so on my dohc zc my old dizzy was put on retarted on my car and the timing was way different than what it shoud have been..so when i finally replaced it to a new one my car started driving weird
at about 3000 rpms it wont gain power until about 3600 rpms
i took it to a shop by my house and they checked it out and said that there were b16 cams in it
im not sure if this would cause anything
if anyone knows anything let me know
any info is well appreciated
and i have a set of pm7 cams in my garage i think if those are the right ones ill just throw them on
but info is well appreciated thanks

 

Only God knows why someone put B16 cams in it, replace them with your PM7 cams. Those are the correct ones. And did you make sure you used a timing light when adjusting the ignition timing? Also if your other dizzy really was set way off it could've ruined your spark plugs. Detonation is a bad bad boy.

 

"help!!!!!" IS NOT a suitable title for a thread. When you read the rules of the forum which we all know everyone does, but I will remind you, it says be specific in your TITLE for a new thread. Hence why your thread title was changed.

 

i checked and the cams are tpm7 cams
but i notcied that on the shaft by the dizzy there are two letters
one on the top and on the bottom
i was wondering what those are for

 

uuummmm.....don't know you'd have to write them down and put them up here, I do know on mine it says "E" for exhaust and "I" for intake. What you saw also may have been some stamp that's irrelivant.

 

alright im sure its prolly just irrelevant
would the ecu im running be part of the problem
cause i looked it up and its an ls integra ecu
my buddy said its better to use a da integra ecu

 

The integra ecu works but its not better ..if u can get a hold of a legit Zc ecu it'll work better or the ecu of a older integra 87-89 ..because with the ls ecu since Its a bigger engine ur air/fuel is set differently ..and as the b16 cams did u mean cam gears.?. or cam shafts.?.

 

Man, you need to get yourself a PM7, PM6 or PG7 ECU....the PM7 ECU is for the JDM ZC, the PM6 is from a EF Si and it'll run it, it just might run rich....I read someone saying they used it and the exhaust fumes were kindda fierce at times. And the PG7 was from the American version of the ZC, the D16A9 or A8 can't remember right off the top of my head. I bet you run rich and a little funny with that LS ECU don't you?

 

yea it does
also if i get on it it smells fierce also

 

the guy said cam shafts
because the gears say pm7 on em
and i checked today and the shafts also say pm7
soooo idk what he was talking about

 

I don't know if you know that guy personally, but does he even work on Honda's regularly?

 

not a lot a lot but he does work on hondas
thats why i always check what people say cause he was wrong

 

Yea bro that's what I was thinkin because Zc have coustum cam shafts the b series are too long and d series are too short...honestly I think the guy needs to do more reaserch

 

ZC is a D series.....

 

yea the zc is a d series motor
just dual cam
do you tihnk the pr4 is causing the loss of power?

 

The B18 ECU is causing a lot of problems for you. Seek out a PM7 (it's a rare one but jump on it when you can because it's the ECU that the JDM ZC ran on) or find a Si PM6 and get it reprogramed for the DOHC ZC or get a PG7. I've seen Advance sell the PM6and PG7 but it's a pretty penny for just a referbished ECU. I think it was like 300 something dollars......but you should be able to find a PM6 for a reasonable price on Ebay or Craigslist.

 

ive found a bunch of pm6 ecus
ive found a few pm8 ecus
but idk what those ran on

 

PM6 is for d16a6... I use it on my SOHC (non-vtec) ZC, works fine. Probably a little rich but my MPG's are fine - like 26-28 all day with spirited driving... not sure how it'll work on a DOHC though.

 

88 PM8 CRX HF ECU

 

It'll run lean on a DOHC and smell bad at times.....and you were only getting 26-28 mph's??? Were you in a EG?

 

Nope, it's in my ef, again it's SOHC non-vtec.

I do decent amount of city driving sadly, there's a good mile or two of stop signs completely surrounding my house. Also I push the damn thing hard 24/7.

I've heard of people getting 35mpg, but god knows how. I have an si tranny mated up to it too.

 

so which one do you tihnk would be better to try
the pm6 or pm8

 

I'd bust my ***** to find a PG7 if you aren't in too much of a hurry. Supposedly they are cheap but if you can't find any then obviously that's true for your case.

 

PM6....I just posted that to let you know what the PM8 was for.......and Nooch, I was about to say! I get 33 - 35 on my DOHC ZC but I don't do a lot of city driving.....a lot of back country roads.

 

ya im in a lil of a rush
i do a good amount of driving and it losing power is not nice while driving lol
and my gas mileage isnt super good with the pr4
