hi everyone i jst decided to swap to a different trans for my zc in my 1991 honda civ hatch and i got all the parts i need the zc trans 1992 integra axle and hubs and spindles so my car is pretty much integra/civic the right axle flew right together with the new parts then i went to put the jackshaft on and it seemed to be to long it was 3/4inch to long and it was in all the way i couldnt bolt it up to the zc i was wandering if anyone had any suggestions thnks frank also can i beat this engine and trans harder than normal ones can it handle it


KEEP RIDEIN THE CIVIC

 

All engines and transmission have breaking point. Beating them doesn't help. ZC engines have more power then the stock engines but beating on a 15 year old engine that hasn't been rebuilt isn't always the best idea. It's an old cheap engine, beat her till she dies, then swap in a better one!

 

does anyone no anything about the jackshaft tho

 

did you use the halfshaft from the zc trans? is a dohc zc trans?
I have the dohc zc trans with sohc zc motor. you need to use the dohc zc halfshaft with the integra axles and hubs if its a dohc zc trans.

 

yes im sure i have a dohc zc trans thats what i thaughti bought where can i get a dohc zc jalfshaft can i cut and reweld the 91 integra halfshaft its 3/4inch to long i no of a very good welder

 

you can fix anything with a welder and a cutter
just dont expect it to be balanced perfectly

 

make sure they're not ABS 90-93 Integ units with the JDM ZC Intermediate shaft.


FYI - NOT sure what spindles/knuckles you're running but 90-93 Integra units the 88-91 Civic/CRX chassis also change the wheel alignment settings.

 

The place you got the trans from should have the zc halfshaft if not hmotorsonline.com should have one for ya. Thats where i got my zc engine/trans, integra knuckles/brakes, and the halfshaft.

 

i thought you could run your stock axels with the ZC? i dont like putting bigger axels on, id rather snap an axel then blow my tranny :\.

 

you can if you use the stock tranny such as the SI tranny. But when you use the ZC tranny things change and you cant use the stock axels any more.

 

ok gotcha
