Hey guys im new to this forum

i had a question for everybody, i have a 1990 civic hatchback with a ZC motor swap, i was wondering if i could swap a vtec head on the ZC motor. its a dohc motor.

 

No.

There is no better D-series head than DOHC ZC, so stop ------- around with gimmicky VTEC ----.

 

Thanks for your help just was curious if it would work or not.

 

Nope, DOHC ZC has the EW1/3/4 or D15A3 head bolt pattern, it's different. The SOHC ZC are like the 88+ D-series that are popular, and parts interchange with those.

Seriously, the ZC head ports are larger than the SOHC. You can swap in LS valves for a big valve head. Get a mild cam from anybody but JG (good grinds but good luck not getting ripped off) if you are shooting for 400+. They get a bad rep for not being VTEC but if you notice they are rated a little higher power.

 

can you do that with any d series head?

 

Nope, because the SOHCs are a failure design unlike the ZC which was what the LS is based off of.

 

Yes and if you have the 3rd gen zc you have the baller intake manifold. The dohc zc is a performer just forgotten. Very easy motor to work with and is a rev happy son of a bitch.

 

the only real honda engine is the dohc zc

 

only if served with orange chicken

 

i love my zc


and my oc
