Everybody Get A Word In!!!

[talonpunk831]

Ok i just bought a 88DX crx, i did a mpfi swap and the motor blew.... i have a jdm sohc ZC....

i have a few questions....

Should i save up and buy a si tranny or use the Dx tranny?(does it really make much of a diffence?)

My friend said he'll trade me for a dohc ZC, but if i keep the sohc ZC i could put a mini me swap on it......whats better? going dohc, or going sohc v-tec? and what could be the results on a dx tranny.....

EVERYBODY GET A WORD IN!!!

I'm pretty sure you cant swap heads with a "v-tec" motor. The differnce in the dx and si tranny is the differential gearing, and you can tell a differnce, but if your going to be cruising around alot you'll probably want to go with the dx so you get better gas milage.

Ive checked, u could use a ZC bottem end and a y8 head together, i also read that if u do this mini me, get a skunk2 68mm tb and intake manifold, that the motor will produce more HP then a stock b16a(i read from honda tunining)

more power than a b???? not happening with that setup, send me the link I would like to see it!...but i think mr silent thought you meant putting a z6 or y8 head on the dohc zc which you cant but you can on the sohc zc...member a d16a6 is the same as the zc sohc except for maybe lil better air flow an tiny bit of bump on the cam

[TheSilentChamber]

I wouldnt doubt if that setup would make more than a b, if you look at the true numbers and useable power band, b16's arnt that impressive.

a ZC isnt the same as a d16a6, sure the cam is a lil more agressive, but the main diffence is in the bottem end, the ZC has slightly longer rocker arms and domed pistions, whitch with a vtec head = higher comression, i cant find the link at the moment, but its on last months honda tuning magazine(the one with the 4 door Si and honda Fit) go peep it, they dinoed the ZC mini me at 146whp and a b16a at 141whp..

You go talking about bottom end and put longer rocker arms in the sentence???? You sure you know what you are talking about...go to honda-tech.com and search and learn about this build....

opps my bad i think i forgot the word......umm shit...i cant remeber at the moment what there called....hmmm....connecting rods?.....what ever the fuck there called...the thingys that connet the pistons to the crank...i hate weed....

[YZ125rider21]

make it plain and simple and say rods and pistons save some embarassments lol...but like i said show me link that says the rods and pistons are diff, honestly I own a sohc zc right now and ripped apart both and they are literally identical.....

[turtlecrxsi]

You don't even need a vtec head... you're just asking for wiring headaches. If you keep the sohc ZC, put a nice loppy cam in that bitch and maybe some itbs... LOL... J/K minime would work well with that set-up, just remember to use 93 at the pump... Oh yeah, and dx tranny would be fine until you get vtec. You may want the si tranny to stay in vtec when you shift so you don't have to bounce off the rev-limiter all the time to stay in vtec.
