Hey guys, just wondering which would be better straight off the bat. Hence, which would be faster in general by just throwing it in an ef-9? I currently have a d16a6 that's lasted way past its time and is going to be built, but for the mean while, i still need a running car. =P. So any suggestions, pro's or con's would be helpful. Thanks guys!

 

well thats all depends on what your goals are?DD i would go with the sohc zc but thats me,basically its a d16a6 with a hotter cam.

 

i would go with the DOHC ZC - the most hp with the least hassle for the engines you listed

 

Well as I said earlier I'm looking for which is best by just throwing it in my car. No future plans behind. Just right off the bat.

A future plan that I have sitting around is my custom turbo kit waiting for an engine =P. Which would you guys say is more reliable? Dohc or Sohc?

Thanks for the suggestion guys.

The DOHC ZC would directly bolt on to everything correct? Including my harnesses? Sorry for the noob question.

 

Two wires to the cam angle sensor and thats it!

 

yump bolts right in...

go d15b/d16z6...more benifits with running obd-1

Is it possible to have a b16 2nd gen head hybrid with a dohc zc long block? Lol. Just curious.

 

I'd mini -me the a6.

 

Save your money for a B16 ive had this SOHC zc for about a week now havent really been romping on it too much been trying to break it in alil. Today though I reved it up to 6 grand on the first 3 gears and didnt even ream on it to much in 4th at about 3500 or so i was going over 90 still had lots of pedal room so I dunno its ok but still not a VTEC...120hp its only gonna be but so fast stock(well exhaust and intake:p) and your only getting 9 more hp(+200$) with the DOHC ZC I dunno really know the SOHC vtec specs id imagine their not that much better then either of those either im not sure though. For a 120 hp poor boy swap I guess it gets up pretty good and killer gas mileage naturally, but if your looking for a strong starting block and an engine built for some high reving action(you know you cant stay outta that pedal sometimes dont you yea i see you there ) go with the B series and if money is really not an issue for you go with a K...its really all on how many bills you wanna throw down is what it comes down to
