Yep ZC came in both versions.
The SOHC one puts out 120hp, while the DOHC puts out about 130hp.

be careful with the zc. unless you know the exact car it came out of, the hp range from like 120 to 135hp for the DOHC and less for SOHC.

Not all ZC are the same.

Nope, I think he had an accident with the car.

By the way, those were also available with FI and NA. If you had the NA ZC SOHC motor, and put the FI onto it, it gave you more than the SI motor here, with more torque to boot too.

ummm no.. ZC motors are similar to D-series but they aren't D-series motors. The engines are stamped "ZC" on them. ZC's are available in SOHC, SOHC VTEC, and DOHC.

You mean Dual Point vs. Multi Point Fuel Injection right? Cuz no civic ever came with a turbo or super.

Parts for the ZC aren't hard to find.
It basically uses most of the parts from an old school 'teg.

ummmmmm yes hence the European ZC aka D16A8 and D16A9.....the 86 to 87 D16A1 "ZC". the jdm SOHC ZC which is basically the D16Z6...just go here..like i said the zc is a general term used to describe some D-series motors

If they're D motors why are they stamped "ZC" on the block?

I don't doubt the SOHC ZC and D motors share similarities but they aren't the same. anyone who uses the term ZC to describe a D motor would be making a very broad generalization and an incorrect one.

ZC comes in DOHC, do D motors come in DOHC? no they don't. so you can't make this generalization.

F and H series motors share similarities as well. But they are also different motors.

It's all in the engine stamp.
