d15b6 vs. d15b7

[turbo sol]

what is the difference between the b6 and b7 other than hp and tq. what makes the b7 superior to the b6?

 

[K2e2vin]

I believe the B6 is an 8-valve engine. B7=16 valves.

 

[turbo sol]

so is it possible to swap the heads?

 

[K2e2vin]

Yep

 

[turbo sol]

what all would i need to do the swap?

 

[K2e2vin]

The heads, maybe new head gasket.

BTW, one head is OBD0, while the other is OBD1, might need to swap sensors and/or wires depending on what car it's going into.

 

[turbo sol]

so i can use the original hardware right? and what models does this engine come in?

 

[K2e2vin]

B6 is from the 88-91 CRX HF, and the B7 is from 92-95 DXs

thanks a bunch...i'm gonna do that until i have the money for a k20 or h22 swap. i know that is a big step up in power and cost so i'm not going to waste any money on a b-series swap or anything expensive like that. just gonna wait.
