d16z6..to own or not to own

del soul · 10-10-2004, 09:44 AM

im thinking about swapping a d16z6 into my 95 civic dx. I wanted to go b series but i dont have the cash to replace the tranny and all that. Is the d16z6 a good choice? I know that getting performance mods for it would be easy. How much would this engine cost?

Save your loot for a B series motor, no point in putitng in a D series. I am sure you can find one of those for free dude or at least less then a grand.

From the same town...hmmm the plot thickens. Would answer why he said he had a b16a and then changed it to a d15b vtec...interesting.

yea, he goes to my school, he doesnt have his license cause doesnt have a-b grades. then also he got caught with weed by a bike cop. hes just a compulsive lyer. hopefully me telling ppl will actually make him not lie and say he does and has all this stuff.

I'm not sure if you're asking someone in particular or in general so I'll take a shot at it. The D16y8 is the best d16, and the +2hp proves it. I know I've seen a thread somewhere that had the d16y8 and d16z6 heads side by side comparing the ports and stuff. I'll see if I can find it, I believe it was on turbod16.com

the link ur talking about is on sohchonda.com. its in their pic gallery. both teh y8 and z6 have their pros and cons. one flows better one gets better gas mileage and one has a better combustion chamber. i would personaly go with the z6 bc of the intake ports but that a choice u have to make when building a motor with the choice of these 2 heads. do ur studying and u wont regret it.

You're the shit man, that's exactly what I was talking about. I just spent 20 minutes searching turbod16 and couldn't find it, now I know why.
