vitara builds do work well with d16's and the jdm d15b vtec (because it uses d16 rods).
here is a 600+ hp vitara build:

Boosted D15b7 = :cry:

The aftermarket is not there for the D15b7. I may not be up to date on what's out there, but I didn't think those internals were available for the D15b7 :?

Not saying it can't be done though... everyone thinks you need to have vtec to bother building a turbo D setup. Not at all! There used to be a boosted D16y7 running around NE OH making almost 400whp. It was a stock looking sedan too 8) :zzz: :twisted:

It's more that the aftermarket is there for the D series which have vtec.

it will work but not up to 250 hp. youll end up snaping a rod or somthing. even if the motor was fresh with all oem internals with boost your not going to hit 250hp.

- Fri Jul 17, 2009 2:53 am #131002 why don't you just build a motor? your just gonna waste time swaping when it blows. by a block and head. get the shit you wanna put in and take to a shop and have em do the head up and the block and the you will have a nice motor. find a turbo and a ecu tune and you will have a nice motor tha will last for a while. :thumb:

you'll be better off building your z6 with teh vitaras.
i'm only pointing this out because the word 'reliable' was used in the title of this post

well i want to i just say ill boost it until it blows because running d15s go really cheap around here. anyway it seems like i would be better going with a d16z6 or y8 because of the aftermarket support

- Mon Jul 20, 2009 6:50 pm #131738 i just built my z6 with vitaras and FJ custom length I-Beam rods, i would look at FJdistributors...they have custom rods for both the d16 and d15, handle up to 500+whp

i'm going to be boosting up to what my "stage 1" clutch can handle ... just get a good tune and don't push more than ~220whp on stock d rods. boost spike/detonation of any sort and your done
