i want to get a zc motor, i heard the engine is some where around 400 to 500. Now do i ahve to buy axles with the motor? or is it optional? im gonna get si transmission, but is that all i need? Also if i forgot something, help me out, kinda of new to this. (alos tried a search, nothing came up)

 

if you use the si tranny with the zc motor, you can use the si axles. the only reason you would need different axles is if you got the zc tranny.

 

with the si tranny your axles will work, ull need a ecu from like a 89 teg

 

http://www.tellap.com/performance theyve got JDM zc's for $625 i think i dont know if that is too pricey or not. you dont need custom mounts i dont think. i believe it just drops in. but you will need an 88-89 integra ecu. PM7 is good ECU to get.

 

thanx for all the input guys, yea i know i need a different harness to, but man i wish i could afford an LSD transmission!

the ZC tranny is a LSD tranny isnt it?

 

i dont know if it is? like i said im new to this, but i'll probably end up getting an si trans.

 

some are and some aren't (not sure of the code for the ones that do have the LSD). i know the zc tranny i had didn't have an LSD...

 

i'm pretty sure there's no such thing as an LSD ZC tranny.

 

Some ZC trannies did come with LSD. They are rare and expensive though.

 

I second that, My importer is Japanese, and he said yes they exist and yes they are very hard to find. He hasn't seen one in a long time. I know I asked him if he had or could get one.

Just build yourself the hybrid tranny, with ZC gears and Si Final Drive. Much cheaper than trying to locate a LSD tranny.

 

never thought of that, thanx man, i might try that!

 

Nippon Motors online sell zc's for 500, 650 with ZC tranny, 800 with ZC ecu, and 950 if you want the LSD.

 

that is what i did...

zc 1-5 gears
si final drive
quaife LSD

 

My friend ran 10.01s in the 1/8 mile consistant. He had zc motor, with si tranny. His tranny blew and he bought a zc tranny for like 5-600, and now he runs consistant 10.4s.
I guess the zc is geared more for the long run, (highway).

 

drop in the si final drive for even shorter gearing (than the all si tranny).
