theres a few of ZC's..They are JDM motors that came in civics in japan. You have the DOHC ZC, SOHC non vtec ZC and a SOHC vtec ZC. All producing around the same amount of HP
I'm sorry if I sound like too much of a noob, but what is a "ZC?" Is this some honda lingo I should know? I assume it has something to do with a certain engine? What do the letters mean? Is it like VTEC?
Sorry to come right of the box asking questions.
:IHI: That little guy is sooooooo cute! LOL

hehehe d16z5 is the tru zc (europ) (cat) (34teeth) and d16a8,a9 (non cat) (38 teeth camgear)
neither have i - i have seen D16A8/D16A9s and the ones i have seen were 34 teeth, just like a DOHC ZC - the only 38 tooth gears i know of are the SOHC D-series engines - 86-89 D16A1 and 85-87 JDM DOHC ZCs have 40 tooth gearswow, i've never seen a 38 tooth ZC.
just 34 tooth ZC and 40 tooth D16a1.
what size is the crank snout or inner diam. of the crank sproket???
yeah but where talking D series ZC DOHCthere are DOHC F-Series too....
Im not sure.. but d16z5, a8,a9 are all blacktops a8 the first ,a9 second and z5 the last . made in 88-92 europ versjons... this is ed9 chassi code crx only (europ) ee8 c-code are the b16a1 same years. But Im not 100% sure ... jgedynamic told me that a8,a9 (europ) has 38 teeth cam gears.. and different IM and cams. but if you say 40.. thats more like it i think... I just sendt them picturs of every thing 2/1 2007.. my d16z5 says pm7 on the oem camgears.. but so does the ecu and more...wow, i've never seen a 38 tooth ZC.
just 34 tooth ZC and 40 tooth D16a1.
