d16z6 valve cover .... silly though, when your VTEC is not a performance feature of your car.

It's for fuel economy. It's not pointless. A d16z6 valve cover says VTEC on it.

pointless? guess again. If you say an HX is pointless, then an EX is pointless as well, because 99% of the parts and specs are the exact SAME.

I'm perfectly aware of what a roller rocker is

It's pointless because this guy is not Bense. I'd be willing to bet he's never changed his oil, let alone built a hybrid motor or hybrid transmission. Mentioning how he could build this rediculously nice sohc turbo build is off topic, and beyond his scope. This is a guy who's wondering what he should get besides intake and exhaust ...

He asked about a valve cover, and as his car sits, his VTEC-E is not a performance feature. So the roller rockers only "kick ***" in getting him good gas milage.

V-tec E is Economy V-Tec. It's like anti-V-tec. It dosent give you any added power. If saves you gas milage. It's nothing to brag about

It won't fit. I'm going to have to get my site back up with vtec-e info on it. But for now

rockers won't line up. in the sohchond thread I linked I talk about doing this. basically using the intake rockers, shaving some excess metal off and mechanically locking them into place.

then place them on a H-U-G-E aftermarket z6 cam and you got VTEC KILLAZ y0!
