jdm dc...

[[SDCTVE]]

i saw a jdm 4 door dc, but it had a 1.6 engine and it wasnt a b16 or a d16, what could it be????

[m3ntAL_l2]

a civic with jfd front

[blahZ]

where did u see it
did u take any pics?

[[SDCTVE]]

i actually know the owner, he moved down from nz and he brought the car with him, i had a look on the rego sticker n it says sumthing like zc16 i dont remember.... but i didnt get to look under the bonet...

[blk_shadow]

that should be a zc engine shouldn't it?

[[SDCTVE]]

ye but whats a zc engine? i didnt know that engine existed??? is that the cars original engine or has it been swapped?

[Kiz_EG6]

There was a ZC variant of the D16A, being a DOHC, non vtec 1.6 litre, but you would not have seen it in anything as new as a DC2!!

This engine was found in cars like the JDM EG Si civic and Si CRX, late 80's, early 90's!

I could assume that there MAY have been a JDM 4-door (rover) version of the 86-88 integra with this engine, as our 2 door model came with a D16A in it, but i can only speculate!

[honda_ek4]

look on the engine block, there should be the engine number engraved onto it.
but if its a zc motor its a d16 found in eg si's and some others

[[SDCTVE]]

yea... weird, im pretty sure its like a 94 model or something....

ok, after a bit of research, i found out that the zc 1.6 engine is the stock engines that come in the 4 door integra, they were released from 1st thru to 3rd generation but only in japan (also some in the us), but the integra i saw isnt called DC2 or DC4 but DB8 (not sure what the DA9 variant is called).... but still leaves me asking the question, why zc?? when honda could've used a B engine or even D?

excess stock. just like how they unloaded d-series into the hrv for a few years to get rid them

[cristian]

zc engines are a dime a dozen in the states...
he probably did some overnight parts from torretto...:D

but yeah, i seen plenty on US forums about their zc mods...but never seen the motor sit in anything newer than an EG

as others have said , its excess stock.
Also , remember the "ZC" dohc is exactly the same as a local D16a8 (found on the gen 2 CRX , and EG Si civic). 96kw is ok :)

db8 is a four door dc2
da9 variant is called a db2 ...

[faijai]

integras also came in single cam versions in japan called dc1.
google it. dc's had other engines besides b18's
