ZC into newer 92+ ???

Ok I just came upon a weird revelation...

So I was just thinking about swaps and I was talking about how the ZC, even though it doesnt have VTEC is still a pretty bad ass motor ~ and if I didnt have to covert my 93 CX to cable I would have one. But then I thought, wait a second... the ZC is a D series motor... so wouldnt my D series hydro tranny bolt upto the ZC motor? I mean since im not using the tranny does it matter that its hydro tranny???

Im sure someone with half a brain can confirm this for me :p

I don't do 4th gens but I don't think D-series 4th gens have everything in common with d-series 5th gens. And would do me a favor and STOP LOOKING FOR SECOND RATE SWAPS. Patience has its virtues :)

Well 5th gen D-series aren't totally compatible with 6th gen d-series so the cable to hydro jump should've changed ALOT of things.

And yes second rate. Blown D16Z6's, D16 Head swaps, now ZC's. Dude..2.2 liters of fury don't compare to that :)

i like 2.2 liters.

LoL...Well it's not exactly those 2.2 liters. :)

my friend swapped his CX stock for a ZC.....should i have been picking on him all this time??? :confused: :confused:
















i better make up for lost time..

Because even same series engines had changes from generation to generation. A header from a D16Y8 isn't exactly going to fit my D15B7.

Don fugg wid me j00 eediot! :finger:

There was actually a real EG hatchback somewhere not in this country that came w/ ZC (renamed a D-series code_ stock.

BUt..uh..nick

IT'S CALLED EMBEZZLEMENT :D muahahhaahahaha


Save...wait..be patient :D

Plus..the ZC is basically the same as a D16Z6.

Both have around 130hp.
both 1.6L and have about same torque numbers.
one has 2 cams and one has VTEC.

It balances out.

later

First of all, this swap would be illegal since ZC engines were only made in 91 and before... for a swap to be legal the engine has to be the same year as the car or newer.

Secondly, yes the ZC is a d-series engine and will bolt directly up to your d-series tranny perfectly... all you will have to do is put the flywheel from your current engine on the ZC...

For more info then you could possibly ask for about either ZC engines or anything else, just talk to the guys on the 4th gen board (that's where I came from)... we 4th gen'ers are friendly and helpful.

Ok, so I'm not currently a 4th gen'er but it's my roots (see my screen name?).

Hey sparq, don't you sell swaps? I would think that for someone who sold swaps you would have a nice swap by now. Have you sold any swaps yet? Just wondering. Have a nice day. :)

Don't get angry! I was just asking a question. Sheesh! You sound so defensive. Well, I'm glad you have sold a lot of swaps. Good for you, hope you are making money hand over fist. Wish I had the resources to start up my own business, but fo sheezy my car would be hella hooked up, kinda like a rolling advertisement (minus all the stickers). :D

LMFAO no Rene is right... dont take it personal, I wasnt being defensive I was just saying RIGHT NOW, I have some more important things that I have to worry about before I go swapping.. just like all you other guys have school and bills and crap, what you think cause I got a business I aint got bills too? :finger:

Oh, believe me, I wasn't taking it personally. Anyone who takes something said on the internet personally is a moron.

By the way, I'm so glad that the OT whores aren't in here tonight. Its rediculous in there. OT is at an all-time low. How sad. One word posts and conversations that could be had over AIM and PM's. :(

Hey man, you know they make a 92 obd1 zc for the 92-95 civics. It came out of a JDM 92 civic. It's OBD1, and they only made it for one year. they are very rare, and very hard to find. But, if you can find it, it is a great swap. It's already got a hydro tranny, obd1 wiring, mounts that bolt up, and it has the same exact specs as the ZC that is made for the 88-91 civic/crx's. I just finished installing one in my 1990 civic hatchback. i had to switch to cable tranny, and change all the sensors and wiring. Believe me, it's a bitch. You, however, have the car this motor is made for. You should look for one. I've seen these go for around $700-$1000. I bought mine just the longblock for $550 and i used a 89 zc tranny.

Why don't you just do the 5th gen ZC swap. It is a SOHC 1.5L VTEC that puts out 130 horses. Did you look into that swap? You would just need the motor.
