does anyone know the specs of the sohc zc engine... i cant find anything on horsepower or anything... if you know anything let me know... thanks

 

A sohc ZC is basically a D16A6 with a different cam. Stock, I think they make something like 110 - 114 hp.

It might actually be cheaper getting a D16A6 and a cam for it, then spending the money on a sohc ZC.

ZC sohc VTEC - same as D16Z6 - 130hp

 

There is no ZC vtec, your talking about the jdm d15b vtec. I've heard the same about the soch zc, about 115-120hp.

 

Straight from the Honda Japan archives:
sohc ZC...no vtec
120 PS @ 6300rpm (that's 118 hp to most of us)

 

Just go with a dohc ZC

 

one of my good friends has a sohc zc, they are pretty quick, and pretty cheap

 

Yeah they are tough little motors....and they pull on a6's a little.

 

i can take the si crxs pretty good... noone with an all motor crx with the same bolt ons as me has beat me... even the vtec ones..... i dont know but i like the engine but i just wanted to know the specs.... do you know of any websites about the sohc zc? and i can stay with a b16 crx through 2nd gear but i lose it in 3rd... need more top end...

 

The SOHC ZC is a d15b . The JDM D15B had a 3stage vtec motor that put out around 130hp, and had great emissions. It was offered in 92+ civics in JDM. D15B found in 88-91 cars was a non-vtec dual point POS.

I don't know how you know sooo mu ch about that d15b and not know about the earlier model ZC.. which is NON-Vtec and puts out 130ps or 118 HP .. it definetly has some pull on stock SI's .. i have sohc zc in my car :-) is good and pretty inexpensive, looks relatively identical to the d16a6 but has ZC stamped on the block

single stage d15b vtec motors are around too newb. ohh not to mention the sohc zc is stamped ZC and only has one cam, like the dude one post up said

 

there is a sohc zc vtec....its basically a jdm d16z6. its rated at 130ps. ive actaully seen a couple sohc zc vtec motors at a local jdm engine importer here in san diego.

 

this should clear things up for ya'll

Okay...I hate parrots.

You want the real skinny straight from the Honda archives, copy this URL...

http://www.honda.co.jp/factboo....html

and paste it into Babelfish http://world.altavista.com

Then maybe we can relate some correct information...

 

a d15b sohc vtec is basically a d15z1 block (92-95 civic hatch vx) with a d16z6 head (92-95 civic ex/si)

 

oh yea and the jdm SOHC zc vtec = can/us d16z6 's

 

to clear this confusing *** thread up there is:

sohc zc (non-vtec)
dohc zc (non-vtec)
sohc zc (vtec)

sohc zc (non-vtec) has: wilder cam and ~30% better flowing head than a d16a6. i've also read it's though to have the same domed pistons as the dohc zc, thus increasing compression over the d16a6, but that may not be true.

the other zc's i know nothing about...
