Because I see this engine on ebay which the guy claims is a zc but there is no pic of the engine stamp. However it looks identical to the engine that I blew up in my 95 EX coupe, whereas all these other D16z6's Im seeing for sale have a different valve cover and look different in general ... anyone have a clue as to why ??

 

can you make out a vtec solonoid. that would give it away

 

zc isnt vtec ??

 

The ZC is a DOHC engine, so there is no way it can look like a SOHC D-series engine. Here is a pic of a ZC with a Greddy turbo (hope it shows):



B96v6

 

there are sohc ZCs mang

 

well this one says vtec right on the valve cover and it has a vtec solenoid so it must not be a zc correct ?

 

correct

 

no wrong there are sohc vtec zc motors my friend just put one in his 95 coupe ,theres 3 diffrent ones sohc non vtec ,sohc vtec an dohc non vtec, so before you guys start actin like you no everything an just say no to this guy tryin to do reserach please no what your talkin about

peace

 

show me a pic w/ the block stamp.

 

he bought the complete head an block from a local motor importer called A&A trade its in baltimore city , ill try to find a camera to show you

 

ok, I stand corrected....I did a little research, and there is 1 jdm ZC that was infact sohc vtec...it made 130hp.

my appologies.

 

no prob dude, they also made a little more torque than the usdm sohc vtec motor

 

well if i win the auction we'll see what this motor really is heh

 

send me some pics of the motor if its still in its jdm form meaning it still has the jdm intake manifold an such , i can tell you what motor it is if you send me some pics

peace

I thought the "ZC" engine was simply a nickname for a D16A6? Wouldn't that mean there was only 1? Sorry I'm a little slow.

 

There actually several versions of "ZC" but you are partially right, not all ZC are stamped as ZC, usdm ones are D16a6

 

I have had a JDM ZC SOHC VTEC before. I bought it back in 98 and dropped it into my coupe. Mine had a black valve cover and had VTEC on the valve cover. The american 94-95 sohc vtec valve covers have the gray aluminum look. Like the one on ebay. When I bought my motor I only paid $350.00 for it. It did feel a little bit faster than my old D16Z but not all that much. I would not pay more than $400 for that motor. Anything more than that is not worth it.

 

here is a pic of my ZC SOHC VTEC motor, and it also has ZC stamped right on the front of the block.. the motor was puchased from soko motors..

Well I won so ill let you all know what the engine is exactly once i pay for it and it gets here

 

I guess you don't need my motor then? Hehe, good luck, hope you get what you want!

 

cool, post back when you receive it.

 

zc's come in both dohc and sohc

 

Holly ****. You payed $650 for that motor. That is too much. It is not worth it. To top it off I know where JPR is here in Cali. They are overpriced. They use to be cheap last year but now uggg to much money. THat motor is not worth $650. You can get a D16z for about $250- $350 and a zex cam and that will have more power than that zc vtec.

 

well i couldnt find anyone selling a D16z6 that wasnt driven around the world 6 times if you know what i mean and the ones i did see didnt even look like the stock motor that was in my car before it blew up ..
