Default Who's rockin the SOHC ZC....

There has been many threads lately about these engines, just wanted to see how many people have it and what do they think about it for future reference. On my personal opinion, I must say that this little single cammer has some ****** *****....It's been very reliable... Totally reccomend it!

I used to have one on my old 4 door. It felt quicker than the D15B vtec I have in my new 4 door. Lots of torque and pulled hard all the way to 7k. My best time was a 16.6 at 2700ft above sea level (LA County Raceway).

i just swapped a sohc zc into my hf, and i love it. i have to do a little tuning, and it seems as soon as i fix one thing, something else happens, but once i get it all ironed out, im gonna take it to the track and see what i can get. i've got a zc intake and tb(its huge) zc header, cai, dx tranny, and 2" exhaust running to a flowmaster axle-back with no cat. converter. my mpg went to ****(im burnin reallllly rich) but damn this thing is peppy. im gonna give it a bottle too. i think i'm hittin 15's, and my brother( drives a mid 12's mustang) says he thinks im hittin mid 14's, but thats all speculation. anyway, i love it. bone stock, i could outrun my hf in my 87 fullsize bronco, probably with the plow too. lol

Helping someone out who has one of these in their CRX. Havn't really looked into these before.

Where can I find the specs on the sohc ZC? (rod length,CR,etc)
Hard to search with search not allowing 2 character words.

Have heard its similar to the d16a6, is this true? or is it just the same as DOHC ZC minus the cam?

THanks

THanks</TD></TR></TABLE>it is IDENTICAL to teh a6 except the cam. when you are looking for aftermarket parts look for a6 parts. the cams are interchangeable, but the sohc zc is a bit more aggressive

I like it. Bigger cam, higher compression than D16A6, but no VTEC so it's time for a mini me.

It pulls hard in the mid range for a stock motor, but falls flat in the top end where I'm used to hearing the VTEC scream. Few people realize that VTEC engines are also better in the low RPMs than their non VTEC equivalents.

I love my SOHC ZC. ******' sweet! Never had any problems other than sensors ******* up, but that always happens with swaps.. I have a rebuilt Y8 head, virgin P28, all the gaskets and t. belt sitting in my room. I just need an OBD-1 conversion harness and I'm ready to go.
