Default Battery relocation and WTF is a ZC swap?

yes, i am still a honda noob...

anyways, what is required for mounting the battery behind the bumper?
and what is a DOHC ZC engine? (a good swap i hear, is it worth it?)
i know DOHC stands for Dual Over-Head Cam...
I mainly want to know what is required for the battery relcation, as I do not want to put the battery in the trunk.

The ZC is the JDM version of the D16A1 (Integra engine), it makes a bit more power. It's basically a D-series, it will bolt up to a D series transmission.

my main issue is getting a ZC engine shipped to CANADA.... ugh.

by the way, side note... how much should JDM Doors (bronze glass, power windows, no mirrors) cost?

canada is the luckiest place to be for honda parts i live in WA state near seattle but whenever i need swaps n watnot i drive up there and get it so cheap. Also the only battery relocation on a DD would be to the truck you put behind your bumper and your puttin alot at risk and not worth the time.

Non v-tech dohc ZC engine is the best swap ever dude do it fast , put your battery in the trunk if you want to move it, or just leave it where it is cause that's where it works best! WTF man canada is like the best! Use the search button, and your answers will be written out, nothing is new with an EF everything has already been done twice! Deal with it man you're too lucky. You have people who are willing to read this crap and actually help you without being too big an A-hole accept me of course! So I hope I was able to help you! OH, and wtf would you want to put your battery in your frickin' bumper man? Dude really go to the corner and fail... jk jk, but really good job even getting an ef!

LMAO, this thread is gold.

Canadian ef, you make us all look bad. Try learning something on your own instead of having others spoon feed you.

But seriously.... You really do make us all look bad. We are supposed to be smarter and more literate than "them there amurikens"

If we get a dollar, even Canadian dollar, for everytime we see a Honda enthusiast spells "v-tech", we'll have enough money for another stimulus package.

I think OP should relocate his battery into the bathtub while he sits in it.
