the us spec d15 pulls the 107 ponies, not jdm.

i dunno any of the specs but i've heard that it pushes out anywhere between 137-142 hp...that motor moves...i wouldnt compare it to the d16y8 or z6 cause its basically a no contest...runs harder than an ls would in a 92-95 shell thats for sure, but if anyone finds out anything let me know im curioius as well

[GScivic7]

well, I did a little searching and came up with a site with someone who has that motor with an auto tranny. Says it's only 125 hp, and ran a 17.1 in the 1/4. I'd say it would give a d16y8 or Z6 a run for it's money.

[B16Z6+S20]

you all got it wrong! D16Z6 is fater and has mor HP than D15B, i know cause i have smoked many D15B on hatchs with my 94 ex coupe, the only D15 engine that coul be faster is the D15B2 that has a 3 stage V-TEC .you can chek it at http://www.leecao.com/honda/vtec/3stagevtec.html

this is a SOHC Vtec just like the Z6 buts its the JDM model or so im told. I witnessed it get pulled from a RHD DelSol before installing into my 90 hatch. And i beat Z6's and Y8's all the time I know it has more power then them and i was told from a HUGE importer in Portland Oregon where i bought the motor that it is the highest HP SOHC Vtec Honda has made. Whether all that is true or not I dont know?

[JDM90SiR]

Oh yeah its the D16ZC, Block stamp only reads ZC there for JDM

I would have to agree the D16Z6 is a better engine in my opinion, my buddy had a 4th gen hatch with a SOHC JDM ZC(non-vtec) turbo'd at about 1 bar and I could pull him through third gear in my EG6, stock with a C.A.I everything else is stock. Correction was stock. But everything really falls back on your driving.

Hey JDM90SiR how come you said you were TOLD it was a D/S motor and the guy you picked it up from SAID it was pulled out of a D/S, but you witnessed it being pulled out also, how does that work? I suppose someone TOLD you, you have a turbo sitting in your living room awaiting install?

I own a 1993 Civic Cx wich originally had he USDM 70hp D15B non-vtec. Then I swapped it for a JDM D15B SOHC V-Tec, put an Apexi V-tec airflow controller, Dc sports headers, greddy exhaust and a aem undercam pulley and let me tell you that with that engine and upgrades plus my very lightweight 2 thousand pound car it is fast! So if you ask me if I would rather spend over 3500 bucks on a B16A with tranny not installed over $1000 bucks for a JDM D15B Vtec With vtec controller I would say hell no. The money I saved can easily put a ball bearing turbo and take out most typical street ricers.

I got good news ....... I just saved money by switching over to D15B Vtec...

I was told by someone that it was a DelSol motor and i think I remember when picking it up that he said it had been removed from a RHD DelSol?

i just dropped a ZC any one know of any spec or upgrades

[CIVICJDMZC]

[quote=GScivic7]You have the D16Z6 not ZC. I believe the ZC motors never came with a VTEC head.[/QUOTEya i have ZC that is non-vtec

Holy shit, you could have just looked for an answer instead of making 6 posts about the same thing? Try here: http://thezcr.com/

its 111 ft/lb...think thats the same as a b16


i just traded my d15b7 coupe for a d15b hatch yesterday...the d15b is way faster then that coupe
