I did a google search for you and found this site:

they are saying that the sohc zc (d16a6), puts out 120hp. I don't know either way, sohc zc's seem to be rare.

i always thorught it was like 144hp, with a good amount of tq

I'm not sure on the HP rating but I did a ZC swap into a 89 Dx hatch and that shit ripped. I was suprised.... BTW the ZC is a twin cam 1.6l JDM engine. I beleive it has 10:1 compression... The swap sucked cuz I had to rewire it to multiport injection from the throttle body injection of the Dx.

actually there are two types of zc's, a sohc and a dohc. I believe it's d16a6zc or something like that. the sohc is rated about 120 at the crank if i remember correctly. I put one into a hatch a couple of years ago as a replacement motor. So it puts about 90hp to the wheels, which is still better than the stock usdm motor found in the ef's. I believe it cost a little under $500 at the time for the motor/tranny/ecu.
