hey guys, i searched and looked around in the faq, but couldn't quite find info on these engines.. i know one has a couple more hp than the other, but other than that, which engine would you reccomend? would i have to get a new ecu for the vtec, aswell? its going into a 1991 hatch si.

d15b vtec: http://www.hmotorsonline.com/s...30021

zc: http://www.hmotorsonline.com/s...30020

 

The D15b vtec has more power.

Im pretty sure the ZC there is almost identical to the non vtec d16 that came in the SI and EX civic.

i would go with the zc, but the 92-95 one bc they came vtec and similiar to a non vtec b16. Im pretty sure they come with 130 hp. My boy put one his his bubble with intake, headers, exhaust and i think a intake manifold and ran a 14.9 w.o tune and wasnt running right.

 

i doubt it matters, choose the cheapest one.

 

if I remeber correct the SOHC ZC 88-91 has 120HP while the other D15B Vtec has 130HP accurding to hmotorsonline.com The D15B is for 92-95 Civics/Del Solds wiring is for OBD-1. On aftermarket support on parts for FI I say the SOHC ZC is best choice is just like the D16A6 but different cam and maybe diff comp havent research that in a while. Check thezcr.com

 

Well i think the d15b has good support too, you just have to know exactly what part you are looking for and compare it to the US spec.

Ok i thought that the zc was called the non-vtec b16, guess i was wrong dont have to be a dick.

 

the VTEC ZC is SOHC and is OBD1. the D15b is also SOHC and VTEC. they are pretty similar engines besides the d being 1.5l and the zc being 1.6l. I just bought a VTEC ZC, HP numbers are both 130hp. zc has a touch bit more torque IIRC, due to the extra little bit of displacement. Its easier to get parts for the ZC too since it is basically a D16Z6.
