Hey whats up everyone. I recently heard that some vtec motors are better than other. Like hondas were better in some years than others. Ive got a 94 ex with the SOHC vtec motor with 130 hp........ive heard 94 was the best year.....is that so? WHat u think

 

I have the same engine as you do. Its a nice package, but I'm thinking of getting a y8 head which I think is a 96-up D16 head. What we have now is a Z6 with lower compression. If I can find a Y8 head for cheap I'll do that, but a Z6 is fine. Had it for 10K miles now...it's nice.

 

"I recently heard that some vtec motors are better than other."

umm.. yeah.. of course some are better, and with a page long list of differnt engines honda has made, some are better than others. thats not saying that a d16z6 civic cant keep up with a b18c1 civic, cause they can, i beat one by 2 cars (135 hp against 210hp) and i didnt think it was possible before. its just how they are built and tuned that makes em good.

 

nah man u misunderstood the question

i mean are some years different...........like take a civic ex from 92 and compare it with a civic ex from 95. etc and see what makes most power...........im sure there are some differences in the motors.

 

I don't think there is any difference at all from 92-95 civic motors. But I may be wrong.

 

i think what he means is did the engines get better over time as they (they meaning the honda engineers) improve slightly from year to year on one engine

 

the head from a 96-00 is a little better design, but its not a huge overall difference. if you wanted to, you could swap the heads.

 

my bizzle

 

96 ex d16y8 woo go me!!! soon to be b18c1 turbo'd and tuned by rolotec at central florida turbos

 

do u have the $$ for a b18c1 and a turbo? if so i wanna know how u got it cuz id like in on it too
