Default D15b8 + D16z6?

Question:


My d15b8 Is...quite possibly the slowest car ive ever driven , merging with traffic is a chore at times. I was wondering if i could throw on a d16z6 intake manifold , or any other manifold that would make it MUCH perkyer, any help would be awesome! thanks!

Your best bet is to put a z6 or y8 head on it. Its called a mini-me swap.

You won't gain a noticeable bit of power. Your engine's power weakness is the fact that the head only has 8 valves.

It will help your car breathe better if you want to add headers and 2 1/4 piping.
