Do some research on the engine. The Y series have a weak oilling system.

hehehe....
Use the search button..... Its right up there in the top right of your screen.
Ok yes the D16Y7 is a cheap engine that you can play around with. They are fine turboed, just as good as Y8 (96-00 USDM EX) because its the same bottom end but just keep in mind that the oiling system could use some work on them. They like to spin bearings. What I would do is either hog out the outlet on the oil pump or get a D16Z6 pump. Could maybe save you some headaches. The compression ratio on them is low enough too about 9.2:1 ish. I'd look for a Y8 intake manifold too because they have the funky horizontally mounted throttle body.
I'd keep the A6 though.

Re: d16y7

i think im gonna rebuild it first with some vitaras and rods....... is it worth it putting on a z6 head as well. i have access to one of them. or an a6 head?
