Now i know

 

Do you knowe enything more aboaut the engine?

Thanks enyway!!

 

ive never heard of a d15z6 before.

 

it's probably for europe, so...
84 Kw/115 HP, SRS air bag(x2), AC, needs a lot of new stuff.
Enything in mind?

 

that's the right thread for me

i got a 96 german civic EK3 d15z6 sohc vtec, 115 hp 1,5 litres.

the engine was built to save fuel and it does,
but had a low vmax (about 180 km/h) the 5th gear has a very long transmission to save fuel

the vtec closes one intake valva at low revs so that the engine works with 12 valves, when this option is on it is shwon by a green light in the dashboard sayin "econo" on it

at high revs the engine works with all 16 valves

the motor is great (after some moddings) and saves lot of fuel when u drive it in the econo mode

if anyone needs further info, drop a pm

Thanks! I fell like I know much more now!
Love this car, and I dont need that much speed. Roads around my town are more for S.U.V. then for the car like mine. What did you meen by "need some modification"? On engine??

 

i couldn't stand the slow vmax so i had the 5th gears transmission shortened,
then i built in a 4-2-1 header with kat from a esi del sol,

(the ek3 cat is horrible it's like the US ej6 coupes were the cat is one piece with the exhaust header)

now the civic runs really good i have a vmax about 215 now and everything is cool

 

Well, I will work on something like that!
Hard to find something like that here thou, but i'll try!

By the way, this is my 5th Honda!!
3 Civics, 1 Prelude then Civic again!!!

 

so the engine is similar to the d15z1 here?

 

Ooooh.. sounds nifty.

d15z6....

: Looks at MShue : Maybe we should just start collecting SOHC motors....

First dibs on this guys. HOW MUCH SHIPPED TO GA!?

 

i just bought a second d15z6 engine out off ebay yesterday, pricing was around 300 euros quite cheap, cause the engine is very rare here also..

 

someone told me that d15z6 was a minime. im looking for a d16 or b series motor. pm me if you have one

It would be close to what you call a minime, but it is a stock Honda motor from Europe. There is also the DOHC D16Z5, which always confused me when people would talk about the two.
