whats up guys, im back in the crx community, i just traded my 92 cx gsr hatch for an 89 crx si (yellow) and a 93 dx hatch(rusted lol)

it has a dohc zc? motor in it, i have checked up a little about these motors and found a cpl facts but what i really wanna know is if this motor is worth keeping, i have the cash to get a b16 swap (eventually a 1.8 liter block with it) or i can turbo the zc, it seems to run ok, needs a new clutch though definetly. so what should i do, b series swap or stick with the zc and build and turbo it?

i will have roughly 2000 to work with right now

 

any suggestions?

 

get the b-series swap (B16) you will love it trust me i LOVE mine...

 

Turbo ZC, Upgrade pistons and rods go 12-16 Psi

 

what the hell you got another crx and I cant even find one

would the stock sleaves be able to handle this?

also are there specific pistons for these motors or do you just buy a6/z6/y8 pistons and figure out the compression?

whats a good way to tune these motors, im used to obd1

what rods/pistons would you suggest?

what turbo kits are made for ef's and would work well with my setup

i want a really reliable car and if i were to turbo this zc i would settle for no less then 200 whp

 

Sell the CX and paint the CRX, or Y-49 will own you.

convert it to obd1
crower econorods w/arias 9.0:1 pistons
you dont know the actual mileage on this motor so i would def. get it resleeved
def. a compression check before you do anything if you can find the gauge bud

and you DEF. need a new exhaust


or just get the b16a1

 

imo b16 is overrated. save your money and go straight gsr or ls/ forcedinduction

 

ya I would just build the bottom of the zc along with i/h/e and some giggle gas and youll be over 200whp

 

cool

 

go turbo...

my buddy had a ZC in his crx si, now its in a civic hatch we are going to go turbo this winter. i have heard alot of good reports about the turbo zc and it makes awesome #s.

 

yeah turbo zc is the way to go. save you money from gettoing extra stuff for the b16 like shift linkage motor mounts etc. or ls turbo is good too
