can someone plz tell me what engine is this



its on a four door eg civic, its not an LS motor, its 1.6 and comes stock in four door EG civic Si´s in my country, i dont know what engine it is and its not aftermarket and its not vtec

heres another pic in a 93 del sol




I dont think its a ZC cause they are on four doors and they arent vtec (i think), they are stock engines on these cars

here are more pics





performance wise, how are these engines? How much power can be extracted from them? Is it better than a Z6? Thanks

i think they are ZCs

 

looks like the vc off of my 89 teg.

 

D16A8 - ZC

I have the same engine in my EG sedan and here in Australia they call them Civic Si as well, was only sold for a short time (1992 - 1994) as the top civic sedan model before it was replaced with the SOHC VTEC engine which they then badged as Civic VTi.

 

I added more pics

Is this a good engine for modding (I have a Z6) Will it give me more power if i go either NA or turbo, i currently have nothing on the Z6 and these engines are a dime a dozen in my country

thanks!!!

 

Thats a ZC motor. There should be a "stamp" on the motor on the left front side where the tranny mounts which says "ZC" on it.

1.6L (1590 cc) DOHC non-VTEC
Horsepower - 130-137 hp @ 6800 rpm
Torque - 108ft-lbs @ 5700 rpm
Redline - 7500 rpm
Idle - 750rpm
Bore - 75.0
Stroke - 90.0
Compression Ratio - 9.5:1
Injection - Multi-Point PGM-FI

liam

 

it looks like and older LS but not sure

 

Isnt the ZC a Vtec engine? I was under the impression it was. I have read its a D16A8 wich is a Zc sans Vtec.
If it is so a A8 how much power does it have? Is it good for Na or turbo (wich of both) thanks

 

yup its a ZC MOTOR.. as honda did issue some eg models with the dohc 1.6 non vtec as well as the sohc vtec ZC motor..

PIC COURTESY OF KATMAN he does state that possibly only 2 yrs of the eg 92ish models came with a hydro ZC motor

100% ZC

 

thats a zc, but aren't there 3 different zc motors? a 1.6 sohc non-vtec, a 1.6 sohc vtec, and the ever-so-popular 1.6 dohc non-vtec? just wondering.......

 

to all those people who thought it was ls motor. Remember honda puts motors according to the weight of vehicles. Such as b18a b18c1 in integras, h22a f22a in prelude and accords. ever notice the lightest car has the least ex. 88-91 hf @ 63 hp. just a thought

 

it's a gray plug zc special addition motor out of an eg!!!

 

yea looks like a ZC motor to me

 

yep ZC

no it's not! that's a ZC.. you can tell it's not an LS by the plastic cam gear cover on the valve cover

looks like a zc motor and no.. the only zc i know of that is vtec is a single cam. i have never seen or heard of a dohc vtec that was a zc. just my .02

 

If you wanna know more about the ZC go to http://www.homemadeturbo.com this guy here has a fully built ZC turbo drag car

you are wrong Sir. I just spent last night ripping a ZC DOHC out of a friends CRX...(to be replaced by B17A)...They do make them, the pre-DA model tegs had them.

 

oh, and for those that arent aware, the ZC was Honda's worst idea ever. A single cam bottom end, with a DOHC head jerry-rigged on it.

The ZC is a very popular swap for people with Si CRX's...they can go from single cam to dual cam, usually picking up the block for around $300-400, and all the single cam componates move over (Tranny, axles, etc.)

 

Yup, looks like a ZC.
To be 100% sure, look at the stamp on the block.
