Re: which is better? D16z6 or D15b?

USDM D15 is 107HP. JDM D15B is a VTEC motor with 130 hp

You can always tell the difference between USDM and JDM motors because all USDM motors have a number at the end of the engine code, JDM motors do not. ex. D15B7 = USDM; D15B = JDM

Re: which is better? D16z6 or D15b?

d15b vtec is stronger due to higher compression but it lacks a little bit of torque. let me tell u a true story in sacramento,ca. my firend has a b16a2 with intake header exahust in his 92 hatch, this other guy had a d15b he smoked my friends car on second gear no bull shit. this guy open his hood it says d15b

Re: which is better? D16z6 or D15b?

1.6L DOHC non-VTEC about 130 hp just like the D15B, not sure about torque figures on this motor either.

BTW: Please don't bring back old threads.

sure?

My D16ZC is a SOHC Vtec. It looks just like the D16Z6? I got the motor and swaped it into my 90 hatch and it runs strong but I cant find any numbers on this motor and alot of people have not heard of it. I was told by someone that it was a DelSol motor and i think I remember when picking it up that he said it had been removed from a RHD DelSol?

Re: which is better? D16z6 or D15b?

d16zc is probably the only single cam motor that can beat the d15b in my opinion...i have a d15b and my friend has a zc and he wins all the time...the d15 is a great motor vtec comes in strong, and when you beat people and they ask what you have, tell them a 1.5 (its always funny to see their expressions)

D16zc

My motor is not the DOHC ZC it is the D16ZC SOHC Vtec. I dont know any of the spec's on it but is sure does haul ass. Ive beaten alot of cars and have shocked them when ive told them its a SOHC. I also currently have a turbo sitting in my living room awaiting its install.

Re: which is better? D16z6 or D15b?

You have the D16Z6 not ZC. I believe the ZC motors never came with a VTEC head.

not true...two of my friends sohc vtec motor if u look at the engine code says zc(i can get the code number if u want)and on the head has vtec...its a very rare motor...but it is a single cam vtec motor, we've searched for it countless times on the net and came up with nothing for it...its almost like a ghost motor, usually only found at places that import motors directly from japan

Ghost Motor

Yeah I figured there had to be someone out there that has heard of this motor. I was told the same when i purchased the motor that it was very rare. The block has only ZC stamped on it and it is vertually the same motor as the D16Z6 but i have no stats on it and would like to see some.
