I have heard about this engine of late. Whats the deal? I assume it is a ZC block and a b16a head??? and is this engine setup any good?? can some one shed some light on this??

I don't think you could put a b16 head on a zc. I might be wrong.

You cant put a VTEC head on a ZC motor.
However there are rumors of a VTEC ZC stock, never seen one so I dont know.

You can put a SOHC VTEC head onto a ZC SOHC block without any problems, and you can do it on a DOHC block if you block the oil passages and run lines in their place.

the sohc zc vtec is basically like a USDM d-series sohc vtec

^^ yeah, it's pretty much the same as the D16Z6, OBD-I

 

[fastercar]

i have a sohc zc non vtec... Should of spent more money for a beefier motor, oh well, that is what forced induction is for...

 

[hondaboy09]

its known as the d16a6 its a sohc vtec also known as the zc

The jdm zcvtec is better then eny d16z6-y8. With bolt-on you can do 15.5. They have a better cam so the vtec kicks in harder. Very good engin for the price.
