zc questions, not performing as well
i just put a zc in my 89 civic with the si ecu and tranny and it isnt running as good as i hoped it would. i did have a d16a6 in there and it ran as good. it runs smooth and quiet but lacks *****. i had the timing done and tehy set it right for "most hondas" but had never seen a zc before. i read somewhere to set it 16 deg btdc could that be right? please help. i was thinking the ecu is the problem but i don't know. please help. thanks

Re: zc questions, not performing as well (jhopdawg)
I like the 88-89 Teg ecu, b/c of the aggressive fuel curve. We put in my friend's 88 CRX HF w/ZC and when the Si ecu is in there if feel's like the engine is starving. So I would say that try to get your hands on a 88-89 Teg ecu and see for yourself or even better try to get a hold of a ZC ecu the only thing is the 112mph governor.

Advance your distributor and run premium gas. And the aformentioned teg ecu of course. You should really be able to notice the 25 horsepower upgrade.
