Get 30 posts and put up a thread in the Wanting to buy forum thingy. I'm sure out of all of us you could peice together. Or junkyard, passwordjdm.com any other motor parts site.

Welcome to the site man. Uh oh.....you just asked a loaded question and this threads gonna end up with like 30 replies or something! The d vs. b debate rises again! :laughing1: :laughing1:
I'll start....I just had a JDM d15b put in my hatch. Just easier to do with less mods and inexpensive. But that's just me..oh...and it'll have a shot of juice too! :drive:

Welcome. Just remember,if you do a motor swap in an HF, you have to swap hubs with a 90-93 Integra or 88-91 Civic/CRX (non-HF) since the HF ones are smaller then other EF's. Oh, and stick with the D-Series.
