Hi guys, thanks for loooking. I have been searching and searching and so far have decidedto go with either the SOHC or the DOHC ZC D16 JDM OBD0 for my 90 Civic DX. I decided on these two due to the ease of the swap. This will be my dd and I'm not trying to make a racer, just a dependable dd with decent mpg and the abililty to pass others.
I have a couple of questions I could not find the answers too and I'm hoping you can help. I found the Honda Engine List here in the tech section and I noticed I'm looking at around 129HP for a JDM ZC DOHC if its the 9.6:1 compression. Good improvement over the 92HP stock motor that was in my car.
Questions:
-What is the HP rating for the OBD0JDM ZC SOHC motor. I see the D16A6 has a HP rating of 108, is this the same as the JDM ZC's being sold?
-Are all the OBD0 JDM DOHC ZC's 137HP as they are being advertized?
-Anyone have any real mpg numbers for theOBD0 JDM ZC SOHC vs the JDM ZC DOHC?
It seems no one has the DOHC in stock for the time being and I'm looking at paying around 450 for a SOHC and anywhere from 650-800 for a DOHC if and when they are in. If the HP rating of a ZC SOHC isn't that much less than the DOHC I will probably just go with that due to it being cheaper and available now since my stock motor went tits-up.
Thanks for the help
