I have a 95 EX with a JDM SOHC VTEC ZC motor. Can i buy a standard Civic EX turbo kit and fit it on here. I know the compression is higher than the USDM Civic, will that screw with the turbo.

Last question Revhard, Greddy, or DIY???

I never knew that there was a sohc zc vtec. I know of the one that is basically a d16a6. So what I am saying is i dont really know what engine you have and the compresion ratio.

It's basically the JDM version of the usdm a6 ?? It has higher compression and higher redline and like 5 more hp than the stock motor for the same car.

The car is a 95 Civic EX Sedan. The motor is not.

JDM DOHC ZC = US D16A1 with a serious power boost.
JDM SOHC ZC = US D16A6 with a good power boost.
JDM SOHC VTEC ZC = US D16Z6 with a couple extra horsepower.

Use a turbo kit for the D16Z6. Difference in compression will require a finer tuning.

cool. Do ya think all of the bolts will line up. Cause i may go the N/A route until i get the dough for the snail. I can always sell the header & etc.

The exhaust manifold bolt pattern is the same, and the intake manifold should be close enough to use the same charge pipe. Everything else doesn't really matter.

So its non vtec then.

I don't belive that there is that much difference in compression.
3rdgenlxi,
How much power are you looking to make?

3rdgenlxi

200 whp but i've also got to be able to pass strict Atlanta emissions.

Invest in your tuning. If you were to run hondata, and a quality set-up (drag or revahard would be a good kit if you ditch the fmu/inline fuel pump) you should have no problems passing emissions. Do you have to pass a visual? Or is it just the sniffer?
