Swapping a d16z6 or y8 head onto it, with tuning and bolt ons, perhaps even A6 pistons, you can be yielding about 130 hp, To the WHEELS. I've seen it done, and it's very possible to do with just stock Honda internals alone. If you have an Automatic, you're basically shit out of luck unless you get a transmission swap. The Automatic tranny on the d15b7 is about as half as fast as the manual.. No doubt you could Make the automatic fast though, you just have to have the right parts and alot more money to do it.
I have a D16Y8... so my questions are... where does the A6 pistons come from, like from which honda cars, and is that a direct fit into my engine or do i need to get the block fitted to accept A6? and why is the A6 piston more special then the one i currently have. what is the one i have anyways in my 2K EX?
