Ok i think i am ready to do my zc swap into my 89 si. I was wondering if there is anything i missed (forgot to buy) for the swap. Here is a list of what i have.
zc engine
stage 2 clutch
upper radiator hose
pm7 ecu
sparkplug wires
TPS
gaskets
and all the parts on my d16a6 are good. Is there anything else i am missing?
thanks?

 

seems ok but take my advice and have about $2-300 in your pocket during the swap cuz you never know. I thought my tranny was fine untill we took it out.....oh lord....

 

i have about 1k in the bank for the swap, and i am paying 400 to get it done so that leaves my w/ 600 to play with

 

distributor ? unless u can use the one on your D16

 

http://dmoore.com/crx/zc.htm#ZC%20Parts%20List

shows like everything that should be replaced

 

Yea, that list is great. Used it on mine.
But after mine, I say just build the d16 or get a z6.
My ZC barely pulls more than my old Si that had 216K miles on it.
Just my .02.
Oh, and do the swap yourself man.

 

man i dont know how u can say that, i can rip on SI's so bad. i can beat type r's even

 

wwwwhhhhaattt??? type r crx's right?

anywho....id say you forgot two of the most important.......water pump and timing belt.....I just changed a timing belt in a 87 integra ....what a pita....do yourself a favor with the engine out do it then....youll save yourself alot of stress and headaches...

 

i second this

 

No I think he means ITRs, they run low 15s and a ZC'd CRX should be able to do the same.

 

ITR's run about 14.7 ish stock....
the GSR's are the ones that run 15.2 ish

yeah uuhh maybe I didnt put it down clearly.....by saying crx type R's that equals sarcascim you heard of it ?

 

I recommend you change the distributor cap and rotor (CRX 91, Int 88-89), the distributor belt (Prelude, I think 90) and water pump (CRX 91). If you want to sleep well, inspect the crank for wear and plasti-gauge it. You can rebuild the engine easy while it's out if needed. You will have a perfect ZC when you are done and you can do it with less than the $600 you have.

 

distributor belt....???? I hope thats a typo

 

LOL!! Hahaha. Yea a typo..sorry TIMING BELT!! God my boring job is killing my brain cells..

 

well im looking into doing my zc swap soon *DX, auto* anyone have a Si TB and TPS for sale? also looking for the distributor and cap... let me know by email

steveeeo@hotmail.com

anyone know a good place to pick up the timing belt for pretty cheap? (88 Prelude) also the water pump? (88-91 CRX)

 

Do you know exactly what rings and bearings to get?Different people say different things.

I agree that list on that site is great and yes if you can do the swap yourself,do it, but saying the ZC barely pulls , man your on crack.

i am buying cams gears for the engine don't they come with a timeing belt?

 

i wanna turbo my zc got any suggestions on turbo's and also what psi the zc can handle?

 

Go to homemadeturbo.com It has a bunck of stuff on turbo zc's. IMP i would run my zc at 6-10 psi. for daily driving. (if your internals are in good cond.)

 

You need a water pump (Any "D" engine) Prelude timing belt at the very minimum. you have no idea how old or how many miles are on it. Don't risk your new engine to save a few bucks.
