I have been looking for a few days everywhere for a nice guide for a sohc zc install from ripping the stock d16 out til startup of the zc. If ANYONE can find anything really useful and what Im looking for or can make one thats really in detail Id give upto $25 of parts off my 88hf and 91 si Crx's, both cars are almost fully complete and Id ship em to ya for some good useful info.

Pm me if you wanna keep it secret because of bandwith, I just really need a good guide

 

what kind of ZC? if its sohc in a ef...si.....hey bro it bolts right up just pretend you blew your injen....thats what i did....but i wont know about the dohc ...i think they are the same....!!!...I MY

 

nothing better than having a helms or even the haynes will tell u step by step on wut to get ur engine out .. and back in .. good luck

 

Ya but this is the first time Ive ever seen or attempted a swap on any car. Dont know what do to do and dont have a father or knowledgeable friend that can do it. Doing it next friday-sunday and I want it done and all problems fixed perfect on sunday by midnight

 

..its going to be pretty much the same as any other d series swap... so see if there are any dohc zc swap how-to's....d16a6 how-to's... or even d16z6 how-to's....the z6 will be the same except for the wiring...

 

ok...I went through some 4 year old bookmarks I have saved...and came up with some dohc zc and z6 swap pages..might help...unfortunately..most of the links I have are dead since they're so old

The 1.6 ZC SOHC is vtec right? I had a 1.6 VTEC in my 89 CRX then I blew that so i swapped a 1.6 SOHC VTEC in and used a MSD RPM activated switch to engage the VTEC. Then I blew that and swapped in a DOHC ZC. The ZC bolted right in. I used the Chilton for Civic/CRX/Del Sol 1984-1995 and it worked perfect for me everytime. You can pick one up at Barnes and Noble, Borders, or even Checker. Hope everything works out ok for you and if ya need any more help PM me. I'd be glad to help you trouble shoot.

 

here this should help a bit--

no....

 

some of the sohc zc were actually vtec, hard to find though

 

Shotgun that son! Thats the way my first engine swap went. There isnt THAT much stuff to take off, and put back on, and most of it is pretty easy to remember. If you are really worried about doing it wrong, and need a guide of some sort, just make a note of everything you do, and then when re-installing just reverse that list.

Not only that....*whisper* but you have us here at h-t if you run into any problems
