hey guys, ive been wanting to swap my D15z1 in my 93 hatch for a D16z6. im not looking for any real power as this is my daily driver but wanted to be able to keep up with traffic a bit better. i have two jobs and am in school on top of traveling out of state often, so i commute a lot and would love to keep the best gas mileage my setup plan will allow. anyways i was wanting to know if you could give me some tips, suggestions and answer a couple questions.
aside from the p28 ecu ill need, what are some other mandatory components the z6 needs?
will i have to alter my egr valve control box?
and will i have to change any wiring for any of the sensors?
im sure ill think of more questions as i dig into it, but any help is apppreciated. thanks in advance!

 

get the z6 trans to go with it! not a must but a nice addition.

 

you should do just the z6 transmission. you'll be suprised how much just that does for you

 

You won't use your EGR at all. Your 5 wire O2 will have to be swapped for. The 4 wire and rewired. You can reuse your VX distributor if you want.

 

i was thinking about supercharging the z6 just to make it a little fun. i had to planned on using the vx trans and hoping that the supercharger would make up for the lack of acceleration, and still have those tall gears for the gas mileage. sound promising or am i way off?

 

dont buy a supercharger. its gonna run about $2000 for a quality one, and for that much. you could almost buy a complete b16 swap, or a h22 full swap from hmotorsonline and still have cash left over for the hasport mounts and still have more power

ive also considered doing an h swap.. my buddy had one in his del sol and i loved it. but im not really wanting to do a big swap. everyone around here has dropped in a b/k swap and boosted the **** out of it. i just wanna be a bit different. just have a fun little daily driver. i have another car im building for pawwr also ive found a jr supercharger for $750. good price?

 

honestly i still wouldnt touch a supercharger. theres a reason no one runs them. i would buy an ebay turbo kit, and SCRAP the turbo, go to the junkyard and pull a t3 off of a turbo volvo or saab and put it together with that.

 

whats the pros of a turbo charger vs supercharger other then the fact that it runs off exhaust gasses?

 

free power from the turbo, there is no parasitic loss of power due to a drag on the crankshaft. the only bad thing is turbo lag, which if you have the proper size turbo for the car, you should have minimal lag.

 

what size trim do you think would be best for me? and thanks a lot for all the advice
