Default Z6 head on a6 block?

How muh of a horsepower gain would that be? I'm running over ideas to make my hatch faster. B swap is an option but so is z6 mini me. A stock z6 head will add how much hp? Then what about port and polished? Need some ideas. I like my d series but idk what to do.

How about this is a tech thing and I know nothing about hp add and junk. What use is a tech forum if you can't ask questions. It's just plain stupid.

it's not really stupid per say. it's just the fact that this question has probably already been asked, or someone has already done it, and has posted it in a older thread. if you use the search feature, or google it with honda-tech in the search, you'll probably come up with a few threads already answering your post.

it's just to weed out the repetitiveness.

you can keep your ac with a B series but a z6 head you will gain about 10hp to the wheels... It takes dedication to stick to the Dseries... D series is nice for cheap HP when you run boost on it

I agree with you. I use the search function on honda tech and doesnt even give me the closest one im looking for just gives me random titles.
