Will a b16a bolt up to the D15b 5 speed ?
I can get my hands on a b15a engine no probs.
B16A = 170 hp
D15B = 130 hp
Space is limited and ill most likely turbo it.
Could go with a B16A but i purchased a whole Domani for $200 and have all the parts for the D15B conversion.
Pretty much no parts are interchangeable between the D and B series motors or gearboxes
Guessing its only a typo but no such thing as a B15a.
Second gen B16A's are 170hp, the early ones (in EF civics, EF CRXs and pre facelift DC integras) are only 160.
First gen motors had a cable clutch whereas second gen are hydraulic. AFAIK theyre interchangeable though.
One vote for the B series, pretty much a better engine all around. The space thing is an interesting comment, cant say Ive even seen one in real life but theres plenty of B series minis around and probably some turbo ones too (the yellow Dejoux comes to mind which have an even smaller engine bay than a mini) and an 1100 must have more room than a mini.
