I have stumbled upon my first swap.
I have a 1989 CRX HF that currently sports all stock running components. I have a D16zc DOHC, but that is it.
My question is what do I need to purchase in order to do the swap? What parts?
Obviously a transmission and wiring harness which I cannot find, but what else do I need?
thanks

 

as long as the engine is a real zc and not the 86-89 integra d16a1 motor. You can use your stock transmisson shift linkage axles and wire harness. If the car is a real hf all you need to do is put the motor in. The zc swap is a easy swap just bolts in. You have everything you would need. I would suggest a different ecu like a obd0 90-91 pr4 or a 89-91 si pm6 ecu you can even run a 88-89 pg7 ecu. Do not run the 86-87 pg7 ecu it is vaccum advance and run will run like ****.

 

^All true but forgot to mention there's a seperate sensor on the end of the exhaust cam (crank position sensor? i forget). You'll need to cut and splice for that one because on the Si/HF models the sensor is integrated into the distributor but on the DOHC ZC it's external.
