i have some parts laying around at home and just wanted to put it together to boost it. never done it before... which d-series block is best for boost?

go with the d15 but most ppl would say d16
which ever one you decide to sleeve

why, most jdm engines have higher compression. other then the pistons, d16 blocks are pretty much the same. the y7 has the dip stick on the side witch is out of the way of the turboOriginally Posted by Black4DrEK
, and the y8 has known oil pump issues
, any of these would be fine- d16a6, d16z6,16y7 or either one of the sohc zc's

d16a6 or z6...im running the y8 with no problems though and im at around 360whp
I do rb20 and rb25 wiring into s13 and s14's 300.00 shipped 24hr turn around turn ket start guaranteed! PM me for more details!
Really any of them theirs really not a big difference between the D16's, But for my vote I'd say the Y8, Newer=less miles, better tranys, Cheap, Vtec, Good intake manifolds, over 200hp easily......

id say d16z6
thats what ive been runnin and i havent had one prob.
OBAMA..... *IS*
One. Big. Ass. Mistake. America.
ahhh you will think im nuts but a d15z1 E vtec is a good choice as far as the block. when the head is off look down in the coolant walls and its like this, the bottom of the inside of the water jackets are only half way from the top of cylinder compared to the others being at the very bottom and it slants to the back on the intake side so it more reinforced on the thrust side od the block and has pretty thick sleeves and a fully main cap girdle! also the d15z1 pistons r low compression when used with other vtec heads cause they have a huge dish in them. the d16 cranks and rods with these pistons should all interchange as well because the blocks are tough,im telling you but the heads for the d15z1 are the weakpoint with little economy flow ports hince E-VTEC!
LET ME GUESS... YOU MISSED A GEAR!
