Want to get the peppiest d motor from the factory and also since I'm already converted to obd1. Not thinking about the z6/y8 motors caus of there high mileage and don't want to rebuild. Also not looking to be the fastest, just some power to get through traffic and occasional runs.

 

I would recommend Y8 v-tec but what's the problem with one? 150k on a honda is just getting started on the motor. Personally I had a y8 v-tec and now I have DOHC ZC. Both have awesome power. I wanted to move away from v-tec so I now have a the ZC. It's all in what you're looking for, like is it gonna just be your DD, are DD and some track....are you interested in v-tec? do you just want it all N/A or do you want some small boost?

 

I will be shooting a 55 shot since I got a bottle and I have bolt ons with act clutch 7lb flywheel that flywheel really helps tho but just want more top end. Vtec don't matter like I said a d15b vtec or dohc zc. I here those d15b's r just as quick as a y8. Its a dd.

 

Well if those are the two you really want to choose from then the question would be if you really want v-tec or not. My ZC seems to be just as quick at my friends B18a1. All I have done is a intake with a 7 pound flywheel and my friend has intake and exhaust. Given his gears are shorter than mine so he came rip from off the line but the power is almost identical. Personally I like my ZC compared to the Y8 I had.....I do miss v-tec sometimes but I feel that my ZC has more torque but the down fall is I think it's about 4k rpm's until you really see all of the 130 hp. But my final build is gonna be for low boost so I don't feel like sacrificing v-tec was in vain.

 

Yea vtec was fun I've had my share bseries but sticking to D's cause the price. Ill probably end up going with the dohc zc.

 

Yeah I feel the same way about the price too man.

 

i got a d15b vtec thing is running strong after 2 years of pretty much beatdowns and daily 3,500 or 4k rmps on the fwy right now its on a si tranny with a stock flywheel and stage 1 clutch with a sk2 manifold aem sri and neuspeed headers with 2 ich piping no cat and a apexi vafc2 when i was running it a bit rich on the higher rpms its was magical this lil sohc pulled so hard and somehow i took out my friends b16 on a eg????

 

That's crazy! See those lil d15b's r miracle swaps. That's y I wanna stay d-series.

 

That's what I say this lil motor is so much fun I was like forsure my friend was gonna beat me but I just kept pulling on him lol ……other wins I have is vs a old m3 and a 5 series bmw. But those were on the touge so more of skill than power

 

why not sohc zc?

 

D15b vtech lol

Tonys car wrips

 

I'd get the zc sohc if they have in an obd1 do they?

 

yes, sohc ZC non-VTEC was available in OBD1 - came in 92-95 JDM Integra ZX1

why even consider the SOHC ZC? - the OBD1 DOHC ZC is a much better choice - the stock DOHC ZC is much quicker than any stock SOHC D-series engine, non-VTEC or VTEC, especially when coupled with Si or ZC transmission

 

Had no idea good to know there is sohc zc obd1. And that's also what I'm looking for the quickest stock d to drop in my 91 hatch. I will also be doing the zc trans with si fd. I have an si trans now its ok but I hate that it drops low when shifting to 3rd. I hear the zc trans will take care of that. I haven't seen any dynos of dohc zc's n/a reaching 140whp just around 130s. I've seen d15b's go up to 140s on stock block.

 

Damn I wanna go for a lil ride in this lol. These lil motors go for $450

 

yeah, they do. I have a zc vtec in my 91 ef. Had a d15b vtec in it before. Power wise they are about the same, but I didn't have to downshift as much to get the power out of the zc vtec.

 

I see. A lil more torque.
