i have a d15b7 and i picked up a z6 head for 50 bucks. while it was off i wanted to get all the seals replaced, retainers..just rebuild it for boost. this will be the first swap/boost operation i will be working on....

the thing is someone mentioned that why dont i just pick up a z6 block and build that for boost?

what i am wondering is which is better for boost? the mini me swap or the z6 head/block set up??

i tried searching but i couldnt find exactly what i was looking for. i just found times and set ups.

any help is appreciated guys thanks alot.

 

If you are staying with a stock block I would recommend going with the Z6 block, it has the stronger rods.

 

well i was going to stay with the pretty much stock block, i mean stock rods but upgraded pistons.

but is it recommended that i upgrade the rods on which ever block i go with??

i dont plan on getting exreme amounts of hp out of this its a daily driver so.

i want like around like 160whp...if that sounds resonable

 

for 160whp you will be fine on the d15 block, but trust me you will want more than a measily 160whp.

 

bump for more info/comments ??? anyone

 

D16 rods suck, D15 rods suck worse, take your pick. 160 whp aint nothing.
