when my rpms on 7 my engine start to choke like its on 9
what could be the prob
 
Huh? I'm assuming you are talking thousands in regards to the RPM's. The D16Z6 motor redlines at 7, so that is probably why it falls off--you aren't creating any more power. If you are bringing your car to 9k, start looking for a new car now.
 
or start looking for a new engine, if you've been revving to 9000 with a z6, because it wont last long with that abuse. There's a difference between hard driving and engine abuse/neglect.


fuel pressure or dirty injectors could be at fault, but regardless the z6 engines top out their powerband around there s
 
new engine maybe?
well i making 0-60 in less than 8 sec with little addons none boosts
i got an ZC its the same redline as d16z6 i guess
 
is it jerking or anything?

the powerband of most engines tend to dropoff after they make peak power.. Some more steep than others. Look at some dyno charts of STOCK engines.

that's why its called PEAK power. its not getting more powerful as you rev it higher, that's dependent on your cams and compression.

The higher you rev an engine the more chance there is for the engine to mangle itself by having the pistons slam into the valves. The valvetrain gets overworked by unnecessary rpm and rpm that is higher than it was meant to handle. Hondas may be durable but at the same time they are as fragile as the next automakers engine.
 
one more thing

i assumed your engine was dohc.

If is a sohc vtec engine, make sure your vtec switch is actuating, that may account for some droppoff.

their redline is like 7200rpm
 
D16Z6:
125hp@6600
106tq@5200

The car stops making power at 6600 rpm's, There is no need to bring it over that.
 
i got an sohc vtec ZC there is no such engine in the list. but i am pretty sure its the same d16z6 with dif block. am i wrong?

Use Google. Get your answers from there.

Maybe you will wreck this car, too, and then we won't have to answer the questions that you could answer by yourself.

Thats make the forum useless isn't it? everybody shall google everything they want to ask about swap about problems and other sh1t .i hate haters///

ZC SOHC VTEC JDM version of the USDM d16z6 130ps/106-108tq

yeh your answers aren't good, so try to pass when you don't know something :ph34r:
 
In how many of your posts did you mention you had a vtec ZC. Let me count--1. And at that, it wasn't until after all the other information I gave you.

Give all the information if you want better answers. I linked you to reference stuff that was pertinent to the information given.

You suck at life. Learn to do some research. A forum isn't designed to GIVE you the information, but to help you after you have found information on your own and still have problems.

My answers are just fine. I don't give false information. The same GENERAL, PUBLIC INFORMATION that I have access to is available to you, too.

You should turn emo and cut yourself til you die.
 
Vtec ZC or not, you are going to blow your motor up if you keep rapping it out like that. But my answers aren't good, so I wouldn't expect you to listen to me. Just keep on trying to bring your motor to 9k...better yet, bring it to 10k. Maybe you will find the power up there.
 
well after i told its ZC sohc vtec you told its like a d16a6 dunno where you got the info
anyway thanks for the other explanations about the RPMs
can't blame you for not knowing ZC vtec its rare how i heard.
stop being hatter it make your life harder ;):D
