The d15b5 jdm engine puts out 5 more horse than the z6. and its really easy to squeeze a decent amount of horsepower because of its large aftermarket support.
There is no JDM D15B5, it's a D15B. JDM engines don't have the following number
And I'd go with it over the d16z6, it's what I had in my EJ1 and they're nice little engines, for a SOHC. Overall it's the same as the D16Z6 but with a bit less displacement, either or, they're really about the same except for the D15's shorter stroke/higher comp.Anyways, welcome to the Honda game
Thanks. I am def doing the d15b. I wanna keep it sohc and it seems like the best choice.
i wanna do my own build. A car isnt really ypurs unless you mod it your self, thanks for the offer tho. lol
ill put it to you this way... your going to pay like $800 dollars for a motor (D15B) that makes a mere 5HP more than a $400 one (D16Z6)
your probably going to want to mod the motor in the future, and its MUCH easier to mod a Z6 than the D15B.
trust me, i know my single cams.
I am leaning towards the d15b but If the z6 is really like 400 then i could go ahead and get my new internals and prep for boost.
Who the hell pays 800 for ANY single cam?!
Both the d16z6 and d15b go for around $300-$500 depending on where you're looking.
Like I've told SO many people on this forum, go to a local motor import shop and buy a d15b. Inspect it to make sure it doesnt say "VTEC-E" on the valve cover, and see if it has a warranty. Most good shops have a 12k mile warranty.

your not taking into account that hes going to want to change the timing belt, water pump, and possibly oil pump. rear main seal, get a new clutch, plus all the small stuff to just make it run.. so yes about $800 for a single cam.
i dunno bout you, but i dont just toss used motors in my car and expect them to work.

Yeah thats a really bad idea. I finnally have pics to.
lol no kidding. theft recovery much
yes, i said $800...
i was just trying to say, when i say a motor cost "X amount" i always tack a few hundred on the motors sale price because any smart person would do a major tune up on it (belt, pumps, clutch ect).
i was also just trying to make the point that the JDM D15B is not worth the money for the extra few HP it makes. just my
I took the fenders and hood and headlights off. My core support is bent so i am going to fix that before i do anything.
Andd actually the dude wrecked it so ia m fixing everything that got messed up. If only i could trick the insurance into paying for it. Lol. It does run well and it has fenders and a hood(they are beat up of course) but i bought this as a fun project. Also take into account that i have a donor car for all the parts i need.
