can someone break down all these engine codes for the stupid neon owner! d15, d15 b16 b18. It all makes me want to shout out "BINGO!" or something. I'm looking into swapping my engine next year sometime and I want to know what the cheaper one would be, what the best one would be, which one sucks balls....etc etc.

thanks in advance to the knowledgable crowd.

None of them suck balls because your dealing with Honda, not Dodge product. The letter is the series of motor and the other two number is the engine displacement in liters and dropping the decimal point. So, D15 would be equal to a d-series motor that is 1.5L in displacement.

yeah,
First digit = engine series ex.d,b,f,h
second and third digit = engine displacement ex.1.5,1.6,1.8

as far as engine swaps go your car already has a 1.5 d-series in it and the easiest swap would be a d16 which is pretty much a bolt in into a FI car except for a few wiring changes. thene theres the b-series swaps which require new aftermarket mounts and quite a few wiring changes. then theres other odd things like newer d-series swaps and h-series and whatnot but those arent documented that well.

BTW good luck with the future swap.

It's not true of all Honda. It's only true 1987 and up. Pre-1987 had two letters and a number that didn't follow any strict nomeclature system.

lol well as it stands right now my dodge would SMOKE my honda. and though they are out there, there aren't any honda's around me that would smoke my car. no offense. I've only been beat by one so far and I have to say I was impressed by the kids inginuity with his custom made turbo kit mounted on a GSR motor. ironcally he was a ford mechanic from RI

ANYWAY, now that I've defended my poor little neon from the haters.... Thanks you so much for the info guys espcially GIFF. now I just have to figure out if I want to do this myself or not....

[badpenny]

Yeah, you want to do it yourself. Cause a shop will rape you on installation. That is of course unless you own your own shop, then you don't have to bother looking for a shop that will at least touch it with a 10 ft. pole. Just be glad your not in the DFW area. If it ain't new they don't touch it. If its gotta carb, they won't touch it. If it ain't gotta ecu, they won't touch it. You get the idea. btw: as a side note if anyone from texas wants to prove me wrong. Please do but not here. PM me. I will reply.

bring your car and a bag of money on down here to pennsylvania and i'll see to it that your crx beats your neon. its not hard....trust me . not ragging on the peon, just saying that personally i believe that the crx has more potential for performance, but it will cost $$$.
