does the d16z6 have a lsd? and is so does the d16y8 have a much better one? Is it worth swapping out my good tranny for that?

on another note does the d16y8 head swap onto the d16z6 block without any trouble?

I want to get the y8 head, stick a cam in it, shave it to 10.4 to 1 and bolt in onto my d16z6

id also be using a Y8 mani and gsr TB, i just need to know about the tranny and y8 head what u guys think

Dont believe the D16z6 has an LSD...

Neither the Z6 or Y8 have a LSD. The Y8 head swaps onto the Z6 block.

I heard two of the bolts are different length between the Z6 and Y8 heads. So used the Y8 head bolts when you make the swap.

can u use tranny's from DOHC engines such as b16? onto the d16z6

NO!!!!!!!

hahah. no. that would be great though. if you want an lsd (you should ), quaife makes one for the d - they run around 8-900, but it's well worth it. if you look long enough (very long), you might be able to get it around 500.

i believe some other manufactures make them, but i don't know who. do any of you guys??

i dont want to buy an lsd. i was hoping to swap my tranny with one that already has an lsd.

then you're swapping your motor too, unless you stumble across a used d series tranny with an lsd someone already put in there.

yes, some of them had optional lsd.

Instead of lsd, why not do an intermediate/half shaft setup instead....WAY cheape and will cut down a lot on the torque steer and one tire fire

Are you aware of the axle setup on B series etc???

Instead of having one short axle and one REALLY long axle-like the D series, they use an intermedate shaft, which bolts to the block, and then a 1/2 shaft with cv joints to the hub.

This gives you equal length drive axles like that of B and H series engines. This cuts down tremendously on torque steer and one tire fire...but obviously not as great as lsd, but MUCH better than the orignal setup.

I'm going to make a write up sometime soon when I get my parts in order to do so.

i'll be waiting for that!!
i knew d series axles were different lengths, but i didn't know that about the bseries (i think i'm a dseries guy ). about how much does this cost roughly?

hypothetically lets say i do this equal length axle thingy, get an lsd, solid mounts, and a traction bar. how good do you think i'd be (well my car - i suck at driving for now ) at autox with a conservatively boosted (properly also) y8 (~5-6lbs with low spool)?

i've heard people say that autox with a turbo honda isn't that great of an idea, and a NA bseries is much better. but i would much rather just keep the good motor i've already got some $ into. what do you think?

That's what I'm doing

But I doubt I'll be going lsd unless I get a great deal.

My setup-

Apexi ball bearing kit at 8 psi tuned
equal length axles
custom chrome moly traction bar setup

This will be a great setup and assist the open dif greatly. I obviously have suspension, etc, but as far as power and front end mods goes very simple

I took first in region in autocrss this past season with a worn out Z6 and DX tranny
