#121181 just bought a ex tranny and d16z6 head with manifold .. :woot:

i traded the guy some lowering springs and ls ecu for them..
he said the main shaft bearing is probally messed up so i gotta fix that and clean everything up.. and the head needs a couple stuff valve cover, injectors, dist, small stuff..

what would you guys think if i left the block alone on the d15b7 and just slapped on the z6 head what kinda power will i be making with that and the ex tranny?
im looking for something to atleast keep up with ls's 1st and 2nd gear maybe 3rd..??

#121184 you'll be making almost the same power as a d16z6. It's the head that gives the top end hp, the .1 liter difference in displacement isn't much of a difference.

That EX tranny will greatly help acceleration too :thumb:

#121194 yeah i have a couple questions will the d15z1 dist. work on this mini me?
how about injectors and all that other good stuff..? like t/b, stock manifold, vtec soleniod?

you think if i run this setup with a d16y8 head gasket it will keep up with most d16z6's
and pass smog?
