the d15b vtec has a different crank and uses d16 rods.

So is that on all D15's, all the d15 use d16 rods just different cranks?

whiterice

just the jdm d15b vtec.
it's a great motor.

to get the best result put the d15b vtec head in d16z6 block that is the d15b head is an agrissive cam

so you want to swap out heads (which are the same) because of the cam.
instead of swapping out the cam.

whiterice

you're positive that the d15b cam is more aggressive? I'm sure Bone will chime in.

from expeience of 3 trys.. the d15b is a ------ pos torqueless wonder and wayyy ------- overrated its ------ *** and like a ------ .9liter metro motor until you get to vtec. to ask between a d15b and a d16z6 would be like me asking you... would you rather a b16 or a b18c1 ? yeah its not that extreme but still... also those "hp/tq" numbers of the d15b you see it rated as is rated on the dual stage vtec version of the motor but no wheres will tell you about it til you call and bitch about their false advertisement of numbers. although if your just gonna build it then who cares.

short version: d15b is as over rated as a b16.

D15B VTEC is not a POS, just the longer stroke of the D16's greatly help low end torque...........

and since these motors aren't being revved to the moon like a B16...........

I've love to get into a RS debate on a boosted motor, it's sorta *** backwards.......just look at the boosted B18C's
