My buddy has an 89 crx hf with 208k on it, and about 5k on a zc swap (probably had 40k or so before he got it), with zc tranny. No a/c.. with the trade i would get an 89 integra ecu, cam gears, exhaust.. The car has one torn up seat.. the other is fine.. car is in fair condition.. nothing to ride to the prom in, but it works for me... car is strong dynoing 120hp 101tq.. and runs about a 15.2.. havent yet done a compression test, but we will soon.

My car to trade would be my 91 civic si with pretty much a new paint job, tint, 151k on it.. a cam gear, and exhaust. Car is in good condition. interior is very clean. Compression tests from 3 weeks ago yeilded 195+ across the board, and it dynoed strong at 108hp and 96tq..

what ya think? this is a very good freind of mine, so we know eachothers cars very well, and know how they've been treated.. Would this trade be even, or should some cash change hands too? if so, which way?

I wouldnt do the trade if it was me. Your car car can be easily swaped for a B16. Use your stock ECU and your good to go. I think a HF chasis with a ZC is a waste. Just stick with your HB and go B16 or B18. I would MUCH rather have that then a CRX with a ZC.

I wouldn't trade. You have a great platform for a cheap B16 swap.

don't do it

Ditto,
I would say keep your car with less miles, and go with a swap if you are really looking for more power.
