I went to look at this car today, the shell is an EF the motor he said is a b16 so i pop hood and it all look b16 until i check the stamp on the block and its stamped ZC........what did this guy do? help me out plz.

 

Thats a ZC motor off a 1990-1993 JDM CRX. It is a 1.6 137hp/108lbs of torque DOHC non vtec motor at 9.5:1 compression.

Its not a b16 but still a nice motor that is great for boosting.

 

thanks man. cleared that up.

 

any other opinions?

 

bumpssss

 

Well the fact that this guy didn't even know what motor is in his car, worries me.

I would test drive it and take it to a reputable mechanic to make sure there are no issues with it.

 

do you know how a b16 looks like?

 

B16


Dohc ZC

 

I wouldnt trust this guy at all.. the fact that he thinks your an idiot and how he can get away with it by telling you it has a b16 in it.. dont buy from him.. unless hes as clueless as you :D

 

i think he just might be

 

post pics

 

pics....

 

dont have pics just went and saw it and im trying to decide if its worth a shot toying with

 

screw that do a swap yourself unless your getting a killer deal, screw buying someone elses project swap car who is either lying to u or doesnt know what engine swap he has lol...

 

thats the thing dude it is a steal. 700$

 

well if you said it looked like a b16 but it had a zc stamped on there..maybe it was an ls/vtec?

 

can this be true?

 

shhhhhuuuut that **** up.

a DOHC ZC is basically a single cam, with two cams.

It uses a D-series tranny, d-series axles, d-series distributor, d-series etc...

Not even Jesus himself could make that into an "LS/VTEC"

wait a minute, are you the guy selling this car?

 

No, if it says ZC it's not an LS/VTEC.

 

an lsvtec your dumber than the guy that thinks its a b16

 

Nope. Honestly theres about 8 different engines that are all stamped mearly ZC, theres really only about 3 that are likely to have been swapped into the car though:

- DOHC non-vtec ZC
-SOHC non-vtec ZC
-SOHC Vtec ZC

 

I would say grab it if the guy only wants $700 for it. Could turn out to be worth it. A DOHC ZC can make for a good boost motor. If everything else checks out then it may make for a good vehicle to do a swap into.
Then you can sell the ZC to offset the cost of the new swap. And if all else fails you have a parts car.

 

don't get it i say.. if he's lying to you about the engine, he could be lying about other parts of the car. don't buy!! he's dodgy

 

b16zc wow thats new....

 

I would steer clear of buying it, if the guy thinks its a b16. Whats saying he hasn't tried to rev it up to 8k already?
