#152538 So i have a basically stock vx i tried putting a biger throtle bodie onto the intake but found out that it didnt line up with my manifold. is there any way to put a bigger tb on a vx mani or do i have to get an ew intake manifold? If i do need a bigger manifold will any otherone mount up to the z1 head?

#152540 vx is strictly an economy motor. great for mpg's, not going fast. your best bet would be to start lookin for a Z6 if you wanna go faster.

#152546 id put the z6 intake and throttle body on the z1 head and wait till u get the z6 head back

or just wait till the z6 head is done :thumb:

#152553 waiting sucks. will the z6 mani fit the z1 head?

#152560 im not 100% sure but ill have to say no, my only supporting evidence is the differences between my d15b8 head and my d15b7 head, the b8 head uses a tiny intake manifold/throttle body, and the water port on the head for the intake manifold is on the drivers side, where on the d15b7 its on the passenger side.

#152577 wont line up. vx port holes are tiny as %$#@. like i said, vx is a dead horse tryin to make NA power.. guess you could put some boost to one, but she wouldn't be happy. :D

just wait for the one your getting done up, and enjoy the mpg's for now.
