I know that this is a broad topic but I need some quick help.

I am wondering what would be the easiest / most reliable build. Im looking into buying a 92-95 EX 4 Door. I was wondering if building a spare Z6 or building a jdm d15 would best to make a RELIABLE 300whp.

I know a block guard, new sleeves, valve train, rods, pistons, etc will be in the near future. I want to build this the right way. Then turbo it after its fully built.

I was just wondering which would be the easiest / reliable build.

Z6 or JDM D15?

-TIA

 

I've always perferred the Z6 because its just easier to get parts for. I know you can get all the stuff for a D15 too, but I hate searching to find out what parts work with it.

 

if ur gonna build a motor find a z6

 

z6 would be best, and the easiest.

But, a lot of people have done vitara builds with a d15b usin z6 rods and vitara pistons, with a stock headgasket, and no clearance issues, so the choice is yours.

 

there basically the same motor.. ones is just jdm and the other usdm.

99% of the parts ar interchangable

It would be a flip of a coin.. lol GL

 

z6, theres always people posting threads trying to find what parts will work for their d15b's.

 

yea..

But in all reality the parts are interchangable. To find true d15b vtec parts is going to be hard but if you had a d15b vtec you could swap just about any part from a z6 and it would work just fine

 

The only real differences between the d15b and the z6 are......

The pistons have the wrist pin located in a different spot

The water pump and the t-belt, use vx vtec-e ones

and the d15b uses a 1.5 block,

Several people have used a d15b to build and several have gone past 300whp with no problems.

I believe the trouble with the d15b may be over once this kit is done. FJT solves the deck height trouble with a shorter rod and vitara combo. Good read.
