according to wikipedia;

the ZC's do differ in quite a few ways, its obd0 aswell so might cause some problems, could be done though, they have high compression aswell might be a beast!!!!

[Dodo Bizar]

Neh it can't be done, the ZC is really differently aligned. I've tried how ZC IM fit on a D14 in the beginning, to start: port to port distance is bigger on ZC. In the end it is a completely different block with the only thing being the same is the bore if I am correct. But the spacing between cylinders is different etc.

[mynameisowen]

yea fought there was a reason why it hasnt been done. It should have its own engine family really i think.

I see. What about B-series head? Negative answer again?

That is indeed a negative answer...

[mynameisowen]

indeed the b engines have a 81mm bore for starters, which is significantly larger than our 75mm... imagine though

ZC head on a D16 sohc bottem has been done a long time ago in america.
BUT the head doesn't line up properly with the bottem end and the guy had major difficulties making it seal properly.So it isn't worth doing it with all the problems you'll get.

helo guys, i was wondering if anyone knew how to dismount the pistons from the rods, I know you need a press to take out the pins, but would like to see pics, any link?

Allright, i can get my hands on a D14A3 head. I know that there are lots of performance possibilities with the head but what are the options?

So D14A3 head:

- Porting?
- Valves & springs?
- Cams?
- Etc..

Umm Nick would be a good person to ask. Also LakaiD14 since *I think* he's pretty proud of his D14 head.

Depends how much you wnat the car to make and what future upgrades you have planned.

If you want to rev it springs are must methinks.
