due to the fact that I was earlier having a debate about d-series engines with someone on here, and the subject has come up lately, and also due to the fact that I have so far done 1000 posts and contributed nothing but terror to H-T I figured this might help some people. Also majority of people with a 92-00 civic have or had stock d-series motors so here goes.

I would like to state before i do this that I can not be 100% accurate on every single thing I post, so if you know of something i left out, or something I did wrong, let me know so I can change it.

The d-series engine

The d-series engine is an inline 4 cylinder engine commonly used in hondas. Most commonly the civic, CRX, and first generation integras. Its displacement ranges between 1.2 and 1.7 liters depeding upon the specific model. While the most common d-series motor is a SOHC, this engine DOES come in both SOHC and DOHC. Some SOHC models come with vtec, but none of the DOHC models do.

D series vs B series
The d-series engine was first introduced in 1984 and continued production until the 8th gen civic. The d-series is a readily available and fairly cheap engine that is easy to mod. While this engine is not quite as durable as the b-series and may not provide as much power, it is still very durable.

Common way to get more power from a d series
There are two common ways to bring more power from a d series engine. Mini me and Forced Induction. To list all the d-series engines I could find with specs: (some of these I could not find specs on, please let me know if you have answers)

should have just linked them to wikipedia.

 

a good bit of it came from wikipedia, some of it i had to search for. Besides, then I can't update it when I find new info. I plan on doing a lot more tomorrow, for now, it's almost 12 in my timezone, time for sleep. Please post any knowledge so I can add it tomorrow.

 

uhh you must not have looked at wiki very well cuz you got the D15B7 messed up, heres what wiki has:

D15B7

o 1992-1995 Honda Civic CX (Canadian model)
o 1992-1995 Honda Civic DX/LX
o 1993-1995 Honda Civic del Sol S

I dunno what else you might have gotten wrong but i know that one cuz its what I have in my car and like hell i have 72hp lol

 

SOME INFO FOR ZC's

Here's some info on the DOHC ZC taken from thezcr.com:

1st gen DOHC ZC - brown valve cover - came in 86-87 JDM Integra - will bolt directly into 1st gen CRX Si and 3rd gen Civic Si - will not bolt directly into 2nd gen CRX or 4th gen Civic.
2nd gen DOHC ZC - black valve cover - came in 88-89 JDM Integra - will bolt directly into 1st gen CRX and 3rd gen Civic, same as brown valve cover, however, it uses electronic advance distributor like 88-89 USDM Integra D16A1 - 1st gen CRX Si and 3rd gen Civic Si have vacuum advance distributor, so, to use it on 1g CRX or 3g Civic, you will have to do a lot of wiring changes.
3rd gen DOHC ZC - black valve cover - came in 88-91 JDM CRX Si and Civic Si - bolts directly into 2nd gen CRX and 4th gen Civic.
4th gen DOHC ZC - black valve cover - came in several different models of JDM cars 92 & up - is OBD1 - has Cylinder Position Sensor inside the distributor and will bolt directly into 92-00 Civics
SOHC ZC - basically the same as D16A6 (little more horsepower) - will bolt directly into 2nd gen CRX and 4th gen Civic.
SOHC VTEC ZC - basically the same as D16Z6 - OBD1 - will bolt directly into 92-00 Civic

DOHC ZC Specs.

1.6L (1590 cc) DOHC
130-137 hp @ 6800 rpm
Bore 75.0
Stroke 90.0
C.R. 9.5:1 I can find no evidence of it being any higher than this.
91 octane. Some have reported no problems with 87, but the specified gas is 95 and/or 96 RON, which is equal to 91-92 'pump octane' available in the US.
