Hey,

Im kinda new to import world..... I use my 95 honda hatchback for my daily driver and i have a blown small block 355 camaro for the street strip. BUt i found a Zc motor from jdm....its a 1.6 liter v-tech..... they say it will bolt right inot my car...is this a good motor?>? how much hp? and ive never headr of it refered to as a Zc which motor is this D16z6 ?

Thank u

 

well its not a zc as zc's never had "vtec" and they don't drop into 92+ civics anyways....
is it dual or single cam?
got any pics?
does it say vtec on it anywhere or is this what they told you?
more info plz including the #'s off the block to the left of the exhaust mani if you'd like this motor ID'ed...

 

Well i saw this motor on the JRD sight .. their selling it for 1095.99 its a sohc v-tech zC and i emailed the guy and he said it bolts right into the 92-92 honda civic..is this true???

 

explain your definition of a ZC more plz.... not bitin on ya but the only zc's i know of are:
-old brown dohc top zc's that drop in 1st gen crx/ 3rd gen civics
-blacktop doch zc for 2nd gen crx/ 4th gen civic
-and the elusive euro sohc zc for crx/ 4th gen civic....

 

HEy,


WEll everyone says that... Thats what the motor title is on the ARD wed sight.. BUt it says Zc 16 motot... I did see the Zc ur talkin about for 91 crx's but this isnt that motor.. maybe they called it that i think its refered to as the D16z its a 1.6 liter sohc v-tech.....how much hp does this motor make? cuase they said itll driop right in... if so for 1095.99 thats the way im gonna go.

 

Lemme offer you some help.

The d16z is rated by Honda to make 125. It will bolt right into your car. If your car has a factory tachometer, its wired for vtec, if its got a factory sunroof too, its straight forward. If you have the tach only you have a vx which is a vtec engine but the o2 sensor wiring is different. If you dont have an si, youll need to add some wires and change the ECU to a p28 which is the ecu for 92-95 civic sohc vtec.

Since you said you have a blown chumaro Im assuming you just want to fix your civic. I would not pay more than 500 for that engine, unless its rebuilt, with a warranty. Thats the only way its worth 1100.

So basically it will bolt in, wiring may be and issue and it costs too much. I hope this will help you.

 

Hey thanks..... Actually im just tired of listning to the ls1 4th gen camaro guys make fun of imports....Since none of them can beat my camaro i figured id build a sleeper honda that can run high 13s ... which is why i wanted the sohc v-tech.. i figure they make alot of forged internals for it.. which means once i bu it i can swap in forged rods crank and pistons and new head gaskets... change the fuel mixture and run 100 shot of spray... with 200 hp i figure i should be close to high 13s in the little hatchback. right?Oh and that motor is 1095.99 it comes form JDM with the ecu and motor.
