correct, its good motor, if u get the right one, with correct tranny, with LSD, win win situation, though since ur in melb, u cannot replace ur current gen D16y with D15b because simply its a older motor, but i heard there was a loop hole, not sure though

SOHC VTEC D15B is the same power (give or take a pony or two) as a D16Y1 and a Y8 SOHC VTECS !! should have a black Valve cover also..

i would love a JDM D15 vtec LSD ... that would be good fun =D

how much did he want for it?

also remember u cant put an engine in ur car thats older than the build date of the car

holy crap thats cheap - over here in WA we would pay well over 1k$ for a D-series =/

if its a D15b Vtec with manual LSD than it would be a fun little engine =D
