I got a zc motor but it didnt have a crank in it. Is there any crank i can use besides the zc like maybe a d series. also what are some good factory pistons upgrades. thanks for any help

 

I forgot to say that its the dohc version non vtec

 

13310-pm6-010 is the part number for the crank for both the 1.6L SOHC and DOHC ZC engines. The 1.6L SOHC ZC is near identical to the d16a6, however to be 100%, give Honda call and see if that part number matches any US delivered engines, and if it does, then you've got a match

 

ive heard that if you put d16 pistons in the dohc zc's gives you alot more compression and they are a direct fit..
but thats just what ive heard.

 

you are not quite right - DOHC ZC pistons in the SOHC D16 will give you more compression - SOHC D16 pistons in the DOHC ZC will give you less compression (a lot less) - the SOHC D16 uses a dished piston and the DOHC ZC uses a domed piston due to its very large combustion chamber in the head

for the OP:
all of the SOHC D16 crankhafts from 88-95 will work in the DOHC ZC as will the crankshafts from the 86-89 Integra D16A1 and the 84-95 JDM DOHC ZCs - the only thing you need to watch for is that all of the crankshafts up to the 89 models had a 22mm diameter front snout where the timing belt gear and crank pulley go on - 89 and up had a 24mm diameter front snout - you need to match the timing belt gear and crank pulley to the crankshaft

do you have the timing belt gear for the crankshaft for the DOHC ZC? the DOHC ZC gear is the only one that will work and they are hard to find, especially the 22mm diameter ones

there are no factory pistons that are better than the DOHC ZC pistons for use in the DOHC ZC

 

that part number is correct for the 89 and up crankshafts with 24mm diameter front snout, however, 88 models had a crankshaft with a 22mm diameter front snout and are part number 13310-PM6-000

 

Thanks for the additional info

 

Thanks for the info. I looked at the motor today and it didn't have the crankshaft gear. So does anyone have one. If I use a 89 teg crank can I use the gear?

 

only the DOHC ZC timing belt gear for the crankshaft will work on the DOHC ZC - the DOHC ZC gear has 17 teeth, the 86-89 Integra D16A1 gear has 20 teeth and all of the SOHC D-series gears have 19 teeth

 

I have a 93 civic dx with a zc in it. My problem is my passenger side half shaft is too short, the tripod berrings come out of the berring sleeve. What kind of half shaft can i use thats a little longer?

 

i need to know if there is a longer axle i can use

 

the one its supposed to have is about 24.5 inches, i need atleast another 1 1/2 to 2 inches longer axle

 

this question belongs over here...!!!

hopefully some1 can help me out i got a zc motor and the ignition timing is off, it should be at 16 degrees btdc but its at 9. im not exactly sure what to do, but i would like to totally reset it jus not sure how????

 

Search "ignition timing".

Jump the little yellow connector
Adjust distributor with a timing light
Bam.

 

I did a swap in my 89 crx and put in a 1.6L dohc zc and now a dont have spark at the distributor and i need to jump the connections on the main relay to get my fuel pump to work. i replaced both but my problem is still there. if anyone knows why it would be a huge help. did i just miss a ground??

 

are you sure it's not a faulty main relay?

 

i got a new one but it might be faulty. is there anyway to open it to re salder the connections?

yes there is. check this out.

 

awsome thank you. would that have anything to do with the distributor not getting spark?
