nippon motors, soshin trade, Hhonda motors online (hmotors) ect...

to put the motor in your car u will need a DX distro plug and like 6in of wire for the cam angle sensor THATS it u might want to upgrade to 90-93 integra disk brakes cuz the ZC in considerably faster than the stock Si motor (D16a6) so u will need some better stoping power or upgrade with some FASTBRAKES setups they have nice stuff to

so far as the motor swap goes its pretty much the same as taking your old motor out and putting in the DOHC ZC dont get the SOHC ZC its the same motor u got now also u might want to get a 88-89 teg ecu it has a higher redline (7200rpm) so u might want that to get the full potential out of the ZC consider putting in new stuff like hoses tune up parts new TB new water pump ect.... also it really helps to run slightly hotter plugs and put the ignition timming at 16-14deg BTDC the ZC tends to runn a little better but i will dyno tune it to make sure :D well thats about it the ZC is a really fun to drive motor yes its a little slow compared to a Sir swap (B16) but i still like the fact that they go for $500 and u dont gotta do much to make em really quick also u gotta run 91oct gas

FIND THE ZC manual on the hybrid honda website...it has helped me soooo much u will not regret the 16mb download or i can sell you one in a binder printed out already for $20 http://tech.hybridgarage.com/tech/index.html

iv got a zc swap in my 91 si and all i had to change was a radiator hose. it was from an 86 accord but i dont remember if it was the upper or lower. anyways not really major but it helps to know. sides that evo pretty much covered it. i got mine from nippon-motors.com fr about $600.
