ZC (similar to D15Z4, D16Z6, D16A1, D16A3, D16A6, D16A8, D16A9 and D16Z5 engines)
A few D-series variants are labelled "ZC" (usually JDM), but they are not truly a different series.

There are both SOHC and DOHC ZC engines.

The non-VTEC SOHC ZC is similar to the D15Z4 and D16A6 engine, but with more aggressive cam timing.

The VTEC SOHC ZC is identical to the D16Z6, and the DOHC ZC is similar to the D16A1, D16A3, D16A8, D16A9 and D16Z5 engines.

Euro Mk1 (85-87) 1.6 CRX's are fitted with an engine designated "ZC1" which is a higher spec 130 bhp version of the D16a1.

The JDM Browntop ZC from the 84-87 Civic CR-X and Integra made 135hp from the factory.

 

do you know how the cylinder walls hold up for turbo applications? is it the same block as a b18B/a but the walls are thicker? or is this completly different application, it is DOHC, very strong motor 3rd clutch in this car, 3rd gear seems a little outta place.....but nothing to be worried about ..... this is a NON vtec DOHC motor ZC

 

well, a friend of mine up here was running a 50 shot on his D16A1 which is practically a ZC. it help up fine.

As for turbo, another few folks up here with JDM CRX SI's had a couple turbo ZC's. They seemed to smoke a bit due to the rings.

Depends on really how much boost you want. IMO a b18b1 is a better platform to boost if you want to keep it non vtec.

 

how should i treat the suspension for this chassis? will DC2 applications bolt up?

 

come to think of it, is this considered to be a DA i know its not a DC......i dunno the code for this chassis. 1989 inegra
