I have heard that there are three basic kinds of ZC, and like his topic title states, he is talking about the sohc vtec one. btw I thought that there wasn't a dohc vtec zc! Anyone got any good links that explain ALL the different zc engine families? And before you say "USE THE SEARCH!!!" you can't search for two letter words like "zc" on this board.

This is copied from a page I found a long time ago. I can't remember the URL or who did the write-up:

"The ZC engine comes with an engine block that has 4 cylinders, water-cooled, with bore and stroke as 75mm by 90mm, ie an undersquare design. Thus, the capacity of the ZC engine is always 1590cc. The ZC engine comes in various configurations, SOHC, DOHC, carbaretted as well as fuel-injected. The only configuration that ZC does not come in is in DOHC-VTEC form. The ZC engine is also used in a large variety of models. The list below tries to tie the various configuration of the ZC engine to examples of Honda models and types that they appear in. This list is not intended to be exhaustive."


SOHC twin-carburetted

The ZC engine also appears in other Honda lines, notably in SOHC PGM-Fi and SOHC Dual-Carb'ed form in the Concerto line-up which was also available for export (Singapore is one country which has this model in its domestic lineup).

Theres such a thing as a ZC SOHC VTEC engine. My boy got one in his EF hatch. The engine code just says ZC, and the valve cover says VTEC and has a VTEC solenoid. So guess what...ahahahaa.
