still wishing/hoping/saving for an ef and a little swap action but was wondering abotu ZCs, i see some people with sohc zcs and some people with dohc zcs.....whats the deal? i searched but no one has really spelled out the difference that i could see.

 

sohc zc- higher horsepower version of our d16a6 here in the states-roughly 118hp?

dohc zc- 130hp dohc engine out of the 88-91 jdm civic/crx si and some jdm integras

 

oh...cool.

thanks.

 

both have zc stamped on the block as well.

sohc zc

 

Big plus is they are cheap, they bolt up without expensive custom mounts and need only minimal wiring changes to work. Assuming you don't have a DPI car in which case you have a lot more to do regardless of your swap.

 

sohc zc...maybe 1 or 2 horsepower more than an a6...dont let people tell you otherwise...they get power more from the ecu than anything. and the zc has a shorter gear ratio, so they are a little quicker than an a6

the doch zc has about 130 horsepower

while the newer zc vtecs have about 125 horsepower

 

i have a sohc zc. i bought my crx with it in. the guy said that he put in a newer "si" engine, but never told me it was a zc until i found out one day. would it be safe to say that he put in the sohc zc ecu when the work had been done? how to i find out...i've never even seen my ecu, i hear it's hiding under the passenger foot area somewhere?

 

hey y-49, i was at the honda-tech meet...the stunna with the white hatch? lol (not the tall guy with painted moldings, but the si)

all you do is pull up your passenger side carpet, and the ecu will be sitting right there. on the side there should be a barcode, with numbers above it.

the second set should sa PG7 if you have teh zc ecu (i think its PG7, it might be PM7)

but if it says PM6, then you just have the stock Si ecu

 

sohc zc has a more aggressive cam than the a6...i know i've seen them both side by side

 

just to verify the coding with you guys. The PG7 is the 88-89 ecu which works fine with the zc and had a higher rev limiter at 7200 RPM, much better than the Si ecu. The PM7 is the zc ecu, obviously the best ecu for the zc motor

my bad, i couldn't remember what the PG7 was...

thanks for clarifying

 

Um, there is no Vtec ZC......

 

hah, wanna bet? want to see pics of my 93 zc vtec?

they made them from 92-95 and possibly 96+

there is no d16 in japan, only the zc

get your facts straight before you post

 

Show me pics of a block that says ZC with a Vtec head please....

allright, lemme get my friends digital camera and i'll try to throw em up later today

its just a jspec d16z6

 

I would love to see this as well?

No D16a6 in Jap. Land Huh?????
What this?? https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=440453

 

how do i go about this without ******* up my carpet royaly? is there a delicate way i can go about this? and yes, i remember you skud...you were a stunna.

 

hey now, thats not too nice

i've changed my ways...im gettin better lol...

actually, the blingin chrome rims were on the car when i bought it...and they're gone..

anyways, there should be little tabs on the side where the carpet meets the space right in front of the door. they should pop out pretty easily, allowing you to pull the carpet up without ruining it.

i'll show you some pics of the hatch later, now thats its de-riceified.

and im working on gettin the camera to bust out pics of the zc vtec. RTErnie, racerj404, and kernalrice can testify to my zc vtec

 

 

its either a zc, or a d16a6 with mugen parts on it you little douche...

you kinda cant see the engine code idiot

the d16a6 and single cam non vtec zc are REALLY ******* similar

 

im skud's friend with the camera, heres the pics that were asked for (lighting was wrong, had a hard time getting pics properly)

sorry for the size...
