Hey, I thought I'd post this in here because alot of people use the ZC engine in here. I bought an 88 Integra off of a friend. The valves are bent because he forgot to change the timing belt, so I'm trying to decide what to do. I'm probably going to get the ZC engine, but I haven't been able to find much about mating it to the gen 1 tegs. From what I understand, it's basically the same engine that's in there right now. I also read that there are basicallly three ZC engines - DOHC black valve cover, SOHC, and DOHC brown valve cover. Is the DOHC black valve cover the best to get? Has anyone done this swap? Any info would be appreciated.

 

no need to swap, rebuild it,

40 junk yard turbo,


and hold on

 

I thought the b16a is a direct swap in the Teg? If so I'd go with that and skip the ZC.

 

they are about the same engine

the 88 teg has 118 hp. the black top ZC has about 135 hp. thats the engine you want. no need to change the wiring, and just use the stock integra mounts, axcles, shift linkage, etc.

OR, you can do the about post

 

Wait, I thought that the Teg ZC was compatible with the 1st Gen CRX, but you had to get mounts for the 2nd, and the JDM ZC swaps right into the 2nd gen...I'm confused....so how can you swap a JDM ZC into a teg without mounts?

 

ok some of you guys are confusing terminology here...

usdm teg d16a1-113hp (86-78) 118hp (88-89), this motor will not bolt to............ OMG the reply i want to give here will take me too long, sorry guys, someone else explain this.
