quick question guys, i posted in the other topics but no responses so here goes, what would you go with zc dohc or mini-me? what will make more hp to start with?

 

Well I have had tons of experince with the sohc vtec. I also have had a zc in my hb and honestly they have similar likings. The mini-me will have vtec and slightly higher compression where the zc feels like it has more bottom end torque. Now I have used forced induction on countless sohc vtec's and have found great succes. I personally say go with a mini-me.

 

The zc in a nice motor for boost, but honestly, you will want that v-tech.

 

I got a d16y8 vtec head for sale 220 shipped. Its off a 2000 ex with 20k miles. This would be perfect for a mini-me.

anyone else got some input on this?

 

i'd say it doesn't matter. whatever you have or is easiest to get

 

that is a good point. are mini-me's high maintanence? ive heard a lot of people complaing about tuning and timing,? thats kinda turning me away from that, and i dont like the idea about gettinga jdm zc motor, they say that they only have 35k miles but ya right hwo knows how much its been abused... man hard choice, someone please make or brake this idea

 

i dont see why people think they have tuning problems.. maybe cuz they are using a msd switch to activate vtec and aren't getting the proper fuel. The a6/z6/y8 blocks are all almost identicle. Just get the y8 head because the z6 wont accept the a6 dizzy. use the a6 dizzy/ecu/intake mani along w/ a V-AFC and you're set. The vafc allows you to adjust for the fuel curve and cure that 'tuning' problem.

 

that is a ------- rip off
