i need the engine in and i have no way to get it to the chicago area, all the ones ive seen have been in the chicago area, i need one as close as possible but still a good place.

also i have a friend who is a mechanic that said he would install the engine for me, i am just worried because he is a domestic guy. I know hes capable i just need like a checklist so that everything that needs to get done gets done. basically i need the engine in and i need it soon and im on a tight budget, i need to know anything you guys can tell me about dohc zc's in crx's and how hard it is compared to other swaps.



Thank you in advance im sorry for rambling...alot of questions in one post too

 

btw my car is in my sig.

 

anyone with DOHC ZC CRX swap knowlege please inform me

 

Piece of cake... I'm in Champaign for school. When do you need it done?

 

that swap is pretty much plug and play. It drops right in with minimal mods needed.

 

i'd be able do it the week of the 23rd and i'm in the Kankakee area. My rates are cheap.

what exactly are the mods needed, i know i can use my ecu what about wiring harness...

 

depends on what model ef if its a hf or si just the distributor wiring needs modified and you can use you trans and axels.. other than that it bolts right in..

 

i have an si, i can use my wiring harness? and all i have to change is dist. wiring?

 

yes just mod the distrbutor wiring and youll be good for more info about this swap check out http://www.thezcr.com an use the search there.. it will answer all your questions

 

so then i need a new tranny cuz my si one is messed up....is it cheaper to buy a tranny or to get axels?

 

actually i donno if its the tranny, i got a new clutch put in and now it wont go into gear after i drive for like 5 min...its not the cable, i got a new one problem is the same...when i got my car it was fine it just slipped...thats why i got a new clutch...

does that sound like a tranny problem? or a clutch assembly problem?

 

you get oil on the clutch?

 

sounds like your new clutch wasn't installed right

 

ok...so i should get the clutch looked at before i get a different one...thanks for all your help guys

 

I'm in Danville, I could possibly stop by and help.

 

you guys should make a minimeet, get this kid some dohc zc powar..

x2 I did it with a friend three years ago when I had very little automotive experience. It actually was easier than I expected.

 

I did the swap before its simple, if you need help let me know.

 

thanks guys for all the help

does 100 sound like a good deal for a 88 si tranny? because if i need one i found one on here for 100...

also will it make a difference if the tranny is a diff year than the zc? or than my si ecu? jw

cuz now i have a 91 si ecu and im not sure what year the zc will be cuz i haven't ordered it yet, just trying to get this all set straight.

thanks again

 

btw where are you order the motor do you have PM functions yet?

 

I think the 88 tranny's have a different spline count than the 91's, dont they?

 

I sent you an email

 

The transmission won't work unless you change your flywheel/clutch to an 88 as well. The ECU will work just fine regardless of the year.

 

88? I used an 89 si flywheel for my swap
