what engine do you have in your car now?

Nice choice in motor. I am currently driving with same swap and love it!!. However some will disagree. Great/cheap swap. What tranny you using? If SI basicly everything works with ZC. My advice is to change as much as possible on engine before dropping in. Save you a lot of headaces later on.Wiring needed (If SI or already MPFI) is to Extend 2 wires from 7 pin connecter to Cam sensor.Also dont forget to Cover these ports on manifold or RPM will be bouncy



Also you must trim out hood. if not timing cover will rub and could cause belt to slip teeth



The upper radiator hose is from a 84 Honda Accord and though it fits good it is a little long. It just has to be trimmed down a bit.

PM7 Ecu best for ZC because it is OEM ECU for this motor.However could be hard to find. I have got PG7 and fine enough.pulls harder than pm6 thats for sure. If you plan on going with pg7 the case is different.Just use Pm6 case and works perfect.

might have forgot something
oh well .GL

thanks. right now it has a b15b2 with a blown head gasket and wont pass emisions so im just gonna swap it and then run it threw. im not sure about the tranny i bought a civic with it already in it so im not sure. im guessing it came with the zc tho.
