OK...so heres the dealy-o. I am picking up my buddies 88 Si CRX pretty soon (within a week or 2) And i am wondering if this is possible...:

I was asking him what motor was in it (he wasnt really sure either because the previous owner did some sort of a japanese motor swap.)

So then, he cleaned off the part where the engine code is..."ZC"...and i says to him "Thats weird...i could have sworn the ZC was DOHC?" Well...it had the stock CRX Si head (SOHC) 16 valve, and i think the zc is also 16 valve. it had the stock MPFI, and all the other stock SI accesories...i think this is extremely weird.

what kind of power will this make? will this be a good block for the mini me setup?

and also : whats this about "controlled oversteer"?

thanks everyone!!!

 

Nope, theres lots of Sohc Zc's

Ive got one, spray on it daily, great motor

They make 119hp, not much more than oem but I got it for really cheap so it was worth it, bolts up the the OEM si tranny

I think the only difference in the sohc zc is the cam profile

Im also in Ontario, watch out the cops dont catch you with it, cop told me he could take it no problem because I didnt have the papers for it and I dont think your buddy will either

Good luck

 

thanks for the info & heads up. where abouts in ontario do you live?

 

wats up, i live in brampton and have a doch zc' in mine. we ppls should haf a meet sumwer, nice weather now! vmm_69@hotmail.com

 

Im in Burlington most of the time with Mommy, and daddy in Milton every once in a while

 

seeen! i was wonderin dont they haf a scrapyard in milton sumwer?? i need sum parts

 

Theres a couple, not really worht to come here though, there to small

Pick up a phone book, theres 2 MASSIVE places in Stoney creek, they have 2 locations, ones for dumbestics and the other for imports

I found everything I need there

 

if you build the sohc zc..its very reliable...stock in my 89 weighting 2390, i pulled a 15.64 @ 88 w/a slipping clutch...they have alot of potential...but most like to "flame" on the sohc zc...i think its a nice motor

 

I'm in brampton as well..yes, it's basically a d16a6 motor w/ a better cam.

exactly...the cam is more agressive...which gives it 10 extra hp

 

the sohc zc is a buff little motor, it just lacks the top end of the dohc. i had a dohc zc, and i love those motors, you just can't over power them unless you build them up. mine lasted about 5 years of abuse! 15.0 at 92 i/h/e

 

we should have a PHAT meet next summer (dont got g2 liscence yet....) and at that time, my car will probably be done.

thanks for all the info, guys. what kind of gains could i expect from a D16Z6 head? (SOHC VTEC)

 

what year head?

 

because 96 up head has bigger combustion chamber. It'll run alot better than the 92-95

 

i wanna get the 96 and up
