Z1 is off of the VX, a motor that generates 30 less HP than the Z6. No VTEC, smaller cam profiles, smaller ports. It would be a downgrade if you got the Z1. Look for a Z6 or Y8 head.

I think vx head would shoot the compression way up. The ports are really small and I don't think that you could port it out anywhere near the z6 size. It got roller rockers (might be good for some high revs, and a big cam if they make a cam for a vx). I nevver really looked into how vx vtec operates, it might be the same as z6.

I would get a z6 head but I can get a cheaper complete z1 head for $50. If I could get a complete z6 head for $50, it'd be all over that.

you are going to spend additional at least $200-300 (headgasket, headbolts, maybe new belt, waterpump and new ecu) when swapping heads so you might as well get a z6 head.
Buy my friends jdm d15b head for $200

Re: difference between z1 and z6 head? (ABK)
thanks for the offer. I can find z6 complete longblocks locally for $250-$350. I'd rather just buy a longblock then spend $200 on a head.
I can get honda OEM stuff from a friend who works at honda for wholesale so I'm not too worried about the small stuff.
so nobody knows if there's a diff between the z1 and z6 head?

Huge diffrenence. 2 times bigger IM ports on z6 bigger IM, true vtec (I don't know how vx vtec works). distributors are the same.
oh yeah if you ever do a head swap keep in mind that cx injectors flow something like 180 when vx and z6 flow 240cc.

i c. yeah, I'm trying to get a complete head with manifold, TB, injectors, fuel rail, etc. there's no way I'd use CX injectors or CX anything on the z6 head.

Re: difference between z1 and z6 head? (ABK)
the z6 head is way better than the z1. i would know personally. i bought a cx hatch with a vx (d15z1) motor. slow....
put a z6 head and p28 on it and it feels like a whole different car.
i dont think the z1 head is gonna be much of an upgrade if any at all to the non-vtec head you have on it already.
and im finding z6 and y8 heads easily for 30- 40 bucks. you just gotta look for em.

Re: difference between z1 and z6 head?
umm aside from internals, the z1 is vtec-e the z6 is NOT, the z1 makes 95hp (i believe) and the z6 makes
125...so the main difference i would say is 30hp...which on a honda is noticable lol...for the internals i'm
not too sure on the difference except for the cam bein more aggressive in the z6 and vtec hittin later
@ 4,800 vs the vtec-e on the z1 @ i believe 2,800 <idk for sure on tht...
