I was looking at a SOHC VTEC motor today, but the block was stamped ZC. So this a 1.6 or 1.5 motor? also, what is the tranny code for LSD tranny?

Thanks

 

It's a 1.6L. I think the tranny code should be the same S20, it just has an LSD stamp on it

 

yeah they have a 1.6 sohc vtec zc 130hp and they have a 1.5 vtec 130hp d15b

 

which is better? the 1.6 or 1.5?

 

If you want to mod it....the ZC I believe.

 

I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST ENGINE A D15B V-TECH FROM CALI. I GOT MY ENGINE AND IT LOOKS CLEAN. SAID TO HAVE 23K ON IT , I THING I SAW DIFF WAS IT DIDN'T HAVE A FUEL DAMPENER , DO YOU NEED FOR THE SWAP OR KEEP AS IS ? IS IT BEST TO BUY NEW ENGINE MOUNTS? OTHER THAN THAT I CANT WAIT TO DO MY OWN SWAP ANY INFO ON DO'S AND DON'T FROM ANY ONE , HOLLA BACK !!

 

The 1.6L Sohc Vtec (ZC) is the better motor, it is rated at 140HP in Japan, not 130HP like the D15b (1.5L Sohc Vtec). However, this is crank HP so it's about 15% less Wheel HP. They're good engines to Mod and turbo however and with a little work, they can easily spank B-series NA.

 

well im looking to boost it so im going change out the internals anyway. Im going ot go back today and find out if it has an LSD tranny
