the d16z6 because the y8 has horrible oil flow characteristics
then the jdm d15b.. the only 1.5L honda motor that I'd boost.

JDM_SOHC

on a stock setup, we should consider mileage first thats why i said d15b first, almost promised to be less mileage than the Z6....

_smitty_

yea thats what i plan on doing and i also plan on building the motor also.

sr20hardbody

in that case ^^^ your best bet is the zc vtec which is the same as the d16z6 so parts will be available for building but also has the low mileage of the jdm d15b.

JDM_SOHC

hmmm, id still rather go with the D15B and FJT Custom rod/piston combo...

Guy here in austin swears by the a6 block/z6 head combo with vitaras and eagles and a mildly built head. He had one in a CRX with almost 300hp+ before he blew it on a shitty tune.

sr20hardbody

personally i would too but you gotta admit the d15b can be hella confusing when ordering parts. i have one and im still not fully clued in on what parts work on what i just know the vx timing belt works but what tensioners, water pumps etc... and for how long will those custom fjt rods be available?

_smitty_

thanks guys all answers will go into consideration

z6 bottom end with a y8 head cant go wrong with that frankenstein swap.

mattyv

iv seen what z6's can do

i drive a honda

z6 w/ a y8 manifold, running a b series 60MM tb, and vitara pistons

turbojdmhatch

just check out the F/I forum and all the SOHC set ups man

boost and bass

if your gonna go frankinstein do z6 block with d15b head but hte d15b is a very good motor givin it is only 1.5 if u do a z6/d15b combo try to aim for a d15b tranny also

Someone did their homework

Basically If it relates to the head buy parts for a D16Z6 (Si) if it relates to the block buy parts for a D15Z1 (VX) timing belt and water pump are both for a VX, tensioner is wierd, nothing else is the same, Z6 is close, but has a larger roller.

Most would say the d16z6, and all around as a whole I'd agree, I have one sitting at 430whp so they'll hold it. That's fully built, but it's there. If you could piece one, i'd go with a d16a6 shortblock with a z6 head and shimmed oil pump. The a6 girdle is the strogest as it's steel. They're all cheap enough to fix if you wreck one, that's the good thing.

thanks guys, now what kind of turbo setup should i get when im just trying to have a fast car nothing higher then 300whp.
dont have that much money but want to do it as legit as possible, i dont want to be fixing anything over and over again.
