Salut just tested Al-31FN Series 3 engines (137kN) for J-10 and mentions a contract with China. Based on the thrust, it's most likely Al-31F M1 with slight modifications (gear box position) so "testing" shouldn't take long. J-10B will probably be equipped with these higher thrust variants.
Makes me wonder, are J-15s equipped with Al-31F or Al-31F M1.
I can't post links right now, just goto Salut's website and it's the 2nd article under news.
J10B will use WS10B while J15 will use WS10A.
I you look, the J-10C has DSI inlets.
Planes with 2 engines can't use DSI.
There are lots of planes with twin engines and DSI: the J-20 and J-31 are two examples.
