hi i need any info people have on the SOHC (non-vtec) ZC i've been told its basically the same as the D16A6, is this true.. if so can i use any parts from the D16A6 on my SOHC ZC? any info would be great thanx

 

Same engine exactly, only a different cam.

 

I thought it had high compression too? I got a SOHC ZC, and they are fun, peppy engines!

The sohc zc is fun, but still uses the same pistons. I have torn them apart and seen 1st hand.

120Hp 100Trq 9.1 compression (JDM) and the tranny is shortor than the si tranny its a good motor and bang for the buck

Some d16a6 engines have oil coolers as well,,like the wagon and 90-91 ex civic..It's not really worth wild or anything though.

 

and i thought i was special

 

oh, just to add in here, i noticed the IM layout of sensors was slightly different between my 91 sohc zc and my 89 d16a6. it also has a higher amp alternator than we got here.

Good info,,Do you know the exact amp rating on the alternator?

 

no i don't, but I know it uses a belt that's a rib wider. My engine appears to have a lot of differences, though. different logo on the valve cover, off an automatic, power steering, etc. So it could just be this motor and not all of them.

 

so installing a timing belt is the same as a D16A6? as well as the valve clearances thanx

 

sure is
