okay, now, i just entered the tuning world, i just bought a 89 civic si with a ZC dropped in it. i need to know what sorts of parts i need to get for it, i mean, cuz say i wanna put a turbo on it...what do i get it for? i also know that it comes out of an 89 integra--but what parts are interchangeable? i need mad help, and any info would be greatly appreciated....

 

This link is the best help that I have for you. The ZC is a nice and mid class speed motor but finding performace parts for it is like America finding Bin Ladin most parts might have to be fabricated but check out the link and knock your self out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually it does not come out of the US 89 Intera, similar motor, but different.

For the turbo, the manifold is the same as the SOHC Civic.
What other parts are you looking for?

 

okay, ive also noticed that some have used the original si tranny with the zc. how would i be able to tell if its the zc or si tranny?

 

An easy way would be to look under the car. The ZC tranny has a half shaft, the Si doesn't

 

well, i recently replaced the half shafts and got them for the 89 civic si, and they fit right in...so, would that mean i have the si tranny?

it would only mean that the transmission is not a ZC - could be anything else, DX, HF, Si or EX

 

thezcr.com. Also look for the serial numbers on the trans case. if its a sl3 I think its a DX or a Si. etiher way you're golden. run it till it blows up (if at all) then get a ZC trans with the mid-shaft. Its uses the same mounts.
You can get a D-series HF exhaust manifold and use that for your turbo application on the cheap. Check out the ZCR its good site with tons of info.
