d16z6 head on d15z1 block?

ya so i read that if i put a d16z6 head on my vx (d15z1) block id have sumthin like a jdm d15b?? is there any truth to this?cuz the jdm d15b is roughly 130 HP and the us d15z1 (vx) is 92hp,and the us d16z6 is 125 hp,anyways i do have a spare d16z6 head and a p28 ecu and a blown d15z1 head...so would i gain anything by puting the z6 head on the d15z1 block? if so what timing belt do i use? what head gasket do i use? if anyone has done this swap or knows anything about it plz let me kno swappin out a head on a honda is very easy and a timing belt and h-gasket isnt that much money,so if you get more power then the vx id like to do it if possible,would u use a stock head gasket or one of those metal ones? well lemmy kno sum1 plz i only ask cuz this guy says its not possible "ATTEMPT THIS SWAP ON A CIVIC VX, THE PISTONS HAVE TOO LARGE OF A DISH AND THE COMPRESSION WILL END UP BEING TOO LOW"---- http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=554053
would i want low compression seeing how im using a j/r super charger n 3.8 pulley??

FORREAL!! HOW DO I SWITCH IT TO TECH LOL I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THAT HAPPEND SOOOORRRYYY!!!!

it's cool man, a mod will have to move it...

Yes, it would be like a JDM D15B; but not as powerful(due to lower compression and probably different cam).

Use the Z1 timing belt and the Z6 head gasket.

You will end up losing power; with the stock Z1 pistons and the Z6 head, compression is in the upper 7:1...pretty low for anything. Dropping in some D17A2 pistons(PLR) will bring it to around 8.73:1, which is better. If you want higher compression, look for P08 pistons(JDM D15B); itll bring the compression to around 9.4:1.

D16a6 head on a D15z1 block will it work and if so what timing belt do i use?????????????????????????????????????????????

im pretty sure your suppost to use whatever belt is for the head

With the pistons in the z1 engine, the compression will be very low. So low that it will completely negate any power gains from doing any kind of head swap, you will actually lose a lot of power by doing this.

A d15z1 short block and Z6 head will be much too low of compression. Consider using some PMS pistons (GX) if you want all motor or some PLR (d17a2) pistons if you want to run some boost on it. Also, I believe you use the timing belt that matches the block... as the deck heights are different.
