dude it would still be the slowest piece of shit! and the biggest waste of cash! just find urself a SI head 88-91 or d16y8-z6, d15b head and just do a mini me. You also have to do the mpfi conversion. That would be the best bang for your buck vs the bore of the 1.5 to 1.8.. and well i dunno if that would even be possible.. finding internals for it n shit.

boring a 1.5 to a 1.8 isnt to possible becuase your cylinder walls would be waffer thin. and you cant really swap the sleeves. i would jsut do a b18 if u want a 1.8 liter engine. but other wise mini me's are a good way to go. yo uget good hp and good gasmileage. best of both worlds.

si and dx head are the same, and it would be more reliable to just get a full swap instead of just a head.

buy a B18a, swap it in, and call it a day.

I dont exactly believe that dude.. i mean yeah maybe the d15b2 might have the same head.. but what about the d15b1?? b1 70hp b2 92hp, my hatch had the b1 when i first got it. But hey i really dont know.. thats why im curious now..... ne1 shed any light?
