JDM ZC
I was looking in the engine bay of my friends 88 JDM import mk2 glasstop 16-16v crx and noticed that the engine code was just stamped ZC. Thought it was a little strange that there wasnt any numbers on it. Just thought somebody may know why?

RE: JDM ZC
But why just zc? All the other jdm engines ive come across just have the number missing off the end. Does the zc have more horsepower than an a6?

RE: JDM ZC
Actually it's not the A6. The A6 is a SOHC non-VTEC, while the ZC comes in SOHC VTEC and DOHC non flavors. The DOHC is the JDM variant of the EDM D16A8/9 (depending on generation) and the SOHC doesn't really have a USDM or EDM equivalent. I don't exactly know why they're just designated ZC.
The SOHC ZC is definitely not the same as a Z6.

Actually the DOHC ZC is the same as the USDM D16A1 and I was wrong above I dont know what I was thinking but Kappa the SOHC ZC is nearly the exact same as a Z6. Stroke, bore is the same, compression is the same, the head is also stamped with a P08 number meaning it has a Z6 head on it along with a Z6 cam and valve terrain.

But no, the DOHC isn't the same as the D16A1 (this is a VERY common misconception). It's a D16A8/9 (depending on generation).
