What kind of Civic is mine? New to this group, just picked up this new civic from a friend, and I'm also new to Civic too, I've done a couple of times research and found out that mine has a JDM ZC engine, but how do I identify if it has 1.6L or 1.5L? the previous owner told me that this was imported from Japan for Americans so the steering wheel is still on the left side, and also said this is an MX model which I can't find any relevant information online but LX trim info from the VIN number, so idk. Please help me to get to know more about this car as I tend to have this car to be my daily. 1995 Honda Civic MX or LX sedan https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...96343b955c.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...14bbb4476e.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...5018ced34f.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...965ea7a1c9.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...90631d4798.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...442ac98b05.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...b6503d8550.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...704e0621e7.jpg |
Re: What kind of Civic is mine? This will be a single cam ZC which is a 1.6. Not sure if the Honda production was in Alliston yet at that point, but it sounds to me like it's nothing more than a plain Jane LX with a slightly different engine in it (done later in its life - not from factory. Chassis code was never offered with this engine). Some were have been produced in Japan but it makes no sense for there to be what's essentially a JDM LHD Civic. The MX was never offered here and there wouldn't be some obscure version of that in such a pedestrian car (obviously referring to what's essentially a base civic minus some minor add-ons, not anything further such as the Type R). |

Mine has a VTEC solenoid on it if I'm not wrong, but VTEC lettering was not casted on the head? https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...556a7c20c9.png https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...300abf580b.png |
Re: What kind of Civic is mine? That looks like it may be a shift solenoid. Safe to assume you have an auto tranny? Look behind the valve cover around here for a VTEC solenoid. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...4f010a79b9.png |

One last question for my ZC engine, is it roughly equivalent to the D16A6? ZC-2230934 JDM ZC 1.6L SOHC obd0 *Non-VTEC? and I think you're right about the shift solenoid. I don't think mine is a VTEC engine if I ref to the following link and the pictures. https://www.civicforums.com/forums/1...-zc-motor.html https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...f4640549c1.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...b5742aae29.jpg |

Forgive him, he's traveling around right now and may be a bit less attentive. Get your ish together Sandro. lol Yeah, dude has a JDM "ZC" engine in that EG8. The SOHC 1.6 ZC is apparently akin to the D16A6 from what I found. Not sure what the differences would be, if any, unfortunately, or how much it's compatible with D16Y7 or Y8 parts, since parts for the D16Y7/Y8 would likely be easier to find stateside |
