what benifits

[Kasper]

what is the benifit of takeing out a D16z6 motor and putting in a D16y7?? i know its supposed to be a jspec motor but with everything i looked at so far they have less horse power, less torque then the z6 motor. so what is the reason for doing so? i only ask this because i might be buying a del sol and he took out the z6 motor and put the y7 motor in it.. input needed please.

[Starrfire]

My only guess would be availibility. The y7's are non vtec and less powerful, but in single cam land it really doesn't matter anyways. The y7's aren't j spec, they come out of 6th gen cx/dx/lx models.

i wouldnt call him a moron. there are a # of reasons y he did that. could have blew the z6 and said shit i have to get to work monday. this y7 will work just fine. just for an example.

This is true. Or perhaps he wanted better fuel economy, I would just ask WHY myself!!!
