d16z6 to d16y8?

Could i swap a d16y8 or y7.. not sure which it is... with my d16z6.... is everything going to bolt up. My turbo is a greddy kit w/ the custom manifold.

What kind of boost could i safely run and drag app run on d16y8 w/ rod/piston combo. Should i do headgasket? what else?

Any comment of opinion on this would be great.

Because my friend is doing a gsr swap and givin me his motor for free(only hass less than 50k miles on it) Plus, If I was gona take the motor out I was planning on doin a piston/rod combo. Its still 1.6liter sohc vtec. Just wondering if everything would bolt up exactly.

I believe the Y8 (You don't want the Y7, it's the DX non-tec, unless you're you're going to do a D7/Y8 block/head mini.. ) has a little better flow Same horse, but better flow. PErsonally.. Unless you're doing the mini.. I wouldn't even bother with it.

Too much hassle; not enough gain.

i thought the z6 flowed better but the y8 makes for for compression...im probably wrong as usual though

The head.. not the intake manifold..

The Z6 intake manifold flows better than the Y8, but, the Y8 has the largest plenum. So.. N/A == Y8.. FI == Z6 manifold wise..

so basically if he swapped in the y8, he would want to keep his z6 head and manifold, if he was to go turbo that is

Yes.. only because the Z6 distributor wouldn't fit his Y8 head.. otherwise he'd do this..

Y7 block.. Y8 head.. Z6 intake manifold.. Mucha compresión and flow.
