i got an 93 civic vx hatch stock just got my hands on a jdm zc is this motor worth the swap for now if so can i still use everything from my car and will the header on my single fit and can i still use my tranny ? and what will i need to get for the swap i searched but nothing on a zc into a 93 civic

 

Im pretty sure this is a pretty straight forward swap. I think all you need to do is take your motor out, and put the ZC in. What I mean by that is that you will be using your current distributor, tranny, injector plugs, altenator, wiring harness, tranny, mounts, and axles. The only thing I am not sure about is the ECU. You might be able to get away with a 92-93 OBD-1 Integra LS ECU, or you might have to find someone that maked an OBD1 to OBD0 harness (which I am not sure about.) Feel free anyone to jump in and either correct my information, or add to it. I hope this gives you a good start.

 

so i can use everything from my car and i should b okay with an obd1 ls computer does anyone kno the specs for a jdm zc

 

??????????????????

 

I thought the motor mount points were different in the ZC's?

 

I dont think the mount points are different, the ZC is just a DOHC Non-Vtec D-Series motor. I know that when putting one in a CRX, it bolts up fine to the exsisting mounts, as well does the D16Z6.

 

Well we should also ask which of the 3 ZC motors it is, there is a DOHC and 2 SOHC versions. If it is the DOHC then you need to convert to non-OBD.

 

how can i tell which one it is ????

 

You look at how many cams you have.

 

how can i tell which one has vtec ? and which computer can i use
for the vtec and which one for the non vtec?

 

????

 

need help asap

 

How many cams do you have? I already asked.
