Does a DOHC have VTEC?
, A mechanical engineer who wants to study life science ! Dohc means duel overhead camshaft and VTEC is a technology for variable valve timing and electronic lift control.it is a technology developed to control the lift of valves at different speeds. Frank Schmitt has the best answer and the best explanation of VTEC.
Which is the smallest DOHC engine in a Honda Civic?
The smallest DOHC VTEC engine is the legendary B16A. A 1595cc 160-170ps engine that first appeared in the 1989 Honda Integra XSi and RSi, it now powers the famous Civic SiR models. The B16B is a special hand-tuned super high output derivative of the B16A giving 185ps and used in the Civic Type-R.
What’s the difference between SOHC and DOHC ZC engines?
There are both SOHC and DOHC ZC engines. The non-VTEC SOHC ZC is similar to the D16A6 (’91–’96) and D16Y4 (’96–2000) engine, but with more aggressive cam timing. The SOHC VTEC ZC is similar to the D16Z6 (’91–’96). The DOHC ZC is similar to the D16A1, D16A3, D16A8, D16A9 and D16Z5 engines.
Can a DOHC ZC bolt into a Honda Civic?
The DOHC ZC will bolt right in to the 88-91 CRX/CIVIC no fabricating or welding is needed The swap can use your existing wiring harness if you have an SI, if you have a DX then minor modification is necessary. There is info on this procedure at the Honda Hybrid Page
What kind of engine does a Honda ZC have?
2nd Gen ZC (rarest) Identified by: Internal coil, large distributor, single butterfly TB mounted on slight angle forward, bolts on top of cam cover, black cam cover, large cam pulleys. +7cc PM7 pistons, 43 cc Pent roof combustion chamber.
Is the Honda ZC engine a domestic engine?
The positive aspects of this engine include the price; DOHC design, availability and both engines are directly bolt in. The ZC is a Japanese Domestic Market engine and was featured in the CRX Si. And because this engine is D-series it will work with all D-series cable transmissions.
There are both SOHC and DOHC ZC engines. The non-VTEC SOHC ZC is similar to the D16A6 (’91–’96) and D16Y4 (’96–2000) engine, but with more aggressive cam timing. The SOHC VTEC ZC is similar to the D16Z6 (’91–’96). The DOHC ZC is similar to the D16A1, D16A3, D16A8, D16A9 and D16Z5 engines.
What kind of transmission does a Honda ZC use?
Either the D16Z ECU is used, or the stock ECU is retained and a VTEC controller added. *Remember, all 4th Generation Honda’s use cable transmissions while 5th and 6th Generation Honda’s use hydraulic transmissions. The ZC engine is one of the hardest to identify because there are many different versions of this engine.
