Ok here goes... The metal badge cant be seen very good but here they all are?? So what does it look like? MY rex and my speed 6 also!

 

[AWDRACER6]

Oh and the 4th picture, whats that thing im pointing at??

 

[jfrolang]

You have a SOHC ZC non-VTEC, basically a D16A6. You're pointing at the fuel rail end cap/nut.

 

[apekd]

the ZC non vtec has like 5 more hp than a A6 but thats it. throw some P29 pistons in it, and get a P&P and youll be happy

 

[AWDRACER6]

so is it any better of motor?? And can i still do the "mini-me" swap??

 

[Angry]

Yep, you can treat it just like it was a d16a6.

so i am guessing the A6 is VERY slow? Cause my car seems pretty slow to me and its 30hp more then the A6... How do i tell if its VTEC?

No the A6 isn't VERY slow. It was after all equipped into the Si. It has great build potential if you go that route. AS far as most 4 bangers. The stock A6 without a bunch of weight in the car and assuming you can drive it well. Its really a quick bugger. b

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_D_engine#D16A6 According to this it looks like it should have 130hp?? Right? How do i know which one it is? Which head is best for a mini me swap?

Most people here will probably recommend you a Z6 or Y8 head. Its personal preference and what you want out of your build. Goals, etc.

Power : 108 hp (80.5 kW, 110 ps) @ 5600 rpm

 

[AWDRACER6]

hows that??

 

[Angry]

I believe your looking at the dohc ZC. There are MANY versions of jdm motors labeled just ZC.

Quoted from the same page you linked.

There are both SOHC and DOHC ZC engines.

The non-VTEC SOHC ZC is similar to the D15Z4 and D16A6 engine, but with more aggressive cam timing.

 

[AWDRACER6]

so why would anyone swap in that motor? Is it better built for turbo??

No, most often, people probably want to swap a D16A6, or a D16Z6 and they come across a ZC. Its same engine, same price (basically).

Its another option basically.

 

[gothonda]

ppl just put the zc motor in to say LOOK JDM STYLE ha lol

for a complezte sohc zc get the zc head for vtec ;D

 

[AWDRACER6]

i drove a RSX one time and i loved the VTEC. so where can i look for the head????

 

[justinw]

um, the internet maybe.

 

[AWDRACER6]

such a sweetie! Thanks so much for that great help!

 

[fuserchris]

Sorry to revive an old thread but my engine shares the same characteristics of the OP, and I was wondering how I would go about getting a vtec to work with my block and tranny? Do i Just need the vtec solenoid people are talking about or do I need to swap something out still.
