- Wed Jan 04, 2012 7:10 pm #288495 So you have a d16z6 and your picking up that d15b7. Why?

- Wed Jan 04, 2012 7:18 pm #288500 well this guy wants to trade me for a hatch and it has that motor so whats the diff from d16z6 from this series

- Wed Jan 04, 2012 7:34 pm #288506 Z6 has vtec, higher compression, higher redline. Shorter ratio transmission and better internals.

- Wed Jan 04, 2012 7:36 pm #288507 oh damn well i never knew that ... like i said im using this forum to learn more about my motor and stuff like that but is it all possible to really turbo charge a d15b7 motor on stock . parts

- Wed Jan 04, 2012 7:43 pm #288509 It is but the z6 would have better gains.

- Wed Jan 04, 2012 7:52 pm #288512 check out the D series section of the forum. There's a sticky thread toward the top with the specifications of D series engines. Usually the answer is easy to find if you take a minute to search for it.

sweet just truth is .. im really trying to just build a basic boost on this motor.. i want to

ok, great. you've said that like 6 times.. here's the run-down.

d16z6 > d15b7
vtec > non-vtec
boost @ 9 lbs on a b7 won't do much for you
boost @ 9 lbs on a z6 won't do much for you, but more than the b7
slapping an ebay turbo kit on your motor won't last

------------------

keep your z6. you'll thank yourself later!

punctuation rules, you should try it. it'll help clear up alot of the confusion on what you're trying to ask. and pictures help too.
