i just bought an obd1 zc engine, will it fit my car?! i just bought the cylinder head and and valves cover and everything under it, will it work with my sohc ZC intake and headers?! what about the distributer?!

thanks HT

 

what car do you have? has it been converted to OBD1? is new engine DOHC? do you mean intake manifold from SOHC ZC?

 

i have 88 crx obd0 sohc ZC, i want to put a dohc ZC i just bought but its obd1 engin, i only bought the cylender head and valveves cover and evrything inside it, i'll use it with my stock intake and headers, will it fit?

 

did you get complete engine or just the head? you can't easily put the DOHC head on the SOHC engine, if that is what you are trying to do - SOHC intake manifold will not fit DOHC ZC head - header will bolt up but ports don't line up exact - you need to grind out the header to match the ports in the head - fairly easy job

 

i got just the head, without the intake and headers and distributer, i have my old sohc ZC intake and headers. so u say they wont fit?! what about motor mounts?!

 

let me try again - did you get the complete block with head and valve cover? just missing intake manifold and header? to bolt the OBD1 block into your car, you would need to swap the mount on the driver's side end of the block from your SOHC onto the DOHC - rest of mounts are on the transmission - you would need DOHC ZC intake manifold - use the SOHC injectors - you would need 88-89 Integra distributor and CYL position sensor

 

ok thanks, i swapped and obd1 d15b vtec a year ago and used the same intake and headers, so i thought they r the same with the obd1 dohc ZC, cuz the ZC i got said D16A a D series, i thought all D series are the same withe headers and intake, and answering ur question yes i bought the complete block with head and valve cover, i'm still using my obd0 intake from the old sohc zc and PM6 ecu and the sohc ZC distributer and they all work finr with d15b vtec obd1

 

this is my setup now, now u'll know better

 

zc is it's own code it's not a D series the Itake Manifold Will Not Fit, As he said and also the headers will, yes it will mount up and yes you can't put a dohc zc head on a sohc block

 

but i bought the whole block and the engine said d16a not zc, i wont use any sohc block or engine part, i can buy the intake and headers too, but if i did, will the intake work with my OBD0 wiring?!

 

u have to help me out guys i already bought the engine, i dont wanna look at it

 

anything from a Z6 will fit that engine.

 

well at tleast the head is z6

 

dont waste your money on that head w/o the bottom end or a d16a8?? i think thats the code its from an 88-89 integra comonly called the "brown top"

the dohc zc head will not fit the sohc block

the d15b is basicaly a d15b7 bottom end with a z6 head with the pistons and cam being a little different from the d15b7 and d16z6

 

just keep this in mind

anything from a d series will fit on a d series

anything (almost everything) from a b series will not fit on a d series but will fit on any B coded block

Therefor i just supplied you with a full 20 weeks in college

 

anything from a d series will fit on a d series

ok i know that thanks, but the engine i got d16a is written on it. NOT ZC, so it will fit right? cuz the d15b vtec worked on my sohc ZC intake and headers!1

 

i'm not changing any head or block, i'm changing the whole engine, i just wanna keep my old intake and headers,

Actually a d15b single stage vtec is really a d15z1 block with a D16z6 head and slightly better camshaft..

Im not really understanding your question at all... in the first post you say you have a obd1 zc now you say you have a D16a that you're swapping inplace of the current engine which is a D15b vtec..If the new engine is not a ZC then it may not fit ..Whats the whole engine code..?

 

yes the engine i bought look like a dohc zc but its not written zc on it, it has d16a on it

 

Your not in northamerica are you? What is the entire engine code ..? Or do you know what car it came out of?

 

yes i'm not, i'm from the middle east, the engine came from a JDM honda CRX del sol, i dont know the entire code at the moment

 

whats the difference between the obd0 ZC and obd1 ZC, wont they fit my intake and headers?! my headers is written on them ZC but they fit my d15b vtec

 

i need some help here guys

 

If your motor has d16a stamped on it, then that's what it is, and it is not a ZC, unless someone somehow restamped it. Post a pic and we'll be able to tell what it is.

 

but its a dohc 1.6 liter engine, i'll take a picture and send it to u guys, so if it is zc it wont fit my intake and headers, the headers have the same pattern of the zc
