I'm planning on swapping out my D15B7 on Saturday for my new D16Z6. Looking at it, all of the hoses arent there. can I use the hoses from my B7??

You will find that the D15 has two fittings on the pipe between the water pump and the thermostat housing. The D16 has only one.
The D16 intake manifold should have a fitting that takes the place of the second return line.

Im doing my research before the swap on Saturday. found this Pic which is going to be really helpfull. Not sure what manual its from but anyway... It is a diagram which states 2 models D15B7 and D16Z6 (just happens to be the 2 models that I am swapping to and from). Is this because they are identical? I hope so :) and I guess this is the entire cooling system? I am a complete n00b, excuse the stupid questions I'm learnin as I go

Cheers :D

^^^from the helms manual
from doing mini-me's, i know they(b7/z6) are very similar.
just routing coolant to eacv and ficv and back to supply.

that's all on the motor itself, should not be an issue if you are swapping the whole engine.
