I went with RPF1's mainly due to weight.. Id say go with them, but I dont know much about Kosei's. Just try and stay away from bronze... Please!!



LSDmotorsports has good pricing.. contact them right here on H-T. good prices fast shipping.

 

have a question guys,

went to a local jdm importer today lookin for a zc. They asked me what car is was goin in blah blah and i said 90 civic, they showed me what they had and when on to say that i had to change the intake manifold and exhaust mani because its different?

i was so thrown off that i just walked out cause i was so confused. Isnt any zc motor a fully direct bolt in?

And also can i use any zc motor no matter what generation? 'cause they had sum newer ones there for sale as well. seemed to be fomr an eg or ek

TIA..

 

No worries on the bronze. I'm not a big fan of bronze on white. I do kinda like the black ones though. I've bought clutches from LSD before and always had positive experiences. Mikes(I think?) a good guy.

 

I swapped IM's on my sohc zc cause there is a sensor on the usdm manifold that is not on the zc. But the exhaust manifold is fine, and I know there's ways to bypass the sensor its missing on the zc, I just didn't know at the time.

 

I was worried about the bronze myself, the guy (I think it was Mike) took a real picture for me from an opened box and that made my decision easier. Great customer service goes a long way for me. Im not sure how hard it is to find a company carrying Kosei's, but I know I have herd a lot of horror stories about people buying rims so I went with the safe bet.

Good luck and let us know what you decide on.

 

Well I found koseis and the rpf1 on tirerack at a good price. LSD has buddy clubs too...I don't even know if I'll buy wheels yet. I'm just exploring options and checking prices at this point.

 

RPF1's x100. When I sell the Wago next month and start looking for 4-door GSR's I'm buying silver RPF1's fo sho. I want this one sooooo bad http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/1605354840.html , but I have to wait just another month or two.


oh, and fyi, my pops had Kosei's for about a year before he realized he wanted RPF1's. The Kosei's are GREAT wheels, but the RPF1's can make any car look "hard."

 

yeah rpf1 are sick, much better pricing than volks ...

 

I would love to get som regas or 388's to polish. I loved the way my car looked on polished slips. The enkies definitely look great though.

 

Indeed, time for a repost.




LOL I know way to many people with RPF1's, but its all for the right reason. One of the lightest wheels out there.

 

there was a carbed zc, maybe thats what they were talking about. look on the back of the head near the intake manifold there will be a open hole for the fuel pump drive. you can use the carbed zc but you have to block off that hole and swap manifolds like they said. the obd0 PGMFI zc is a direct replacement for a d16a6. the obd1 zc is a direct replacement for a d16z6. I have a obd2 zc. its like a y8 with a y7 head (little hotter cam) comes with a y8esque intake manifold. either this or the obd0 is your best bet as far as a direct swap.

 

I think I have a big thing for polished wheels!

 

i got a question.. is the sohc ZC legal to be swapped in a 90-91 chassis? cuz i know the dual ZC isnt unless ur 88-89.
