Ok so I have a 1990 civic 4 door ef with a DOHC zc in it. I believe the head is from a 87-89 integra since most are.

My questions are....

1. Will any other valve covers/heads from other acura/hondas fit on my motor?
2. I want aftermarket cam gears but I dont know what other honda/acuras I can buy them from and will fit mine?
3. Basically I want to know what parts will fit on my motor bottom and top end.
I wanna know if I can get a aftermarket intake manifold for a b16/b18 or whatever and if it will fit on mine. Im just confused about dohc zc's. I neeeeed your guy's experteeeese! Thank you!

Dohc zc specs,mods, parts list
From tuning to transmissions, replacement parts and even information on unusual swaps, if it's a ZC, this article touches on it.collected from all over the net. if there is anything wrong just let me know.

Swap Info:


The ZC will bolt right in to the 88-91 CRX/CIVIC no fabricating or welding is needed
The swap can use your existing wiring harness if you have an SI, if you have a DX then minor modification is necessary.You can use the SI or DX transmissions, they both bolt up. You can also use the SI or DX flywheel.

The engine only adds about twenty-five pounds to the front of the car, so your steering and suspension should be the same. If you are still concerned about the added weight, move your battery to your trunk.

Identification:


1st Gen ZC
Identified by:
External coil, small dizzy, dual butterfly TB, cam cover bolts on top, brown/gold cam cover. Large cam pullys.
+3cc PG6B pistons, non-pent roof combustion chamber.
As a ZC it appeared in JDM AV integra Si and JDM E-AT civic/crx Si. Commonly produced at the time but now over 20 years old and getting harder to find.
D-series version D16a1 86-87


2nd Gen ZC (rarest)
Identified by:
Internal coil, large dizzy, single butterfly TB mounted on slight angle forward, bolts on top of cam cover, black cam cover, large cam pullies.
+7cc PM7 pistons, 43cc Pent roof combustion chamber.
As a ZC appeared in JDM facelift AV bodied integra Si did not appear in civic or CRX, rarest ZC only produced for less than one year.
D-series version D16a1 88 - 89 (somtimes +7cc P29 pistons)


3rd Gen ZC
Identified by:
Internal coil, large dizzy, single butterfly TB. Black cam cover. Cam cover bolts on the sides. Small cam pullies. Inlet Manifold stamped PM7.
+7cc PM7 pistons, 43cc Pent roof combustion chamber.
As a ZC appeared in JDM EF3 civic and EF7 crx, did not appear in an integra body. Most commonly produced ZC, manufactured in Japan from end of 87 through to early '91
D-series version D16a8/9 (euro civic Si) (somtimes +7cc P29 pistons)


4th Gen ZC
Identified by:
Internal coil. OBD1 efi system (grey plug). No cam angle sensor on exhaust cam, now located in Dizzy. Rubber plug where cam angle sensor would mount. Black cam cover. No PGM-EFi plate on the inlet manifold, replaced with three ribs instead. P29 stamped on inlet manifold. MAP sensor on TB.
+7cc PM7 pistons, pent roof combustion chamber.
As a ZC only appeared in EG5 civic bodies, no integra or CRX received this engine. Reasonably common produced from 92 to 94. (20th Anniversary edition & japanese car of the year)
D-series version D16a8/9 (Euro & Australia civic Si & NZ civic Gti) (somtimes +7cc P29 pistons)

The S2000 OEM Filters will work also and are made by a reputable company in Japan that makes high performance oil filters, but you will pay more for them.
MY Suggestion…Get OEM Its only a couple bucks so why buy others when you can have a OEM filter for mostly the same price.

the std bore on a zc is 75mm so anything with that bore would work. a6,z6.ect. will work as long as it's a 75mm. but it depends on the compression you want to run.
There are many companies that offer ZC specific Pistons now, so Aftermarket is there.

Default
Modifications:

Throttle body:

is the same as the 88-91 CRX/CIVIC SI D16A6..... 55mm

b18b 58mm throttle body on a obd1 zc, it bolts right up but you need to port match the manifold to the throttle body

camshaft:

HKS makes cams for the ZC, here are the specs, 256 degrees intake and exhaust duration, 5.95mm Intake lift, 5.3 mm exhaust lift, they are ground from new billets.

headers/exhaust manifold:

The exhaust manifold for Greddy Turbo kit for the 92-95 Civic, was originally designed for the ZC. Greddy modified the casting tool for the D16 ports, so there is plenty of material to safely port it back out to ZC sized ports. However, the guys at greddy say don't bother until you are running over 7 psi.

