which one is better d16z6 or d16y8? i know there both vtec but which one would be better down the long run i wanna swap one of them into my ek coupe

 

d16z6 is much better i believe

 

thats what i was gonna go with!

 

does anyone know the hp for both of these?

 

z6 more compression. there was a chart of the y8 z6 difference. cant findi t at the moment

 

wrong, the z6 has 9.2 and the Y8 has 9.6

the pros and cons of both of these motors is the oposite from one another such as the Z6 having a better flowing head but less compression and the Y8 not having a good head flow but higher compression, the y8 intake manifold is better than the Z6.

the Y8 has 127 hp and the Z6 has 125.

really the two are near the same. it doesnt matter which one you choose. both are reliable and can make decent power under the same mods

 

thanks for the info

 

what would be the best tranny for one of these two motors?

 

b16 tranny is the best

 

yeah thats not gonna work buddy

 

96-00 Civic EX tranny

 

 

i concur. and really, a b16 tranny? wow

i would have to say go with the z6. d16y# engines have oiling issues and spin rod bearings

 

WTF?! ok thats going to work.

and as sql_civic said. 96-00 Ex tranny

 

Yeah go with the Y8 tranny.
LOL b16, he's probably being sarcastic.

 

b series trans dont fit, d seriess engines, but i say d16z6, get the 96-00 ex trans stronger shift forks
