ZC in CRX

hey, i dont own a 1G CRX yet but i'm thinking of buying something older and swapping my ZC from my 4g civic into the CRX, just wondering what alls involved and what model i should look for, the reason behind this is i want something cheaper on insurance then my 4g hatchback altho i will be keeping the hatch for future just because its my first car.

I don't think the d16 ZC's will fit in a 1st gen without major modification... If you get an Si, you'll allready have MPFI, and you could drop in a d16a1 from an integra 86-87 with no modifications whatsoever. There are other options... b-series like my plan entails... But as for putting a 4th gen motor in ours is pretty much a not going to happen thing... Hate to break it to ya, Phat... Just get it, and grab the d16a1... lxndr has experience in that issue. :D Oh, and



Welcome to the dark side!!!

lol, well i still havent purchased one yet, so we gotta wait and see, it will be after my court shits all settled first before i get one. its weird tho because i've seen a few 1G CRX's with DOHC ZC's in em. but if u say it cant be done then thats ok, i'll get a d16a1 somehow, mod that, and throw it in :) and i can still have my hatch to have fun with.... but this all depends on insurance rates

There is a JDM d16a out of the JDM integra that might be considered a ZC... I just know that the d16a1 is a direct drop in! No wiring modifications or engine mount problems. Just have to grab the ECU out of the integra and swap it out. And it's a DOHC motor. So, extra power on tap.

alright, awesome, thanx man :) if its cheaper on insurance i'll start looking for one :)

ZC = JDM D16A1
there is another ZC which i believe is a B series SOHC motor. ZC just means that it's the top of a paticular engine family
