Ok, the first generation Integra came with the ZC as did the 3rd, 4th and 5th gen Civics and the 1st and 2nd gen CRXs as well as the rover badged 'teg. Some Conchertos also came out with this motor too.
All were rated at 130ps (129bhp) except for the computer controlled twin-carb that came in one of the 'tegs making about 110 I think. This may just be the Japan built cars though, not the USDM. A great motor as long as it's not taken past 8000rpm, we had a 3rd gen import Si doing the circuits here which was putting out 200bhp NA in full mugen trim.

Just like any motor, if you take it past X rpms it will float valves and break rods... I will be handling these broblems with internals and aftermartket camshafts. Its just funny that dude thinks I cant overpower a B16A with ease with the JDM DOHC ZC.... LOL! I'll take the other $1000 and make the ZC as fast if not faster than the B16A1... I meen come on 9.5:1 CR ZC vs 10.2:1 B16A... Stick those pistons in the ZC and see what it does!
Actualy, why didnt honda put higher CR pistons in the DOHC ZC? Anyone know? Whas it just a matter of not wanting to spend the extra money? I think that must be it and they didnt want people throwing the weak rods in the ZC.... I hear horror stories about people snaping these rods like twigs @ 7800 Rpm's so that must be the reason... Cheap bastards! Hey sententa, since you guys have these motors were your @ can you give me a HP estimate on this setup? 11.16:1 CR pistons Eagle Rods (Good to 700+ hp) New billet cams Intake: durration 256 Lift 10.9 Exaust: Durration 256 Lift 9.2.... Think I can hit 8K and be cool with these as well? cam gears BBK 62mm TB Aem cold air intake Dc header and custom exaust Everything ballanced to 9K Point face titanium valves and a nice copper head gasket to hold it all in there

Seth, remember how you tried to convince me you had a '94 ZC, and they made ZCs through '98, well, when I looked into it, I could only find that the JDM '93 Integra had the ZC, so you might want to look on your block under your header at the date that is imprinted on the block. Whoever you bought the motor from might have BSed you.

Umm... actually, in the non US market the ZC powered the EG series of Civics. So that's to what? '96???? It lost the ZC tag and was marketed as a D16 (I cant remember the rest of the designation). It came out as an EG Si though, the VTi was the SOHC VTEC.
Seth - look at the ZC's Bore/Stroke ratio and work out the terminal velocity of the pistons at high RPM (where you will have to make power if you don't go forced induction). It's massively undersquare which gives it great torque, but does not make it anywhere into the league of the B16A as a revvable engine. The ZC is a great workhorse engine, but will never match a B16A in terms of what it can do. For forced induction it's fantastic, but its peak is about 200bhp NA if you are to spend thousands on it... but that's it. I'm not knocking it - it's a great engine... but it's not the greatest - nor is the B16A for that matter

yet another question to get yelled at for
Ok, now that I got some information about where to get an engine, I got to ask another question.
My car has an AT, which is ok, cause I'm a new driver. Like I said I want a little more power and options, so I want to go with a ZC. I hear that it will bolt right on, even to the tranny. I want to know if this will still work with my AT, if I need to get a new AT ZC tranny, or should just forget about the whole idea. I'm more interested in handling than power; windy roads than 1/4 mile times. I know the differences between manual and at. You don't have to convince me, but I got to work with the vehicle I got and a complete trasmission system change over is too expensive. Any info is appreciated.

You can keep your auto tranny. I had a ZC with an auto.. Here's some OLD pics of its uglyness.

5G (1992-1995) EG5 - n/a - JDM - All years - (ZC DOHC) As far as 6G is concerned, there weren't any in Japan. So I guess you could have a '94 JDM ZC then, but that would also mean the last year was actually '95, but I can't find a resource of EDM engine specs for various models. If someone has a link, they should post it up. Quote:

And yet I live in Australia and have driven the ZC/D16 powered EG. The car was built in Japan, all Hondas are for our market. Not calling you stupid for assuming that the internet is always right or nothing, but go figure :finger: :finger:

Yea... UM it has to be newer than 91... Because I know for a fact all the JDM DOHC ZC motors from 88-91 had a date taged in between cyl #2 and #4... So if it were a 1988 it would have 88 stamped on the head... Mine says..... Noting, there is no numbers there so I have to assume that its a 92+. Not to mention its WAY to clean to be more than 10 years old! When I cracked the bitch open all the internals were clean...
Yes, I am "GIVING" the motor to greg for the small fee of course, getting it out of my hair after I'm done with the swap He's also getting the 9.6:1 ZC pistons and the rods... I think when you throw these in the A6 it yields a much higher CR... Anyone know for sure?
