Ah can't take it must get engine!!!

arg need a b16a or a ZC! anyone wanna take bets on wether i can fool the smog testers to thining my zc i stock? ill bet i can.... and donations of engines will be accpeted :D :flipa:

alright so list up the parts for a zc swap into a crx i know i need the engine duh and an integra ecu but what axles should i get? ill just hook it up to my si tranny are a;; the zc guys gonna get in on this? 13secondcivic ill need your help getting to 13 seconds on my budget :D what did you do to swap it in?

I think, from memory, that 13secondcivic made 13 seconds with a 1.5L SOHC non-VTEC engine. Or was it a 1.6? Completely rebuilt. Am I right? Memory is a bit fuzzy.

it was a 1.6

You don't need axles if your using your stock tranny.IF your getting the whole zc swap then you'll need 90-93 integra axles. Other than its a str8 bolt on:)

really i thought you had to get the integra intermediate axles or something like that

Nope they bolt right in.:devil:

oh yea zc if definatly going in once i got the cash anyone wanna fly down and help me install?

Who has the time? :confused:

lol i dunno skynex you still getting the zc right? im probly gonna sneak mine in

You only need the teg intermidate shafts if you are going to use the zc transmission.

yea thats what i was trying to get at do you have one since you got a blown zc?

91b16sedan is my brother and yes the zc blew up on us. If you want to use the zc trans you will need to use the 90-93 integra intermediate shaft and axles. There is a way to make your own axles but I can't remember a page to explain it. I believe it is somewhere on the www.hybrid.honda-perf.org page.:)

owch that musta sucked big time

I do not think the ZC will pass CA emissions/smog or whatever with a Teg ECU. I have heaed of some peeps passing with an Si ECU, which means the motor runs like crap, but it only has to do that for the test. I would not run the Teg ECu if you are over there dude..I would try to find a ZC ECU pay someone to rechipp you an aftermarket one, like ZDyne.

And I also don't think you will like the ZC tranny, too many other things to do..intermediate shaft mumbo jumbo, etcetc...you might as well go b16..by the time you get a ZC with a ZC tranny you have spent almost as much $$ as you would on a b16, minus the mounts. The beauty of a ZC motor is that you can bolt it to your car directly AND the existing tranny, HF/DX/Si, even STD (except if i was going thru the trouble to swap a ZC in a STD hatch, I would put a different tranny in there) - The Si tranny has the tighest gearing, but I also hear a lot of peeps are happy with the DX tranny with a ZC.. I think the ratios are the same but the Si has a different final drive kicking everything up a notch on the ol' RMP meter ;).....and NO you can't have any of 91zc's parts - I am buying them :D
HTH :cool: - and if I am wrong I am sure someone will correct me :D

wait so if i just want the engine i dont have to do anything but put in the engine? and i would have to use the si ecu for tests? arg this sounds like a huge bitch to do maybe i will do b16a lol

i think the us si tranny is better for acceleration anyways.

yea but how will i pass emissions?

Move out of cali;)

I used my stock Si tranny and axels with my ZC motor. I also went out and grabbed the ECU from one of my friends 89 Integra LS that blew up on him. No troubles with the motor or anything else, so i think that should work like mine. :D
