bluebyu Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Alright, I'm in need of a daily driver the b series is killing me. I looked through my motors and parts and had an idea to build my d15z1 bottom end with a d16y5 head and I was wondering what timing belt I will need if anyone has ever done this. The y5 cam gear has been swapped to a z6 cam gear. I have a few new z6 timing belts. Will it work or will I have to change something else out? I would try it and check, but everything is dissasembled and I have to buy a water pump. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 if you have a z1, just put it back together the way it should be and get 50-60mpg all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeryon Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 In that case you are beyond my mechanical capacity. I could put put back together a stock arrangement but haven't a clue where to begin with a hybrid setup. For the effort involved maybe you should buy someones pulled d15b7. I am sure you could nab a full dropout for $100 or so in running condition. Mine gets 35-40mpg with I/H/E and I flog it all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
