Default ZC question

having a little debate about zc motors.. now from what i understand that the zc came in dohc 88-91 jdm crx and a sohc non -vtec version

now some say there is a 1.6 zc thats sohc vtec but i have never seen nor heard of this motor..

can anyone show me actual pics of a zc stamped sohc vtec motor.. not a zc block with vtec head crap either lol

zc in foreign countries means "d-series"

there's basically two types of d-series from 88-00

dohc and sohc.

you can't put dohc heads on sohc blocks.

and the sohc zcs are like our sohc d16s

yes and no.. becuase i currently have the jdm d16a which is the soch zc.. yet mine is non-vtec... i can put a vetc head on it, yet it comes non vtec.. if u need pics, look up jdmenginedepot.com thats where i got mine.. and they are basickly the same motor between the usdm d16 and the jdm zc, yet their is a very slight power difference in the power band, and in higher revs..

There is a SOHC VTEC ZC, and it's identical to our USDM D16Z6.

Call hmotorsonline and ask if they have any ZC VTEC's. They are not exactly rare engines, and no they do not pump 140hp. It's exactly the same as a D16Z6. I should know I have one.

You can, but it's a strange concoction that doesn't seem to have long lasting results. There was a user a few years ag, baseballinmyass or something like that & he did it. There was a HUGE thread on it.

Sorry for the OT fellas. Carry on.
