hehe actually i just wanted to post pics of my new baby. i am asking a tech question so i can post pictures and not have it moved . i have multiple dings and dents, even a hole. by my key holes, maybe someone tried to break in? but anyway, how much do u think it'd generally cost to have all those filled/popped out? and my ZC engine does not* have a clutch fluid resevoir?? is this normal?

might not be able to see the dent by my honda symbol on the hood, but its there. and the integra is my sisters

 

post your damn pictures in the right thread.

 

its relevant to my question, please read my post slower, thanks

 

are you sure thats a zc engine??

looks like a dpfi dx engine... like your car. a dx.

and if you really want to see how much it costs to fix. take it to a body shop. this is honda tech. not macco.

 

yes im sure its a ZC, the seller had the papers for it, and everything on its in japanese writing, i checked the place for the code and it does verify that its a SOHC ZC, and seeing as how the SOHC ZC is basically a crx SI engine, i'd say thats a reason for the confusion of it being a stock engine, because it is..just from japan

 

if thats a SOHC ZC then its running like **** becuz its being starved of fuel becuz its still got dual point injection. And you dont have clutch fluid cuz u have a cable tranny...like every other pre 92 civic in the world came with stock.

 

200 posts...wooo ******* hoooo ..bitchiness...sorry lol

 

ahh really? i didnt know much about my ZC engine until i came here. what should i do to the dual point injection? i mean, the engines gonna go soon for an h22a anyway, scored one for 800 with less than 30k miles haha. and yea, does anyone know if integra gsr seats fit in my 91 crx?

 

Halarious because its sooooo true lol

instead of flaming, why not help me out and guide me on what to do? i bought the car as a first car, i know i wanted a crx though. i dont know anything about ZC engines so spare the "know it all" flamming. i know you guys dont come here to post all negative comments thanks.

 

I wasnt flaming, anyway its really hard to give you a price on what something like that will cost without seeing the car first hand. I would suggest popping into a bodyshop and getting a quote usually those guys will have a look and give you an idea of what it will cost you.

 

your in Wash?... Bring me a ZC dohc 1.6l and I will do your dpfi-mpfi swap and engine swap for 300 bucks, all done in one day.

Jeff

 

I would say it costs 4-500, but for 600 you could bring it to earl schieb and get the whole car repainted whatever color you want and with a 6 yr warranty, and see if they'll take the dings out also. Dunno its worth a try.

 

hey man i think your car looks real nice for an old crx.... ur lucky ... how much u pay for that?
??

 

hey abaz...ya im in marysville just about 15 mins away you dont happen to be the guy who goes to costcutters with the primered CRX? if not its all groovy, hit me up on msn messenger or something, i wanna ask ya for info on my CRX my hotmail is phillydogg99@hotmail.com


and i got the car for 2.5k i decided to not offer 1,900 and be nice to the guy selling it because i feel lucky to just get a crx.

 

i had to make a new ******* account because it wont let me post more than 5 times in 24 hrs haha

 

what does your engine code say?.. sorry but i have problems believeing its a ZC engine, with the Dual Point Fuel Injection still on it.. i mean what idiot in there right mind would put a ZC engine with the DPFI?.. besides i thought the valve cover looked alittle different in the ZC's i've seen... i think someone ripped u.. i could be wrong but it just doesn't make any sence... and yeah all pre 92 civic's came with cable clutch not hydrolic.
as for your body work.. no one could quote u an accurate price here unless they do the work.. take it somewhere and get an esimate.. most places don't charge to esimate... its all gonna depend on what kinda job you want.. half *** or show quality.. could range from 200 to 2000.. just depends.

I advice for you.. convert your car to MPFI quick!.. you proally are straving that motor for fuel.. and it could burn up a valve or piston. DO a seach for MPFI conversion you'll get loads of info... over all nice car.. how much did u get it for?

 

actually im considering if its a ZC or not damn it. i looked where the code should be and all it says is literally "ZC"..but as i said the engine is goning in a few anyway

 

no offense but if that is a ZC, then your rims must be Slipstreams...

 

yea, i dont know if its a ZC...anyone mind helping me? if this guy ripped me ima call him up. but not to worry i only bought it for 2,500 in the first place. hey no dissing the rims haha they came with the car! gonna put some volk gt-p's with yokohamas in a few checks

 

well if it says ZC then the block is at least a ZC, maybe the head isn't and thats why they kept the DPFI.. not sure...
but yeah if your swaping in another motor then no sweat.. but u'll have a hard time selling the old one with the DPFI sitting on it.
lots of people are gonna flame u hear for swapping in an h22a.. but don't listen.. its a pain in the *** to do.. but should be worth it

 

ahh so do you think for now going sohc v-tec would be a good option? would i have to go to mpfi? if so how much do you think it would cost?

 

Sounds like most of u never heard of a SOHC ZC. I have a SOHC ZC swap right now in my garage (it was my old set up) and it looks identical to the DX/SI long blocks. If u say the engine code is in fact "ZC", then u have at least a SOHC ZC short block in there, not sure which head u have but most likely its the one it came with. The 2 heads also look identical from the outside.

 

well u can keep that motor you have in there for now, the SOHC ZC puts out like 125HP i think?.. which is plenty, but you just need to convert it to MPFI.. to do that.. you need the dizzy, manifold, injectors, resistor box, and ECU from a 88-91 crx/civic SI or EX.
you might get lucky and get all the parts off someone here for like 150 bucks.. labor is easy and there is plenty of info on here to do it yourself. bascially right now your motor is kinda carburated.. 2 injectors controls by a computer and it shoots fuel down the intake manifold.
where as MPFI is 4 injectors one on each cylinder.. and its controlled and timed by the dizzy and computer.. its much more effient and give more HP and better reponse.
