Hello! I got a Y7 head i picked up from a friend parting out his D16 engine.
I have a D15b7 and was wondering about the following

1. What timing belt should i use? also can i use the y7 cam gear or should swap the gear from the b7 head to the Y7
2. Do I need the Y7 intake manifold or can i use the B7?
3. Can i use my B7 wiring harness?
4. Y7 head gasket is what to use as well?
5. Can i reuse the head studs from the Y7?
(dumb question but Im on a budget and anything is better than the b7 head on it now)
Thanks in advance! Any advice is also welcome

 

1. y7.z6/y8/y5 belt, b7 pump/tensioner
2.use your b7 manifolds, alternator, and distributor
3.yes, swapping all of your parts over makes this a plug and play affair
4.y7/z6/y8/y5, even the d15b(x) head gaskets will work. your call on MLS or graphite.
5.search b7/y8 mini me, same head bolt combo.

 

Thank you answered what i needed!

 

Wait one more thing, If i switched the cam gear from the b7 to the Y7 i can use the B7 timing belt cant I?

 

no

 

What combo do i use then, leave the Y7 camgear on the Y7 and use the Y7 timing belt?

 

the simple solution is to buy an adjustable cam gear meant for a y7. you also need to remove the oil jet from the b7 block.

 

what about Y8 intake manifold instead of the Y7?
