high, which made him think about using the y7 block
