- Mon Oct 10, 2011 3:54 pm #277056 I am going to pick up a d16a6 shortblock later this week. It's only 50 bucks, so I figure at the very least I can get the cam out of it and scrap the rest to get most of my money back.
At the most, if it's in good shape I may keep it and build it up for turbo or a mini me. I know that theres not much difference between it and a d15b7, but it'll be something I can work on and still drive the car.
But either way the cam will go into the b7 for now.

I've done a bunch of research on it and it looks like I will need to use a mix of crx and eg mounts, a d16z6 IM with fuel rail and injectors. I am unsure about which dizzy and ecu to use though. I know it will definitely need tuned when it's done, but do I go with the a6 ecu or keep the b7 I have now since it won't have vtec?
I know the a6 isn't the most powerful, but I figure since it a good deal it will be a good first engine build.

- Mon Oct 10, 2011 5:08 pm #277074 I have the a6 in my hatch it should drop right in. I was running it off a p06 ecu until I swapped a z6 head on it now I'm running a p28.

- Thu Oct 20, 2011 2:08 pm #278408 I picked up the motor on Tuesday night. When I got there the guy told me it was the carbed one. I got it anyway, since I can just change the IM to be EFI. I know that the carb cam is different, will I need to change the whole head or just the cam and timing gear? Is there any other modifications that I'll need to do?
