Vtec-e 1.5 SOHC

[driver5397]

i have a Vtec-e 1.5 SOHC can anyone tell me more about this motor???? Is it the same as a Vtec motor wats the E means? tell me all u can about that motor.

1. what kinda headers do i put on this motor?

 

[AHHVTEC]

yes its vtec but its meant to save alot of gas, vtec e ..economy it has less power than a non vtec dx motor,, its junk in other words

 

[phunky.buddha]

Actually, it's not junk. It has nice geometry, has a wonderfully efficient head that can make a LOT of power if someone does some work on it, and it's just cool to be able to say you have a D15Z and roasted someone.

Header fitment- I think any D series header will work on it.

so vtec-e wiring is the same than vtec?

 

[killercannible]

Alot of what makes the motor efficient is in the ecu and cam. You can easily put a z6 cam and p28 ecu in it and it will run just like a z6. I also want to point out the cool rear bumpers on the vx's, they have a cool wind guard that goes from the bumper to the chassis to reduce drag^_^. No need for those gay looking diffuser thingys.

 

[Walterronny]

so the wiring is the same , vtec-e and vtec right? just change ecu and cam?

 

[killercannible]

yeah, the stock ecu has a rev limiter of 5500 or something like that so that has to go. Not positive about the cam cause i only drove one and never took it apart. Also, i think the gearing of the tranny is different. Geared more for fuel economy.

 

[phunky.buddha]

You can't just drop the Z6 cam into the Z1 engine. The Z1 cam only has 16 lobes- the Z6 has 20. It won't fit. You'll have to get a custom cam made for the Z1 engine.

 

[yamahauler2006]

if the d15z is V-tec how does it only have 16 lobes

 

[competitiveaudioman]

what bout swaping a y8 head on the d15z block? any noticeable gains? is it a direct swap?

 

[Briansol]

it's a mini-me. search on that term and you'll find gobs of info.

What makes it so fuel efficient, are the manifolds, cam and ecu. I would just swap the head. All the money you will spend on new manifolds and a custom ground cam its just not worth it.
