so theres no real mechanical difference? you'd think they would update the engine a bit

The Y8's head was designed for better bottom end power, while the Y1 has better highend power.

I got Y8... It only got intake variable valves only...
when does the vtec kicks in?

D16Y8 1.6 16VSOHC VTECII PGM-FI 1590 127hp@6600rpm
D16Z6 1.6 16VSOHC VTEC PGM-FI 1590 125hp@6600rpm

Someone mention that the Z6 is D16Y1 (edit typo)

Diffrent exhaust and intake manifolds.
