No you can't put only rod and pistons. D15 rod bearings are 45mm, d14 ones are 42mm. But you can put the D15 crankshaft inside d14 block (main bearings are the same) and than pistons and rods and you have 1.5l engine. D16Z6 camshaft it's better on VTEC compered to Y8. Y8 have stronger lower prifile but on vtec it starts to die afte 7500rpm. Y8 head have better lower and mid range because of many reasons compered to D16Z6 and it allows you to run more compression and ignition advance without pinging. D16Z6 head have better high end flow and for top end power it's way better but you lack everything bellow 5000rpm. So you combine best of both worlds basically.
Stock weight only removed spare tyre and jack. With full VTI interior which is heavier than stock ek3 around 10kg more. The car is with AC, power steering and the heaviest crankshaft pulley with harmonic balancer 4kg.
@@mz9080 thanks it's one of the best mini me setups for everyday drive so far (i had a few) with lots of low and middle range power and very good top end if you don't go over 8000 above that this head sucks :)
Quick car
Do you know if I can put the crank, rod's and pistons from a D15z6 in the d14a4 block?
And why use the z6 crank in the y8 head

What is the weight of the car? and is it full interior or?

@@Georgi_Chakov great build thanks for replying
