Well first of all its a DX motor and it'll be slower than your orig. motor. Why dont you just rebuild the stock motor? Or just get a sohc v-tec swap. They're not expensive. I'm suggesting here...

1.5 d series has a shorter stroke than 1.6 d series, so technicaly the block can handle higher revs.
I say keep the d15b7, especially if its in a lot better shape than your a6. they have a lot of potential. You might find the a6 cam inthe b7 will give almost identical performance in horsepower to the a6, although a very small bit less torque due to displacement.
