ZC specs...dohc, sohc, vtec etc.

The only thing I have to add is that PS does not equal HP.
1 pferdestarke(ps) = 0.9863201 horsepower(hp). So, 120ps = 118.35hp.

HumanResource posted this over on D-Series...best ZC break down I've seen to date.

With all the misinformation spread across the internet, this post is to clarify the misconceptions about “ZC” engines.

In earlier “Hybrid” years (1996-1997) many people were buying DOHC 1590cc engines stamped “ZC” from engine importers. These engines were popular upgrades for Civic/CRX chassis providing ~130ps with bolt in ease. This engine was called “THE ZC” for quite a number of years, and even today people still consider this twin cam the ONLY ZC. Engine importers received a variety of other engines stamped “ZC”. The “ZC” stamp alone cannot identify the engine’s designation. The only thing one can assume is that ALL engines stamped “ZC” displaces 1590cc. “ZC” stamped engines were offered with a number of design variations throughout the years of production.
Here’s a TIMELINE of the different “ZC” engines manufactured that I have noted thus far:

    Admin Edit: The following information only applies to smogged states.

    Well that's good info. But unfortunately ZC motors or illegal in the US. But other then that, putting a b20 into a civic wagon and/or wagovan is a big favorite here. Put of course it's a USDM B20.

    Anyone know how to make a JDM motor legal in the US? Thinkin on putting a K20A or a JDM B20 block with a JDM B18 head
