z6 head swap

[revized_DX]

is it really worth doing? i mean im running a pretty damn stout zc now and got 3 different ecu's i can use depending on situation. for instance, the hf ecu that i got from our "bus driver" (ha ha what up homie!) brings MAD fucking torque! the si well is an si, and the chipped si (chipped for dohc zc) is just a whole different world compared to the regular pm6.
the hf ecu is gonna be used mainly for mountain runs.


would swapping to a z6 and staying obd0 (for now) running a controller, ect. really be worth the trouble to do? i mean at most what am i gonna pick up about 15 hp? have done some research on mini-me's but not too much. i know that yall know whats up so i want to ask for an opinion from you guys before i really commit to going that direction.

let me know what yall think!

thanks in advance!

go obd1, get a dohc zc, and buy my uber rare p29 (ecu that was made for the dohc zc)

Why? So he can be slow still?


Personally I would take what you got and go from their. The money you would of spend on the head swap could be used to get a Bisimoto cam.

Yes. lulz

dont dump ur money into a D. save ur money, jump on the bandwagon, and go B20.

As my patented phrase goes.... B20 vtec's are the new B16's

well my pm6 i have now IS chipped for DOHC ZC! found that out tonight. and i also found out that the zc/si tranny i have is also for a DOHC and in fact, THE AXLES ARE GOOD!!! the right side one just slipped out but i could have swore it broke. we took it apart tonight and everything is good! but put dx tranny in anyhow and possibly just for a little while.

friend that built the motor was saying z6 head just really be a waste of time. my homeboy has a T25 but dont really know that i want to boost it and kinda partial more to supercharger. but im just gonna drive it for now and enjoy it!


b20......well, i would like to do a b series in a shell that i could strip down. got my brothers crx but i dont want a crx like them, just dont want one. really want that 4 door!

so you think cam would be next step?

i would stick with the sohc zc. I'm betting if you put a bizi cam in there it will come alive. it already has a different cam than the stock d16 due to it being a sohc zc. I believe they are a little hotter than the standard d16.

thats what makes the zc, the cam. starting to look at different ones now. friend of mine keeps trying to talk me into turbo but not sure i want to do that.

I don't really know your budget or how far you want to go with your build. With that being said I'm going to give u two build examples, cheap and expensive.

Cheap
-y8 intake manifold
-h22 tb
-bisi stage 1 cam
-thin head gasket
-ebay header
-test pipe
-2.25 exhaust
-apexi fuel controller (for tuning)

Expensive
-bisi header
-upgraded valvetrain
-headwork (atleast a valve job)
-bisi cam (higher stage)
-dohc zc pistons
-skunk2 intake manifold
-larger tb (gotta research sizes for d's)
-2.5in exhaust
-test pipe
-convert to obd1
-chipped ecu and dyno tuned.

just like everyone else's...ha ha...thanks dare! gives me a good shopping list if anything! been looking at uping exhaust. running 2 inch now and dc header and a cat got a z6 mani and looking for iacv. will be starting a for sale thread soon and everything resulting from that is going back into the car even if its a $20 part from p.a.p.
