Default Z6,ZC,orY8

alright guys i have $600 dollars to spear on my D16Y7 engine and i want Vtec. so whats my best bet a Z6,Y8,or what i really want is an ZC so i can have dohc. im looking to do a minime swap. im not worried about labor since me and my brother can do the swap our selfs and i already obtain and p28ecu. so how much will one of those Head run me and also which one is the best one for my EK hatch.and my which one i mean, which one has the best ratio,hp and all those other good stuff.?

don't bother with the ZC, a) it's OBD0 and b) non vtec so you wouldn't be getting

I'd either go with the Y8 or the Mini Me sway, you get bacisally the same power as the ZC, but you stay OBD2 and get Vtec(not that SOHC Vtec is extreme in anyway)

well its not really about vtec but i just need some more horsepower so i can actually drive with my aircondition on. becasue driving around with a/c on and d16y7 sucks really bad. its so bad i often see people riding there bikes faster than me . so i figure about 20 more horsepower would be good. and i already have intake, headers and a crappy aftermaket exhuast so the only thing left would be a head change.

so yea its not really about vtec its about which one is better and produce more power and which one have the better ratio and all that other crap. i been reading and reading and reading i read the post that Amanda did when she did her minime swap and i read some other that i found on google.

i'd go with the Y8 cause it would be the easiest for you right now, since it is OBD2 and so is your car. so you won't need any conversion harness's of any sort

yeah that makes sence. but whats so special about Dohc that im hearing about and im not talking about the b series im talking about the ZC. but im leaning toward the y8 since it would be a easiers swap since its OBD2.
