D16 to a D15
#5
The block isn't the same...
ones a 1.6L and the other's a 1.5L.
Anyway, do this:
Take the D16Y8 head, stick it on the D15B7 block (with a new D16Y8 head gasket, and new head bolts). Get an OBD2a-OBD1 ECU conversion wire harness (click me), and a P28 ECU (click me for an example) (they are transmission specific. manual and auto are different ECUs). Use your current transmission.
After the procedure there may be some sensors that don't have anywhere to plug in, such as the knock sensor (D15B7 block doesn't have a place for a knock sensor), but since you're converting to OBD1 you'll be fine because the OBD1 ECU won't know the difference. Simply secure the extra sensor to something with a zip tie.
By putting the D16Y8 head on the D15B7 block, you aren't sacrificing power like you would be if you swapped the D16Y8 completely to a D15B7. This is also referred to as a "mini-me" swap.

a mini-me is simply a non-VTEC block with a VTEC head
furthermore, what would be the point of a Z6 block/Y8 head? D16Z6's have VTEC originally.
