[SiRedge]

I think, from memory, that 13secondcivic made 13 seconds with a 1.5L SOHC non-VTEC engine. Or was it a 1.6? Completely rebuilt. Am I right? Memory is a bit fuzzy.

[jeef]

it was a 1.6

You don't need axles if your using your stock tranny.IF your getting the whole zc swap then you'll need 90-93 integra axles. Other than its a str8 bolt on

[spy54]

really i thought you had to get the integra intermediate axles or something like that

[SkyNex721]

Nope they bolt right in.

[spy54]

oh yea zc if definatly going in once i got the cash anyone wanna fly down and help me install?

[SkyNex721]

Who has the time?

[spy54]

lol i dunno skynex you still getting the zc right? im probly gonna sneak mine in

[91b16sedan]

You only need the teg intermidate shafts if you are going to use the zc transmission.

[spy54]

yea thats what i was trying to get at do you have one since you got a blown zc?

[91zc]

91b16sedan is my brother and yes the zc blew up on us. If you want to use the zc trans you will need to use the 90-93 integra intermediate shaft and axles. There is a way to make your own axles but I can't remember a page to explain it. I believe it is somewhere on the www.hybrid.honda-perf.org page.

owch that musta sucked big time

[sastanley]

I do not think the ZC will pass CA emissions/smog or whatever with a Teg ECU. I have heaed of some peeps passing with an Si ECU, which means the motor runs like crap, but it only has to do that for the test. I would not run the Teg ECu if you are over there dude..I would try to find a ZC ECU pay someone to rechipp you an aftermarket one, like ZDyne.

And I also don't think you will like the ZC tranny, too many other things to do..intermediate shaft mumbo jumbo, etcetc...you might as well go b16..by the time you get a ZC with a ZC tranny you have spent almost as much $$ as you would on a b16, minus the mounts. The beauty of a ZC motor is that you can bolt it to your car directly AND the existing tranny, HF/DX/Si, even STD (except if i was going thru the trouble to swap a ZC in a STD hatch, I would put a different tranny in there) - The Si tranny has the tighest gearing, but I also hear a lot of peeps are happy with the DX tranny with a ZC.. I think the ratios are the same but the Si has a different final drive kicking everything up a notch on the ol' RMP meter .....and NO you can't have any of 91zc's parts - I am buying them
HTH - and if I am wrong I am sure someone will correct me

[spy54]

wait so if i just want the engine i dont have to do anything but put in the engine? and i would have to use the si ecu for tests? arg this sounds like a huge bitch to do maybe i will do b16a lol
