- Mon Feb 18, 2008 3:50 am #42706 don't waste $$ on a throttle body right now, down the road if you are making a lot of power then upgrade the TB.

I think the vx IM is on the small side, but I never compared in person. You could buy a D16z6 IM to go with your D16z6 head. You can find the d16z6 IM's cheap, I've got one for $20.

Bolt ons like intake, header are good and not too expensive. A lighter flywheel will free up a little bit of power.

In the end, a NA d series is never going to make a whole lot of power for the amount of money you put into it.

yeah IM = intake manifold.
I wouldn't waste my time putting a less flowing intake manifold on the del sol si.
while you have a block all apart, you should replace the oil pump (if high mileage) bearings, water pump, timing belt.
no need to upgrade injectors and you won't need a new FPR.
you can buy ARP head studs, they are around $100, if you plan on boosting down the road. If you want to raise compression, then get a thinner HG, just remember you'll need to buy higher octane gas (depending on the compression ratio.
Use your VX harness, not the OBD0 a6 harness.

arp head studs, if not check to see if the a6 bolts are stretch bolts. the 92-95 head bolts are stretch bolts and you're only supposed to use them once.
the dealership would have this info :thumb:
Timing belt too. I think you'll need one from a d16z6.
what are the resistors?

edit: and your vx tranny will work, although they have some long gears for better gas mileage = slower acceleration. a 5 sp from EX or SI would be faster.
