God your an idiot

Re:Whats everybody favorite single cam honda engine?
its a fact that the a6 head flows more than the z6. the only reason why the z6 has more power is because of more compression. and a slightly better ( not because of vtec ) cam.
example.
d16 w a6 head 9.71:1
on the other hand,
d16 with z6 head will net 10.41:1
it also depends what headgasket you use.
.011 inches in thinckness can make the compression go up to
11.02:1 compression with a y8 head gasket, z6 head and a6 block.
i think ive studied honda d series enough. i mean hell, ive worked on my bros crx allot and yes he would pull on a b16a1 crx.
with the a6 head and block, and zc pistons, and a y8 head gasket we got 12.1 compression.
ive studied up.

Re:Whats everybody favorite single cam honda engine?
also a d16a6 would work great with z6 pistons and a turbo. like less than 9:1 compression.
also get the bisimoto header, 500 bucks well worth it.

Re:Whats everybody favorite single cam honda engine?
Let me explain why you are the HMT punching bag.
"The Y8 manifold is the best by a long shot...and the Z6 head is the best of the d-series heads" Larry Widmer (theoldone) he has a flow bench, so you can call him up and talk to him if you like.
Why? probably because the z6 and y8 cylinder heads use 1mm larger valves than the b2/a6 head. I'm not saying a6 heads are bad, infact I prefer a a6/b2 non-vtec head over a z6/y8. Why? because cam regrinds for fixed profile cams are way cheaper to get done. I can get a 50 dollar grind on a a6 cam and wake it up more than a stock z6. The options for vtec sohc cams are expensive.
You can do all the studying you want and playing around with compresson calculators. I have actually done tons of d-series combinatons throughout the years, and have way more hands on experience than you will ever fathem.
And if you say stock a6 can pull on a stock b16, you are a complete idiot and I will ban you from my website for stupidity.
