What head is it? D16Z6, D16Y8, D16Y7, etc.
What year is the car? Has anything custom been done to the engine harness wiring, such as OBD conversions?

its a d16z6 head on a d15b7 block. with the d16 orignal ECU. is it better to use the throttle body from a d16z6 motor instead of the 15b7 motor? which is better or are they the same? i have the wiring harness for the d16z6 motor. 4-2-1 exhaust header and after market intake manifold. AEM short ram air intake.

Alright, you use the ECU you already have (P28, original D16Z6 ECU). The only thing really any better is a chipped P28 ECU from Phearable with a custom basemap (or you could get a full tune but that's not worth the money on a stock setup).

D16Z6 and D15B7 throttle bodies are the same. However, the D16Z6 intake manifold is better than the D15B7 intake manifold. If you don't have the D16Z6 intake manifold and are looking for an inexpensive upgrade, I would get a used D16Z6 intake manifold, clean it out with throttle body cleaner, and get it ported and polished, and then swap it onto your car.
