I have a D16A8 (JDM ZC DOHC 1.6)

Can I put a D16Z6 or a D16Y8 head on my ZC without any problems? Will it bolt on without any fabrication, and would it work? If so, how well would it work in comparison to the stock ZC head? I know I would need to either get a reprogrammed ECU or a VTEC controller to actually get VTEC to work..

Thanks for the help and info

 

no no no DOHC and SOHC = not the same ****

Thats where I got the information at. Is there any way to turn it into a VTEC or no? If so , what would I need?

 

are you sure you have a d16a8? cause you would be the first i have heard of one in the states...you know that engine was only in europe...maybe you read it wrong and have a d16a6? do you have pics?

 

Yep, I got some pics:

aren't all JDM ZC engines either D16A8/D16A9???

 

does it say D16A8 or ZC?

i'm positive that u have a ZC due to ur valve cover. D16A8 does not have that valve cover only ZC dohc motors do.
don't get me wrong, D16A8 and ZC dohc motors are both the same. spec wise but have different valve cover

 

im pretty sure that they have the same exact vavle cover d16a8/9 and the zc...from what it looks like it says ZC on the timing belt cover but i need a pic of the actual engine code to be sure since you cant assume anything with just a cover since they get changed all so easily...

 

so are the D16A8/A9 JDM and the ZC USDM or what? I don't get it

 

no D16A8/9 are from europe, ZC is from japan d16a1 is from usdm integras...north america never got the zc...

 

nothing on the dohc ZC is really compatible with any other H motors

 

who is talking about H motors?

I have a D16A8, im from australia.
I need to clarify this, as ive been asking myself this all the time.

Is the ZC identical to my motor?
Same specs?

From what ive heard, the ZC has a slightly higher fuel map

Can anyone clarify this?
