Isn't the D15z6 a vtec-E motor? Also if the D15z6 head has the squared off combustion chambers (as a lot of OBD2 D series motors do) you'll lose a lot of compression by putting the D16z6 head on the D15z6 block because the D16z6 head has the larger round combustion chambers.

Other than that it's your standard mini-me swap plus some high comp pistons. Just be sure to clay the chamber first to be sure everything clears. If you're replacing pistons, you may want to consider a full rebuild if the miles are high. Ohhh it's getting expensive... :D

yeah mate defo
