hey
I'm probably getting a 88 crx SI soon and it already has a ZC engine in it, but no wiring harness. what one do I need? can I get it at a junkyard?


Thanks, Eric

 

i've always heard to use a slightly modified Si harness...the diffrence is two wires

 

how do I "slightly modify" it?

 

use search u will find everything u need

 

ok one more thing for my dad's sake. are there any problems or troubles with this engine or anything of the like? and lastly how much would a harness cost?

 

hit up junkyards, around $50-60 for a harness

 

What do you mean by problems or troubles. If you would like to avoid problems i would chang out your normal wear items such as: timing belt, water pump, plugs, wires, etc, you get the idea. to find part numbers and such http://www.thezcr.com/html/partnums.php.

For that help i accept hand jobs or potato chips (sour cream) for payment.

 

You need the engine harness out of the same year crx si. You might be able to use the 89 crx si. Also you need to move the 2 white wires on the distributor plug(7 wire plug) to the No.1 cyl sensor on the exhaust cam side of the zc (if its the dohc zc).

 

beauty thanks for the help............now I gotta see about uhaulin this thing home.

 

oh one last question......does the zc fit under the stock hood? because I've seen ones with buldges

Yes. The overseas cars have different engine mounting points.

 

a si harness will work fine

 

an si with slight modification and a resistor box

 

resisitor box? what ? how do I hook it up? where do I get one? can someone please list everything I'm going to need to make this run?

 

Stock Si harness and 2 wires from the dizzy moved to the Cam Angle sensor on the exhaust cam passenger side of the motor is all you need. And remember, your stock Si AC should bolt right up great little thang that ZC. My DOHC ZC pulls sick like and being non-VTec sure puts a puzzling look on peoples faces when I explain its a DOHC 1.6 non-VTec. Also, make sure to use either of these three ecu's decending in order of preference by most: 1. Stock ZC ecu &lt;~ Rare, 2. 88-89 UDSM Integra 5spd &lt;~ Better Fuel curves, 3. Stock Si ECU. - Darrell

 

how quick is it with the zc? (as a first car)

 

bump

 

c'mon noone can tell me if their dohc zc is quick?

bumpy

 

Its decent for the money. I love it. My boyfriend has it in his. We were riding the other night after they "tweaked" it and he was doing 85mph in 3rd gear on a PM6 ECU.

I had a b18b that I was going to do, but I sold it here on Honda-tech because I had lost my job. Now I may go with a d-series vtec engine or the DOHC ZC.

 

kool do you think its a good deal for an 88 crx si dohc zc that just needs a wiring harness (and has a racing clutch)?

 

It depends on the price. In my state, they are popular among the Honda scene, and go for anwhere from $200-2500 w/swaps, but other places can go as high as $4000 for any SI w/swaps.

 

well the car is up for $600 (canadian) (will probably get it down to 500.......my dad would never let me pay full price for anything lol )
