The ZC Motor

where do you think would be the best place to buy a good runnning zc motor, i want one that i don't have to rebuild. and what are some pros and cons of the ZC. also i'm pretty sure it does but will a sohc turbo kit on the zc motor??

yes a 92-95 civic turbo kit fits with slight modding to the intake and exhuast manifold port sizes, it has 130hp and 108lb ft, you can find them anywhere really, they are very common.

check out www.hmotorsonline.com i got my b16 from them good company, or i think www.nippon-motors.com or you can call your local shop should be able to get one for you.

i would try wither of the places mentioned above. they are both in cali :)

you can also fit the junkyard style turbo to a ZC.

ditto - what they said ..heard good things about both companies.

Even if you don't plan to rebuild...you should at least plan on a new timing belt, water pump and plug wires. who knows how long these engines have been sitting..it is much easier to replace most of these parts when the engine is OUT of the car ;-)

Timing Belt - 88 Prelude 2.0 Si
Water Pump - 88-91 Civic/CRX Si
Plug wires - 89 Integra

HTH - :cool:

how much do you think shipping would run on the zc?

it was $200 to have my y8 shipped from Ohio to Oregon. i couldn't imagine it being too much more

700 for a zc shipped with start up warrenty is good right?

if it's being shipped from CA, then yes thats not bad. the place's reputation is what really makes it worth it or not.
