Dude...a ZC is a D-series motor.. They stamp ZC on the block, but the block is basically the same as a US Si motor (d16a6) - the head and intake manifold is for sure different, making the 20+ HP difference. The d16a9 is the European version of the JDM ZC, but as far as I know, they are identical. I used an '88 CRX d16a9 Honda manual to rebuild my JDM ZC motor.

Emil..i missed the video first time around...go ZC go!!!

Good luck with your b16a2 now, since you blew up your ZC...errr...sorry...your d16a9 heh heh

Anyone speak from experience?

More in the bottom end, less in the top end of the RPMs unless you are prepared to put the boot right in with the B16A, the ZC builds its power curve a lot lower down although torque is almost as good as the B16A.

The B16A gearboxes will not give you as good top speed, comparing the ratios will show you why, but will get you off the mark quickly. The gearboxes were designed with each engine's characteristics in mind.

Having run against CRXs in Australia (all were fitted with the ZC), I can still outrun them on the second gear change - them modified and me stock standard and carrying 100kilos more weight than them. Right up until I hit 180 and the speed limiter cuts in - DOH!

Here you can see all my mods done to that car

With that Ba16A2 engine I have big plans But we'll see if I'll reach them...

[emil13si]

The last drag I had with that engine was against the 4th gen VTEC civic (150HP) I must admit that even if they mesured me 163HP I had problems with that civic cause my rpm limit was somewhere arround 8000rpm and his is 8400-8500rpm so that is alot, it was very hard to keep up with it (civic VTEC) cause when I shift in next gear he had 500rpm left so he could change gear later and there I lost a lot...

So we were basiclly side by side till the end of drag!!!

But with my new engine and all the mods I'm planing to do I hope that I'll smoke even ITR and later with some turbo help even S2000, big plans for my next three years , but till the end of this year I'll put in tunned B16(enough to smoke ITR) and then save money for DRAG turbo

Alright setanta, you know alot about this stuff but, ok gear ratio's on the tranny are calculated using mathematical formulas. The engine revolutions are measured at the crank, crank's connected to the flywheel, clutch contacts the flywheel, is there some way that there it some revloutions lost there in the change from the size of the crank to the size of the flywheel, ok i think I'm wrong nevermind.

My STD does 105 in third gear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Setanta]

Ummm... well actually, I just pulled the figures straight from Honda's website instead and then applied final drive ratios to it. Easier than trying to use much else - but if you look at my gear top speeds and compare 'em to emils plus against VTiR 'tegs, other Civics etc... you'll see I'm right :finger:

[emil13si]

Shit it almost past one year since I blew my engine...and I still didn't fully build my B16A2 :0(
I hope that next month it'll be in car and runin with full power cause this month the engine is going to be build and then the hardest part of them all wireing it...I'l prolly put the 6th gen VTI tacho in cause the one that I have now has cable speedo and the new one has electronic one...
So when I'll put my new monster in I'll post new video so we'll see if there is any improve in times and speed...

Geez - you dug this thread out for me Emil :P

How's things your side of the world

Hope you get the car up and running soon.

Cheers

NOP I didn't bring it up cause of you...
We have some missunderstandings and that is forgotten I just watched a video and check that post again and it was like a year ago(last post) and if all it would go by my plans I would be driving around with my civic...

Ohhh yeah and one more thing if you by any freakin chance get in deal with Italians if they say that you'll get merchandies(parts) in two weeks period prepair your self to wait at least three month...SUCKERS that is what they did to me (pistons deal)

We did some calculations and if I'll rew new engine 9000 rpm top speed will be nice too :0)
