Title: Z1 Head...Piece of EPA Shit?
Post by: El Beefo on October 21, 2009, 11:37:53 PM

So trying to figure out if this fucking head is worth keeping? D15Z1 VX VTEC-E. If i remember right they flow like ass and have the smallest combustion chamber. And what the fuck is the deal w/ the timing plates? I know its not performance head and built for MPGs but I also thought Cam and the head casting was the same as the Z6? Chime in...

Not sure if Z1 heads had them, but Y5s sure do.

Cool build, but that guy better be careful what he posts on the interwebs.  Using the research equipment at Weisach? Porsche is hardcore about industrial espionage, and I guarantee they dont know he's using their equipment on his on project, then posting it up on the net.

A scuff and buff port on the head on the worst vtec head in production. No thanks. Get a d16z6 head and be happy.
