Im about to buy a 90 CRX from a car lot, it has a engine swap but the guy doesnt know exactly what engine is in it just knows it came out of a new model Honda. Where would i find the engine code on the motor to find out what motor it is? Thanks

 

Do you know the code? I dont know exactly where it is but im pretty sure its in the faq section if not search. The search button is in the top right of the page.

 

the only thing i can find on the block is close to the tranny and says "ZC 2420205"

 

is it a single over head cam or a dual?

Thanks. Was also thinking about geting a turbo kit for it in a few weeks in my finacial aid comes in. What kit would i need for that. Or we have a shop here called majestic turbo, that builds them. Would it be cheaper to just get them to set me one up?

 

Depends if you want your engine to blow up or not. DOHC ZC's are good motors for turbo applications, they have relatively low compression and have held up under nominal boost conditions. It aslo depends on how much you are willing to pay for a turbo kit, you could build one your own for around $500 bucks, that works, but might no last a long time. Or you could spend upwards of $2K for a decent premanufactured turbo kit from a turbo manufacturer. My advice to you is to do some homework and read some articles, or posts on turbo applications and especialy on reliablilty of engine components regarding your specific engine under boost conditons.
