ZC is the japanese D16a9 dohc d-series.
The ZC vtec would be something else i guess...
Quote from Endyn:"The combustion chamber is a better shape than the DOHC.So don't chunk those 1.6 SOHC engines, they can make really good power. For a pure performance application, regardless of application, I'd choose the SOHC. No bull!"

there is a confusion with the ZC engines. Actually with this code there are the dohc non vtec 1.6 and some 1.5 sohc vtec engines. So you are talking about some d15b vtec engine jdm version with 130 some of which where lsd factory equipped. Are you looking for a engine swap or some mini-me conversion?

Should not be too difficult, engine should fit normally in the mounts. Getting it working should not be too hard. OBD1 conversion?

Im sure it would work but you would get a similar power output from a mildly tuned Z6 or Y8 which would be an easier swap :D
