I was just curious wich engine is better? the d16z6 or d15b. I would think the d16z6 because of the extra liter but im not an expert. Any input would help.



thanks

Well the 1.6L SOHC VTEC has 125hp and 107ft/lbs of torque.
The 1.5L SOHC has about 107hp and 90'ish ft/lbs of torque.

Extra liter? Ummmmm you mean extra 0.1 liter... a D16 is 1.6l the D15b is 1.5l and the BEST is a D16z block w/ D15b head :smoka:

Re: which is better? D16z6 or D15b?

i own a jdm d15b vtec and i kill d16z6

basically a jdm d15b vtec is a d15b block with a d16z6 head from factory(thats for the 92-95) slightly different rods than regular d15b

D15B owns d16s

Re: which is better? D16z6 or D15b?

i think its funny when people like 91d15bvtec say their engine can kill the bigger one...just because its what theyre stuck with...

kind of like some people with d16z6's who say they smoke b16's...

and when b16 owners say they smoke b18's etc.. etc....

just find it amuzing

Re: which is better? D16z6 or D15b?

well let's see, d16z6 = 125 hp 107 ft/lb of torque
D15B = 130 hp and not sure about torque figures. The less weight and 5 extra horse should aid in beating a d16
