Need help on Engine infomation+Tuning

A&Q about 350Z
Q:

Hello again,

There is no kick with the VTEC-E vtec's.
it's not like the B16A's

The top speed should be around 190-200Kmh.

As for pics of 5-door models.

Here's one of my civic.



A:

Well, 80Mph is the top!

I really do hope this isn't how ist should be. This is with an induction kit & cold feed!!!

I just feel like ripping it out... cuz it's.....wank!
If anyone has any more info on the D15Z6 (Tuning etc) plz contact me.
A:

just wondering...WTF are rear foglights and why would u need them? for backing up maybe? lmao just bothering me so i had to ask
A:

Rear fogs are for the drivers behind you, to help them see you better, duh.
A:

1. dont treat someone like an idiot(especially me) just cause they ask about something they never heard of or dont know............

2. rear fog lights are stupid, which is probably the reason u know about them...........

3. 'duh'....c'mon, even a jackhole such as yourself can come up with a crack a little better than that. IMO, think it through next time you belive u have a complete insult, uhmm k?
A:

Maybe you should "think it through" next time before asking a question on the same intelligence scale as "what's a toothpick for?" As for rear fog being stupid, wow, you're not a bright one are you? Have you ever driven in Europeon fog? NO? Well maybe you should have a clue before you label something stupid. Do the world a favor and don't breed, please.
A:

first of all, im in the united states and am not planning on going to any european country therefore i will never know what the fog is like over there and will never need to have rear fog lights so yes....they are really stupid IMO. Second of all, i did already know what the rear fogs were used for, just didnt know of anyone or anywhere who would need them which is why i said they were stupid cause i thought they were just a waste of money. Third, u have no idea who i am or what i can do so keep your mouth shut and i didnt add to this topic in the forum so that i could start a war between people, i was just asking a question. Leave it at that and go on with the other topics.
A:

Your opinion equals shit

Ok, since you can't seem to remember something that is on the same page, here let me refresh your second grade memory...
I don't think I need to say anything else about that one.
Oh, what is that, a E-threat, ooooo I am shaking from the E-thugs terrorizing words oooooo
You're right, you didn't add to this topic, and you got all butthurt when someone pointed out the obvious to you.
A:

lets get this str8 ok...i never threatened u at all, all i said was keep your mouth shut. Never did i say i was going to do anything to u if u didnt, just stated that u should shut up. Also, if u really paid attn to the first reply i wrote for this topic, u would see that i said "for backing up maybe? lmao" which meant i knew what they were for just thought it was stupid and i was making fun of them by saying they were for backing up, duh lol. your so childish and really should grow up, the subject is over and theres no point in still arguing about it, and since it seems that u cant leave things alone anyways, its a lose/lose situation and its getting really boring. we got way off what the topic was and i dont have time to play these stupid games anymore.........just grow up and learn to respect people and not treat them like u are above them cause you aren't you probably have no idea about anything and dont even drive a honda, u just want others to think you're cool or whatever so u act liuke u have a decent vehicle(which is probably either a bicycle or your mothers car). let me guess, u have a honda thats all hooked up and has tons of HP and will beat anything it races against, right? lol what a waste, i wish people like u would come see me so i can show u what it looks like to blow the doors off of your car
A:

I don't shut up because some dumbass told me to, so eat a cock.

Don't try to play off your stupidity, it looks pityful.
So why do you keep responding?
So go away, and stop retorting to my rants
I could careless about you, and don't see you as deserving of respect. I have forgotten more about the Hondas I have been driving since 85 than you'll ever know. No, I have my own car, I have built it form the ground up, most people here think I'm a dick (unfortunately for gimps like you, one that is most always right), I could careless, if I see stupid shit, I call it, and will make you look stupid for it.
Why now that you mention it...haha no, it doesn't beat everything but it is a nice daily driver, yes it's a Honda, and yes it's hooked up.
Wow, that's funny, you try to play like I don't have a car, then expect people, or maybe just me, to believe that you have some race machine, wow, you really are a fucking idiot, sorry your life sucks, hahahahahahahahhahahahaha peace bitch.
A:

OK both of you.....

Keep the peace!

it seems that you both misunderstood eatchother.

Something about fog
I'm from belgium=> sometimes lots of fog)+(my poor english typing
)

When we have fog here it can be really dense.
I mean that it's so dens that you sometimes can't even see what's in front of you within 10-15 meters.

So I think it's not that ad to have foglights.

also our roads arent in that good shape.
which makes it feel you as driver feel a bit safer when you can see the car in front of you.
Just last week i was going to work(5am) and it was verry foggy
thankfully the car in front of me used his foglights because that wa the ONLY thing i could see(apart from brakinglight because they are the same "stenght in light")

The only thing I hate about them is that sometimes people forget to put them off.
and on older cars they are sometimes placed in te rearlightclusters.
And if you combi that fact with the lack off a third brakinglight it seems that that person is using the brakes all the time.
that could be a bit confusing.

But hey: If you'r country hasn't got fog=> they don't have to be on your car.
They mostly look odd on them.
Example=> Honda civic CRX del sol: foglight is placed leftside next to the license plate.

Hopefully you all understand this
and keep driving honda

He's right. There's a 1.5L 3-stage SOHC VTEC. But that's is a Asia Version with a D15B-JDM but actually a D15Z7 engine. The econo mode is real and allows u to swith between using 12 or 16 Valves. That already is 2 stage itself. In addition, there is the wild cam VTEC mode with more agressive cam lobes + air/fuel mapping after crossing abt 5500rpm.

I live in Singapore and I'm driving one. We can it EK3 VTi here.
A:

Ditto. Those engines do exist. Another piece of eye stimulating material :



And i believe not all regions of the world would have received that model or engine. For instance, i came across a JDM Del Sol (i am located in Australia) that had a automatic retracting targa top that unlatched itself, at the same time the bootlid would raise, the targa would slide under the bootlid, then the bootlid lower back into normal position. All at the touch of a button.

I guess i am saying this as, i've been a follower of Honda for just over a decade. And i only found out about that auto retracting Del Sol targa roof now. (btw, it did not have a b16a engine standard under the bonnet)

The same way, some of you are finding out about the 3-stage Vtec.


Now i know this is practically going against the question....obviously, these are very clean(emission wise) & economical engines. And maybe some of the reasons performance parts are hard to find, or finding information is scarce, is because it's potential for more horsepower would defeat the design of the engine. You would probably also sacrifice the economy that it already achieves. So not many people, if any, have thought of using that engine as a tuning base. Especially when the higer powered b16a is there for the taking.

Hence the different types of Vtec.

Sorry for not answering your question. But I'd tell you to save the money anyhow.

My two cents....
A:

Del Sols had B16A3's in them, along with D16Z6's and D15B7's, aside from your local releases, they did come with them.
A:

yeah i used to have one with the d16z6 in it.. not a bad running little motor. its a good budget turbo motor too. i hear that the d16s can handle near as much as and LS due to steel crank and stronger rods and stuff i guess
