d16z6 10-12psi is pretty solid. A d15 probably would last longer for lower boost levels but they are so weak.

The vx rods are like tooth picks. D16 bottom ends are way stronger.

get another D16 bottom end...handle more boost and no replacement for displacement
For 200 bucks you can get a D16A6 and swap the Z6 head on it or a D16Y7 block

z6 head plus vx bottom = jdm d15b
i would do that and the rods arent that thin...200whp easy

the VX bottom end has rather large dished pistons.

add that with a Z6 head (which has large combustion chambers compared to a z1 head), and you have a 1.5L no torque engine with also very low compression.

can you say turbo lag?
can you say weak rods?
