what model of honda does the d16z come stock in?

[ryanman]

Well my buddy in TX had a 99 EX Civic and it had one stock.

[exciv2000]

99 EX should have a D16Y8, just like the 2000's like mine.

[ryanman]

Hmm, maybe it is a Y but he blew it up with n2o then ordered a replacment and the new one was a Z. Whats the difference in the 2?

d16z6 I believe is the SOHC VTEC motor found in 92-95 Civic EX's and civic Si's, oh yeah and Del Sol Si's as well
d16y8 is found in 96-00 Civic EX's

Oh and the difference is that the y8 makes 2 more hp then the z6.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

The differences between z6 and y8 are cam and flow differences. The z6 ports are symetrical which means better flow. The y8 cams are more agressive giving you more HP. They both have different shaped combustion chambers and different shape and length of the intake port dividers.

The y8 ports result in a better air/fuel mix which results in better bottom end torque. The z6 starts to shine in higher RPM's. The y8's combustion chambers increase compression and help reduce detonation.

D16Z6 1.6L SOHC VTEC 92-95 Civic EX/Si 125hp
D16Y8 1.6L SOHC VTEC 96+ Civic EX 127hp

*edit: wow this topic is old
