if that motor is from a 89 teg then it won't bolt up to your 88-91 crx. and it's not a zc, its a d16a1.

the motor from a 89 ls is considered a zc motor, just not the jdm one. i will be using the 89 ls tranny. i was thinking about usint the si axles, but then i wasnt sure they were gonna fit in my dx hubs. any other suggestions??

it might be considered a usdm ZC but it won't fit in your car.

if that motor really came from a 89 teg, then avoid it at all costs. listen to what we say.. save yourself some major headaches.

i bought it from my boy who had it in his 91 crx, so it should fit with some adjustment, and yes some people consider it the usdm zc.

if it is a jdm zc with a zc tranny, 90-93 integra axles is what you want. nothing else.
