The D15z1 is optimized for fuel economy, not HP but running a small turbo should be fine.

I've heard of it being done. Don't remember what kind of results the guy got. But hey a little more zip and great fuel economy. If you aren't building a race car it sounds like a win win situation.

ive been told not to by honda mechanics they say the valves will blow out the z1 has a weak head and tiny valves but you could swap a z6 head onto it and it would be fine

You could always clay the block to be sure.
