both motors use the same helms manual stuff... i mean whenever i see something listed for my z6 head, i usually see a z1 listed too. I dont know if everything is the same, but the head would probobly pass for core.

d15z1 VTEC works on the lean burn principle. basically before "VTEC" kicksin, the engien runs in 12 valve mode, and then "VTEC" is actually just the car running in normal 16 valve mode.

d16z6 actually has a larger VTEC profile for the intake lobes.
