Do you mean D15z1 :?

Yes you can put a z6 head on that motor :thumb: You can use the d15z1 distributor on the z6 head too.

#191540 d15z6 is a european only motor basically a d16z6 cept its obd2 and vtec kicks in lower for better torque
i see no point in swapping heads its basically the same head
you could swap heads but your gonna have to switch the head to obd2 wich is not worth it in my opinion

#191542 you could put the z6 cam in the z5 head and swap intake manifolds
that might be a nice little power adder
if you want to do a head swap i would sugest doing a y8 head swap since you already have obd2
