A d15b vtec head is the same as the d16z6 head except for the camshaft..Z6 head would yeild a lower compression ratio,,but the y8 manifold is great for turbo..

Yeah ,you can use the y8 manifold on the Z6 head..

And you add the wires for vtec ,,then pin them into the ecu clips and use an ecu that can control vtec....Dont just put the head on and run the vtec wire to an rpm switch,,thats not really vtec,,you also need the fuel and timing that goes along with it..