" The scoop on the headers, is that while the bolt pattern for the Civic SOHC engines and the ZC engines are identical, the port pattern is not. The ZC engine has the ports shifted almost 3 mm (appx 1/8"). In real terms, this means that when you use the SOHC header, the ports do not align properly. The exiting exhaust gases literally run into one edge of the misaligned header flange. You can see this by holding the steel exhaust gasket from the ZC engine up to the DC header.

The easiest and best solution is to use the ZC gasket as a template and mark the misalignment. Using an air grinder, with a small stone "port" the header to match the ZC port configuration. While you're at it clean up the entry point of the header a little so that the whole port on the header is slightly larger than the ZC port. It is an old, but proven trick that the larger header port decreases the chance of exhaust gas reversing flow and re-entering the still open exhaust valves. It is better to have the port larger than to have them matched identical. Do not under any circumstances grind the port on the head to match the header though. This gives poor results."

adjustable cam gears

you can use B-series cam gears on the DOHC ZC, however, the marks for aligning the camshafts on the B-series gears are not the same as on the ZC gears - the B-series gears have 16 teeth between the teeth with the marks, on both the top and bottom of the gear - the ZC gears have 15 teeth between the teeth with the marks on the top side of the gear and 17 teeth between the teeth with marks on the bottom side of the gear - to use the B-series gears on the ZC, the mark on the left side of the gear for the intake cam is o.k., but the mark on the right side of the gear for the exhaust cam is one tooth off - you need to scribe a new mark on the next tooth above the tooth with the mark for the B-series and use that new mark for lining up the camshafts - here is where the new mark goes:



ZC Swap Links

links are from fourth Gen Hatch all these wright ups are made by that dude.. ive used them and know they work. he has alot of good tips aswell.
Mpfi swap

3G ZC Swap


You need an 87 Integra parts to run an 87 F.I. ZC motor:


ECU
Axles
Distributor
tranny (waayyy better than a 87 ZC tranny (longer gearing))
tranny mount
shift linkage
hub & spindle assembly.

If you can get a Japanese ZC ECU get it!! I had it, it runs good at
idle. The 86-87 ECU tends to run a little rich at idle (stinky fumes
emmitted), the ZC ECU fixes that
& runs a bit smoother (way less fumes).


89 Integra valve seals DO FIT a ZC


almost all Integras have the same size valve stems dia. approx 6.6mm. My Helm book for 89 Integra confirms this, it says 6.56mm-6.52mm. My other Helm book for the 91 Civic says that the SOHC engines have 5.46mm-5.42mm valve stems.
I removed my exhaust manifold (again) and stuck a pair of dividers in the port to get a measurement. I did not use the most exact method because my dividers had straight legs instead of the ones where the tips curve in (wouldn't fit in the port). I then measured them with my calipers and got 6.5mm! I would say that that is pretty close.
I also got to thinking, if it was thought that the Teg had the 5.5mm valves, somebody would have noticed that when the valve seals were being installed. I'm sure that the machine shop would have given me a call to let me know that I got the wrong seals, that is quite a bit of slop for a "seal". So after all this, the 89 Teg valve seals DO fit a ZC.



Transmissions:


4 speed 88-91

5 speed DX 88-91

5 speed Si 88-91

5 speed ZC 88-91

ZC Pressure Plate:-----1989 Civic DX

ZC Clutch Disk:-----1989 Civic DX

the 89 DX and the 89,90,91 CRX use the same size shaft and same number of splines on the
transmission. The 89 DX clutch disk and pressure plate is smaller in diameter by about one inch than the CRX Si. Although the flywheel is the same diameter on both. As long as you stay with one or the other it should work fine.

I know these have been asked before, and I know they will be asked again,
but here are a few ZC tranny questions.
Questions

Q-1.) For axles, I use the ZC halfshafts, 90-93 teg axles, and the 90-93
axles fit on all the 4G hubs?

Q-2.) Which clutch, preassure plate, and flywheel do I need? 90-91?

Q-3.) Does Quaife make a limited slip that would fit the ZC tranny? Are
the diffs in the ZC the same as in the other 4G's?

Answers

A-1) A better choice of axle would be two 88-91 Civic/CRX DX/Si right
hand axles with 90-93 Integra inner joints. If you have a CRX HF or
Civic Standard model a custom job is called for. OR you can use 88-91 DXSi knuckles and hubs and make your life simpler.

A-2) The clutch should match the year of the transmission you have, 88
if it is an 88 and your choice of 89 or 90-91 if the transmission is
89 or later.

A-3) Yes they do, I have one, it is not available through Autotech
though.
If the tranny is an 89 or later you may use a 90 91 clutch, pressure
plate and flywheel.
