I wanted to get a thread going about the ZC engine. So post anything about the ZC from engine build ups, places to buy them, quarter mile times, etc.... Lets make this a good informitive thread. No B series is better, etc.... Remember this is for the ZC engine.

 

89 std hatch/sohc vtec, **** done, never ran,, cuss i have no TRANNY. but should be quick,, thinkin high 14's

 

No offense, but wouldn't just going to the zc resource be much easier? There's a ton of information there, and you wouldn't be wasting bandwidth here.

Try low 15's

 

notice he said "**** done", Im guessing hes not stock and could be running 12's for all you know.

I ran a 15.1 with a 2.3 60' with a dohc zc with just i/e/gutted cat and gutted rear

 

motor wise,95 vti sohc vtec,milled head,port/polished intake mani,64mm tb chipped p28 vtec 4800/8000 redline,header,intake,catback, and not the cheap ****,stage2 clutch, 10lb flywheel,,CAM, s inm thinkin 14's fyi..lol

NO BIG RIMS,NO BODY KITS, NO WINGS,ECT BUT A DEPO LIP

 

Since this is the "official" ZC post I better get my input in so I can validated.

1. Blacktop dohc ZCs make 130ps...not hp, but ps. That's roughly 128hp
2. Browntop ZCs make 135ps...yes, more then the newer blacktops. And, no, I'm not talking about a teg d16a1.
3. The sohc ZC makes 120ps.
4. I don't see a "zed" in ZC. Fruity Canadians.

 

you know i have never seen this mystery browntop zc i have however seen the d16a1 though but that is about it ............. fyi i have the dohc zc currently under construction though ..... spun the 2nd journal bearing and now its being reworked no big deal though ( i miss my hatchy....)

 

I thought the browntops were the weakest ZC engine.

Sorry, that's just not the case. If anything, it's the strongest. Better rods. Like I said, Browntop ZC does not equal D16a1:

You'll have to run it through a translation engine...if you're too lazy to do that, the power ratings are in regular numeric text halfway down the page.
