D16A1 = ZC???
 

found a listing for a DOHC 1.6 D16A1 for 86-89 integras, is this the USDM version of the ZC?

if so why do they call it the ZC instead of the D16A1??

just wondering, thanks

Answer is no.

zc there are like 4 general versions of the zc

-dohc zc (typically brown top = 1st/3rd gen ----)
-dohc zc (typically black top = 2nd/4th gen ----)
-sohc zc
-zc vtec

and there are variations of obdX for a few of them


The d16a1 would be closest to the brown top/first gen ----. If you have a 88+ civic/crx just drop the thought. not a direct bolt in, but it has been done (semnos did it I believe).

yup the bracket on the driver side is a pain.
I chopped a normal D-series pracket en welded a piece of plate to it with a hole for the arm thingy to bolt to the block.
I just bolted the tranny with 4 bolts to the blok. The brown top ZC was the strongest ZC i had in my car though...the black tops seemed kinda weak compared.

^^^^
Internals wise?

There's like a 15hp difference between a 1st gen Teg motor and a DOHC ZC.

Define weak?

wrong and wrong trans is different housing is different mounts are different so ya it has nothin in common besides its a 1600 dohc non vtec and the intake manifold also sucks balls compared to a zc. Short answer no its not close to a dohc zc
