Sounds like a mighty torqueless 1.6 liter SOHC should.

 

[Mook]

its a vtec motor tho...those wouldnt be single cam would they?

 

[Poopshinanigans]

Is that without the manifold on?

 

[Mook]

yea...it was the first fireup to at least make sure the engine was good...no exhaust, no manifold, no axles, just the engine, some wiring, and the ecu

Juding by the spark-plugs being on the front half of the valve cover, and it being a Vtec motor its probably a D16Z6

They came in the 1992-1995 Civic SI's and EX's, and were SOHC/Vtec (Vtec only on the intake side)

When you hear talk about honda motors, 99% of the time a "D-Series" means SOHC, small displacement, typically 1.5 or 1.6 liter

"B-series" means DOHC, most were Vtec 1.6 liter-2.0 liter

"F-series" means typically BIG SOHC (2 liters +)

"H-series" means typically BIG DOHC (2 liters +)

"K-series" means newer engines, all 2 liter or more and twin cam IIRC.

"F-series" means typically BIG SOHC (2 liters +)

not my bastard F20!!!! im dual cam all the way baby! most horsepower per liter of any production NA engine ever!

Thats why I made sure to say "Typically"

You see the F20C powered EG civic?

FWD DOHC F series makes NO sense, Lol.

 

[Stink Star]

actually the single cam F motors are the big thing right now- dime a dozen and the head, although only a single cam, outflows an H22....

and you can toss more boost at an F series than an H series IIRC also?

I was just reading an article on Bisimoto's 9 second NA SOHC F-Series powered Insight today speaking of which.

 

[Stink Star]

ahh yea the insight race car... made of aluminum.... very slippery through the air too....

 

[syP]

surprised you didnt swallow a valve

 

[Stink Star]

surprised you didnt swallow a valve

cracked valves dont happen that fast... it takes awhile to heat up a valve to the point that cold air from lack of a manifold will crack a stem

 

[IDAFC21]

that was fun. it was loud

Youtube search the video "Killing a civic" or something like that.

They beat on a D15 powered hatch over-seas for nearly 15 min with no header until it dies, feeding water into it instead of oil......

shit - im thinkin bout runing the exhaust through the hood now - that sounded evil echoing in the garage - put sean's Z-36 to shame

 

[TURBOC1]

that sounds like a great idea. I think we have everything around both house to do it. The only down side is rain. we can run it out the bumper. ( I know you want to do that)

 

[SRT41320]

eh wtf - it wont be my car anymore soon anyways

 

[TURBOC1]

so then lets do it!

 

[Euro]

I'm assuming Z36=Z28?


And....no way in hell an open exhaust Hondurrrr sounds better than an LS1

 

[Mook]

no, he meant Z36

 

[Mook]

or Z34, whichever

 

[TURBOC1]

no sean has a z-24, its not a z36.

 

[SRT41320]

poor sean - seeing that im donating the car to my punkass nephew in a couple of months (if his grades are good) i think we'll hook up the exhaust the normal way
