ok.. as most of you know, my black Si is down from an accident. so im looking to rebuild her, and putting on some nice mugen stuff. well i found a site where they are selling a mugen valve cover. they say it will only fit on a B-series engine. now i know my stock Si has a D16 in it, but i was thinking that when this engine ever goes up, i want to go to a ZC, which is DOHC NO VTEC (correct??). would this valve cover bolt onto a ZC or does it have to be a B-16?? i thought the only difference between the ZC and the B-16 is VTEC, im not sure, hence my question. Now, if i can't bolt the valve cover on, could i bolt a B-16 head onto the ZC block?? and do the valve cover that way?? im sure this really sounds complicated, but i hope it makes enough sense to someone thanks guys

 

i doubt if it'll swap over as the zc dohc is mainly different from d series doch blocks/heads

just buy some 1500 degree brake temp paint and some clear coat and paint the top (looks nice) and only costs $10

 

No.
Nope. The (blacktop) ZC is (grossly oversimplified) a D16 block with a special DOHC head. The B16 is a basic B-series VTEC engine, which shares no parts with any D-series units. The ZC DOHC head is very similar to a B18A/B non-VTEC head, though size and specifics are different.
Nope.
No problem:thumbup:

Where do you plan to get the $900-some for the Mugen cover though?

 

hey, thanks alot for answering my questions... that helps a lot. where was i gonna find the money.. well, i have some money from the insurance company for the claim on nadene, and i played my cards right, i might have some left over to keep to spend on it when/if i ever did a swap. when i finally get another CRX to donate, i plan on getting a lot of mugen accessories to put on my baby

 

I would love to put a lot of legit mugen parts on my car. But there so limited and expensive.

 

yea, i hear ya, but since i have some money to use from the accident, im gonna try and get some. im just trying to be a little different around in my area. everyones got exhaust and suspension, and all the normal stuff, some people rice it out, some dont. i just want to be a little different, so i can tell the people that know what theyre talking about and who doesnt. and i really want to do this once and do it right.. i just found pics of my rex from the accident, i will post them soon, and give you a report on her and pics of any legit mugen stuff i get :fawk:
