I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Question on mini me swap

Post by Teaks92HB » April 17, 2008

OK, well I have a d16z6 motor.. I took the head off to find 3 of the cylinders full of water and rust. Mind you its been sitting outside for a year. Not the best place i know. But I plan on getting the head cleaned, the valves seem fine maybe get them re-seated. My main question is, I have a d15b8 the 70 hp 8 valve turd. Would there be any benefit to putting the 16 valve head on that block. Would it be worth it? I read somewhere that the D15B with 130 hp is a 1.5 liter with the z6 head. Any truth to that? and would I see similar results by putting that head on?

Thanks to anyone who can give me some knowledge!

Actually yeah i'm pretty sure you can do this and it will give you like 10.8:1 c/r or somethin around there. Either that or take those d15 pistons and do a quick rebuild to the z6 for the higher compression. The d15 rods are weak but if its just for fun, go for it!

You can search "d-series compression ratio calculator" in google and find out the exact compression for whatever setup.
