well..i just got a 92 Civic HB VX and its got a D15Z1 vtec..i looked up the specs on the motor..and i jsut about wanted to die..its only got 90 HP..lol bo i added the intake from my 89 CRX si (D16A6)..and it helped a lil more..but its still not enough for me. my Q is, is it worth it to Build on the Z1 and turbo it does ne1 know of any1 whos built on this motor b4..or do i just save my pennies and put a LS in it or put a 1.6lt SOHC vtec and boost it.??

dicuss..

Z1 is not worth doint anything to it,
maybe you can swab for a Z6 head or whole but still you wont get much.
Z1 is for gas mileage only

Loki12

so i can swap a Z6 head on that motor?..hmm..ok i just talked to a friend next door and he said i could swap a 98 civc EX Intake Manafold onto the car and it would help TONS..true or na...

either drop in a d16z6 or d16y8 or just swap for that LS you want

Loki12

which is better to build and turbo..Z6 or Y8...i'm lookin for high HP #'s here..300+

Loki12

and BTW if any1 knows..this or not..BUT will my KYB shocks and Tien Springs from my 89 CRX si for on my 92 Civic VX? and as so for the short shifter tower bars and sway bars etc etc...

you can't put a vtec head from an si 1.6L on the z1 block cause the pistons will hit the valves.. get a dx block d15b7 and get a vtec head from an si.. do the mini-me vtec conversion.. an then turbo that.. but for them mean time keep saving your money with the z1 in the car.. and build your turbo mini-me vtec and have some fun.. put all that in the car in about a day.. vtec and turbo.. i like it.. enjoy!

Depending on how high over 300 you want to go, i'd say some forged internals would be in order. That way you have more room to grow that just an all stock longblock. If you just want to break 300, then it's some headstuds and a great tune. TurboD16 has some good 300+ dynos.
Nice sig

you can turbo the motor you have in it now. get a used greddy kit for 1000 bucks

i was told (on another board (dallasimports.net)) that it would be a waste of $$ and i tend to agree..but ah well..

Loki12

and BTW if any1 knows....BUT will my KYB shocks and Tien Springs from my 89 CRX si fit on my 92 Civic VX? and as so for the short shifter, tower bars and sway bars etc etc

LS swap, then turbo is the best way!

I mean you can do it with a B or K series but you'll be running high risk of blowing motor unless you put tons of cash into rebuilding the engine itself.
