im going to have to get a new motor but i dont know which one its going to be a d series i wanted to go with a jdm d15b vtec but then i heard that the d16z6 is quicker so what do all think or is which other d series engine is quick to anybody that has expirience with these engines

 

Ide have to say D16A6 since thats what i was running and it was strong with a JRSC

 

single cam zc trust me..

 

I voted DOHC ZC because i am building one right now. You probably shouldn't get one though.

 

d16a6 with the correct si tranny...my std is getting my old crx si setup...should be quick since its about the same weight as the crx si

 

so that means a d16a6 could take out a z6 and d15b vtec with bolt ons

 

i run a d15b and love it bout to boost

Between all of those motor you are splitting hairs with power figures. I would get whatever you can go down to the parts store and get parts.

 

SOHC ZC is what I had. Pulled very hard for a single cam. The VTEC in SOHC is only for intake valves so don't expect anything fancy. Get a D16A6 or SOHC ZC and a delta cam and call it quits on the D series.

 

Depends on what you're trying to accomplish. I'd stick with something cheap if you want nitrous. Go for an A6 or Z6 if you're boosting. and And SOHC ZC is the SAME as an A6 and the DOHC ZC isn't worth the money. And if you want Vtec go with a Z6 or Y8.
that's my take.

I voted Z6.

 

damn there still a few people that like the d16a6 by looking at the polls i was expecting a sohc vtec to be on top but instead the one with less power sits on top

They fear the unknown

 

id go with the dohc zc and boost it

 

tomorrow im going to go get another motor i called junkyards and i found 1 jdm d15b vtec and like 2 d16a6 and a couple of z6's what do u all think i should pick i just want the to put some bolt ons like cai/h/exhaust what do u all think i shoud get i dont plan on turbo or anything big like that which one would pull hard with just bolt-ons to anybody that has expirience diffrent d series motors

 

you won't find a d15b in a junkyard

 

actually yeah i did find one he even told me this one has more power than the one your looking for (d16a6) he even said this is an imported japannese engine and it did look like a jdm d15b vtec the cover was blue and said vtec and it even had a vtec solenoid and then i asked what happen to the car that had it and he said it was rear ended bad it was in a 91 civic hatchback the stamp even said d15b then he said u wont find another engine like this around here so what do u all think he wanted 450 could it be a jdm d15b

 

i'd go with whatever you can get in good shape at a good price. Between those engines you're looking at about 10-15whp difference which could be lost if you get a motor in crappy condition.

I voted for z6 just because i like obd1 for tuning options but it really doesn't matter.

 

they're all about the same in my opinion.


mix and match oem parts to make a better engine.

sohc zc, dohc zc pistons, d16y8 intake manifold. sweet.
