not gonna happen.. ive asked many times years ago

[hondajosh]

NO, do a search you will see why

[crxdude]

i thought you could do a "mini me" conversion or something like that w/sohc vtec from like a 96 civic ..im not sure

Doubt it. I think if there was a way to make a DOHC ZC have vtec, it would have been done already and this question wouldn't be asked.

Are you talking about removing the DOHC head and replacing with a SOHC head?

[DOHCef8si]

dude if u want a dohc vtec engine buy b16.even if u could put a vtec head on zc block it prob. wont be worht the time or money to even try.not to piss anyone off im jsut tried of seeing the same question over over over over again.people need to learn to fuction of a search button.

[d-ranged]

it has been said that the v-tec is'nt all that much more powerful than the nonv-tec. really all it is is just louder. how much truth that holds i don't know.my engine is a zc 1.6 sohc, but mine came with v-tec.

[rhdef7]

sure it's called a b16 though!!!!!!!! vtec just gives you the little xtra bump in power from i think 5800 to 8200 rpms(b16) and type R go to like 9000 rpms or something

ok this is like DOHC ZC law , you cant put a SOHC VTEC or any SOHC head on a DOHC ZC block , you cant use integra LS cams in a DOHC ZC, cant use a D series manifold on a DOHC ZC . and the B16 is 158hp and 111ft lbs and $1500 or more and the DOHC ZC is 137hp and 109 ft lbs for like $750. called best bang for your buck , and with small mods you will walk on most b16s . hope this will help

yea jh... not all dohc zc's are fast tho.. i had one with cai/h/e and the rare p29 obd1 ecu with fpr at 48, dohc zc trans and homemade axles...

the funneist thing.. my vx motor d15z1 vtec - e still ran a faster time at the track

well you must have did something wrong

[DOHCef8si]

lol walk on zc i hate to tell u but i have a dohc zc and u just dont walk on b16s like u think u do.lol noobs.

[crxdude]

and i thinkn the exhaust mani WILL FIT all you got to do is dremmel out the ports a little. i asked this and that is wut i got?

yep thats all u gotta do.. dremel em out

[siregcivic]

idk what i could have done wrong..i have been driving/working on hondas for 9 years now.. i honestly dont think i could have messed it up.. i was always messing with it.. making sure the cam timing was right making sure it was getting enough fuel.. never made a difference it was slow..

my friend has a dohc zc and his is fast even with 17's its still fast

zc IS the best bang for the buck, i dont give a shit what anyone says...they are tuff as nails...ive beat my friends time at the track, he pulled a 9.7 in his b16 eg hatch...i pulled a 9.5 in my ef with less then $1000 in the whole swap...even pulled a ls swaped crx 3 times at the track..

Design, cast and machine your own head and cams. But it's jsut not worth it.

bwah... ive ran a 9.66 with a d16z6 intake exhaust total of 400 into the setup... also ran a 15.15 in the 1/4

... i got a race cam from a friend ran a 9.33 spinning all the way down the track... through the finish line

zc's are fast tho.. theres no arguement.. just the one i had was slower then a vx motor.. had some nice tq.. just shit for top end

[pimpindistress]

i think the problem might have been your transmission or maybe you had a crappy clutch

[jimmyb34]

my zc is vtec... lol
