i bought the car thinking it was stock but now im unsure.please help.

 

It says it right there ZC. Person probably just left the DPFI manifold intact instead of converting.

 

damn man give that thing some love. no the zc is not stock, its a good platform though, equivalent to the d16a6. convert that thing to mpfi and have some fun with it

 

Throw a y8 head on that sucker right there

 

Just to clarify what everyone is talking about. This is an imported ZC motor, if your from the US. Your car is a standard or DX model which means it is Dual port fuel injection (DPFI). SI's and HF's are Multi-port fuel injection (MPFI), or one injector per cylinder. Whoever put the ZC motor in was lazy and didn't swap the intake manifold and wire up the MPFI, since ZC's are MPFI. So by putting a MPFI intake on and wiring it up you should get 10-25 more hp.

A y8 or z6 heads are v-tec, and can bolt right to that block. You will have to change your ECU and wire the v-tec in (search mini-me swap). This will give you another 10-25hp.

 

Well...theres your answer lol mini me swaps are worth the work

 

Actually it is better than a mini me swap. Search zcvtec car will pull hard for a lil single jingle

 

Yea because the zc with vtec head has high comp if i remember correctly. I did this 10 years ago, i remember street tuning it with uberdata i think?

Would need higher octane too

 

Whats up with that EGR on that manifold??

Edit: looked again and noticed the EGR control box on the firewall as well... Maybe DPFI hf?? lol.. I really don't know..

My DPFI terd doesn't have that...

 

Hmm, did Honda release a zc sohc non vtec with a carburetor? I'm dealing with a similar issue. I have 91 civic STD set up with dpfi. The block code is d15b only, no b1 or b whatever. My head is pretty much identical except that egr lookin like is not there. A block plate has been installed. I've researched it and it is a mechanical fuel pump. Those heads were built for the carbureted jdm d15b.

 

looks like an LS1

 

looks like a hack job i see that it used to be automatic then converted to stick and have wires everywhere good luck its a zc swap great motor for a sohc non vtec

 

ZC is what they use in Japan to indicate a 1.6L single cam, I've seen shops swap ZCs into their customer cars with the dpfi manifold, it works though haha
