ZC Questions

I am plannig on ordering my Zc this Friday. Were would be the best place to buy it? It's going in my 90 Si so I know my stock ECU will work. But which ECU would work the best? And when it comes to getting parts for this Engine, what model of car do I get them for?

Ecu's...

Pm6 (usdm Si) = Good
Pg7(88-89 integra) = Better
Pm7 (jdm Zc) = Best

The nice thing about the Pg7, is that its readily available, easy to find, and it has no speed limiter. The jdm one tops out at 115mph.

As for replacement parts, some come from 88-89 Integra, some from 88-91 Prelude, and some from 88-91 Si. Depends on what you need.

Thumbs up

Yeah...what he said - I would recommend www.hmotorsonline.com , or www.nippon-motors.com

When you get the motor, we'll help you get the wear items replaced before you drop it in. I would definitely recommend an ECU other than the pm6. Sure it works, but it isn't designed to run a DOHC motor...you'll be missing potential power...spend the money and get a Zdyne chipped for the ZC, or at least an 89 Integra ECU.

For starters - I would recommend to plan to replace the:
Timing Belt - 88 prelude Si
water pump - 91 CRX/Civic Si
plug wires - 89 Integra
plugs - 91 Civic Si
other belts (alt, etc..) - 91 CRX/Civic Si
I think you'll need rediator hoses too - I've heard conflicting stories on exactly which ones, but I think this is what I bought...lower = 91 CRX/Civic Si & upper - 89 Integra I think.

isnt this conflicting ... no speed limiter but tops out at 115? ... cause the other two listed were USDM ECU's ... for my personal info can i get a clarification?
