Is the same the only thing change is the gasket in the center because the 1.6 piston is bigger than 1.5 the others parts in the gasket and block are similar at eye...

Both motors are using short block, so both are interchangable. There are a couple of members on the forum running 1.5 OHC bottom end, with Lanos 16V head, and turbo. This combination actually provides excellent starting poing for turbo setup due to 1.5's lower compression ratio, and flat pistons.

Yes, and the intake manifold/exhaust from the 1.6. But get good results???
I want to know whit what type of head provides more hp and torque? sohc or dohc?
And what type of piston is better for running in a 1.5 block???

are we talking about the DOHC head form a 1.6 lanos or from a 1.6 nubira??

not sure about the 1.6 DOHC lanos but the DOHC nubira got different setup as far as the engine mount/PWS pump are concerned so the swap is not attainable even if the head/block match.

i only assumed we are talking 1.6 DOHC nubira as that would be the typical market portfolio for a person asking this question... he would have a 1.5 SOHC lanos and 1.6 DOHC nubira.

No I am talking about 1.5sohc lanos and 1.6 dohc lanos... The only thing who I look from a nubira is the 2.0 dohc
