ZC Help
I am going to be getting a ZC DOHC and i have a couple questions. I have a 1990 Honda Civic EX w/ the d16a6 and i was wondering if my existing tranny and ECU will work with the ZC, or will i have to get new ones.

I know on my ZC I had one plug left over from the DX harness not plugged into anything. It was for a sensor the DX had that the ZC does not.
As for vacuum hoses the MAP sensor one goes into the throttle body and the one for the emissions valve is just left unhooked. That EX is basically an Si Sedan so it is plug and play except for you will want to transfer some wires from the A6 distributor and run it to the cylinder position sensor on the exhaust cam.

yes, their is an extra plug on the harness that is not used, and the red vacuum hose on the top left on the engine bay is not used, just cap it off with a bolt or golf tee.

About how long should a full swap take (taking out d16a6 and putting in the ZC DOHC and making everything run)
