[kwayzivietnamese]

Hey ppl...i havent heard much about this engine on this forum so just wanna ask question to you all regarding this engine.
As topics says, its a D16B ZC Carby engine...apparently available on the jdm. R these engines any good at all? Wot figures do these engines pull? Kw wise...
And the main questions is....what r these engines worth?
Any info would greatly be appreciated...thanks!

The ZC is the JDM EG SI (and for the CRX).

I never knew it was carbi tho... talk to SIKCVC he owns/ed an import ZC ... i woulda thought the SI was EFI tho, mayb its an earlier model from the ED/EF or something?

The JDM ZC Carb engine is a bad buy. It's off an auto gearbox and is only 110ps from memory, not the 130ps of the Fi version. It came out on some of the JDM 1G 'tegs I think - I do know a few yanks who got the motor and were really disappointed with it.

FYI: there were DOHC Fi, DOHC carb and SOHC Fi ZCs.

BTW: there is no such thing as a ZC/D16B motor - it's one or the other, not both.

SO IS THAT MEANS vtec IS NOT ONLY FOR EFI??

dual carb VTEC

[egSi]

****ing awesome.^^ :thumbsup:

props to the guy who brought back this dead thread :p

[chingaling]

so will it be cheaper to get that engine for my ed twin carby ? than a efi b16a? :) coz less hassle to re-wire the whole car

[sivic]

i'm pretty sure that SOHC VTEC was converted to carb. dont think any VTEC engine came carb stock. so you might have a hard time trying to find one lol.

[SINISTR]

thats true. Even Carby EG civics were only 1.5L not 1.6L let alone Vtec. this must have been a custom swap! good idea tho in a way - if you can't be stuffed swapping eFi system over just do the motor :P

[n/a]

i remember reading about USDM ZC is a single carb?

[sivic]

there was no USDM ZC.
ZC stamped varients only came from japan.
perhaps it was a carbed D16 of some kind, as they have a tendency to call nearly any D16 a ZC over there

[chingaling]

but i thought.. all VETCING... can only do it when its EFI... carburator is a different kind of thing... wtf.. im confused.. :zip: :confused:

[sivic]

VTEC involves cam timing/lift/duration.
carbs/EFI are fuel delivery methods.
no reason VTEC engines NEED to be EFI. if fuel can be delivered via a carb then it will work
