mixing heads with blocks
 

what do i get mixing a cx d15b7 block with a ex d16z6 head?
what kinda hp am i looking to get?
whats the diffarence between d15b7 block and crank to d16z6 block and crank?

Re: mixing heads with blocks
 

You get what is referred to as a mini-me.

D15 block has shorter deck height and the crank has smaller bearings and a smallerr stroke.

I know next to nothing about D-series but i think the CX motors are 8valves so the pistons dont have the valve reliefs in them so a z6 head on a 8v block would = :X

that about a d16y7 block and crank with a d16z6 head?
is that a good combo?
and it will be sleeved and have turbo pistons put in.

Re: mixing heads with blocks
 

A Y7 block is the same as a Y8. The oil pumps are questionable on those motors though. You might want to change to a Z6 pump, pickup, and pan.

It will be a complete Z6 then, basically.

Re: mixing heads with blocks
 

I dont think the pump will work without redrilling.
Anyways for a z6 head on a y block you need 9 y bolts and 1 z6 bolt

Re: mixing heads with blocks
 

You have to match the pump with the pan. You would only need to redrill when using say a Z6 pump with a Y7/Y8 pan.

well i got a d16y5 block and crank and i have a d16z6 oil pump and pan
and a d16z6 head will that all work all together?
and why is it u need only one z6 head stud and not all.
on my ls vtec i had u used the head stud that mached the head.
so on a y5 block i would use 9y and one z6 and where do i put the one z6 at on the bolt pattern?

Re: mixing heads with blocks
 

do that and you'll never have to check the oil!

nor will you be able to.

d16y-series blocks = oil dipstick part of the oil pump housing = with z6 pump = no dipstick.

Re: mixing heads with blocks
 

wow....why are you complicating this? these motors are a dime a dozen...pic up a z6, or y8, or even a y7....anything 16v would be better. There isn't much in mix matching these little guys. Unless you want to waste money on a new trend called "what works with what".

Re: mixing heads with blocks
 

Good call.

Re: mixing heads with blocks
 

so is there a way to move the oil stick
or is there another oil pump i can use on a y5 block thats good
all i hear is Y pumps are crap and why?
what if i was to use a d16a6 block would that be better then y5 block?

Re: mixing heads with blocks
 

I fucked a y8 oil pump last night

Re: mixing heads with blocks
 

Did you end up stripping out the block? :P GSR head bolts on any ls/vtec combo...no matter if you have a b16 head, gsr head, or type-r. And why downgrade from a b-series to a d? :-X

Re: mixing heads with blocks
 

wrong, use all 88-95 bolts, when putting a Y head on an 88-95 block use 9 88-95 bolts and 1 Y bolt.

Re: mixing heads with blocks
 

i had to sell the motor for a new car my car was totled and the motor was fine.
as for the gsr head studs there were fine they worked perfect.

88-95 block use 9 88-95 bolts and 1 Y bolt.
where does the one Y bolt go?

Re: mixing heads with blocks
 

my d series head stud knowledge is right

Re: mixing heads with blocks
 

there are oilpump mods for the obd2 oilpump.
the reason it sucks is because it doesnt flow as much as the obd1 or z6 oilpump.
but here are the mods.
