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??
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.
there is a sohc zc vtec motor in japan and this week i actually saw this motor at a japanese importer place. it was SOHC...the valve cover said VTEC ...and the engine block was stamp ZC. heres the info on the place:

you guys ever wonder why another name for the b16a motor is ZCG?
yes there is somthing special about the zc vtec i have one in my 92 cx ..i will beat any stock 99 si..!! I am stock only with intake and exhaust..Its not even a race between me and a eg si..It pulls like a b16
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.
