What else is done to the engine? If nothing, don't waste your time.

If you decide to make the purchase anyways...make sure you dont buy cams as in 2 of them. A single cam only has 1 cam.

I've seen a couple stock d16z6's that had i/h/e using a 59300 cam with a tune, and granted they were still a single cam but not all that bad for one.

Dont get ur hopes up that doing bolt on's to a d15/d16 is going to improve the power greatly.

Im not looking for much improvement just around 200bhp, I know that swapping to a B engine can give me around 170 stock but in my area its hard to find B engines, turbo wise dont you have to uprate basically everything engine wise?

200bph is a huge improvent on any d-series. Start looking at other's builds...research....and see what you're getting yourself into.

Thanks for the advice I will look into it, but I dint really wanna get into engine swaps as I know a few people that have done swaps on other cars but it took like 6 months to get it running properly and I wanna be ready for usc in august.

That is absolutely insane. Sounds like a bunch of people not knowing what the hell they are doing.

I did my first swap in only a few days. My second swap took about a week. If you do enough research you can do anything. 6 months is outrageous.
