Is the tranny of the JDM SOHC ZC, exactly the same as the USDM D16A6? Or does it comes stock with the DOHC ZC tranny, that has to be used with the intermediate shaft?
Nope..It has different gear ratios in 3rd and 4th gear then the si tranny and has a higher final drive..Also the sohc zc tranny is like the dohc zc tranny and uses a halfshaft like that of a 90-93 integra,,In fact many people get 90-93 integra axles on this tranny..THere was another set off axles that work if your car sits high at stock height..I forget though I think mid 80's accord axles,,not sure..

well said except the axle part, do NOT use 90-93 teg axles, those are for the b series swap, the 1.6 usdm dohc zc is called the d16a1, and it only comes in 87-89 integras. If you buy the 90-93 axles they are about 1/4 of an inch shorter than the 87-89's. they will be slightly harder to put in and then when you turn the bearings will fall rite out onto the ground, trust me i found out the hard way. the motors in the 90-93 teg's are only b18's. make sure you get 87-89 and also, if you want the GOD tranny of the d-series engines get ahold of a zc tranny (150 from h-motors) and also get ahold of a 89-91 si tranny and take the zc gearing with the Si final drive and you will be set for some drag racing.

wrong! ZC transmission with intermediate shaft uses 90-93 integra axles - 86-89 integra axles are about 1/2" too short - on some cars, the 90-93 integra axles are also a little short on the passenger side, in which case you use 85 accord SE-i axle

WWWRROOONNNGGGGG, why dont you go and buy some 90-93 teg axles and try to turn, moron

Those are the axles I used(90-93 integra) when I swapped in a dohc zc motor/tranny in a friends hatch..They do work

well, they didnt work on mine, i dont understand why you think they would work, the ONLY motor that came in the 90-93 teg was the b18a. B B B B B B B B not D, B not D. there were 2 motors in the 87-89 teg the D16A1 also known as the D16a9 or the JDM ZC and the B18Awas the other motor. So now that we ALL know that.. B motors CAN NOT use a D series TRANSMISSIONS. when you go to buy these axles you tell them " i need axles for a 87-89 integra please." Their response would be " sure are they for the 1.6L Or the 1.8Litre." Now Knowing that, we all SHOULD also know that the b series and d series transmissons have differnt splined differntly, i can also elaborate more if anyone would like more information. So According to some people i guess i can go and use some 90 crx si axles on my integra. and if you are going to start about the half shaft crap you dont Need a half shaft.so i can just go take it off the integra and i can use my crx axles on it AAAWWWSSSUUUMMMMEEEE!!!!!!!! So someone PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE exxxpalin to me how they would fit.
i tried using the 90-93 teggy axles and it was no bueno...bearing went kaboom to the floor.....went back and got the 88-89 and it worked......so...
I also tried using teg axles on my ef 4 door, zc tranny with zc halfshatf, they were too short and as soon as i turned they complety fell apart.
Dohc ZC has the "special" 3-4 gears big axle differential and the U.S. DX 3.88 Final drive
Sohc ZC from the Civic/Crx has the EXACT same gears as U.S. Si and 4.25 Final drive
Sooo it is basicly the same as any U.S. CRX Si trans.

For the people saying the 90-93 integra axle(s) were to long ,,did you remember to take off the rubber ring thing on the axle(s) and the dust cover from inside the hub..??

thanks for clearing that up. i will confirm this is true.
but the DOHC tranny ratios are all different except 1st, not just 3rd and 4th.

same. it was a SOHC ZC just (well nearly) like the d16a6.
JDM integras is where most the SOHC ZC are coming from anyway.

you use 90-93 Teg axles for the DOHC ZC swap with ZC Trans, you<U>HAVE</U> to pop out the dust ring from inside the knuckle, i have used these axles on 2 ZC swaps and my friend has used them on countless ZC swaps and never had a single problem
why would you want to take out the dust ring when you could just use the proper axles that require no modifacation???

why don't you show us where the 87-89 Integras came with a B-series engine? also, don't shop somewhere that asks you which engine you have in your 87-89 Integra "1.6L or 1.8L" - they don't know any more than you do - FYI the 87-89 Integra, as well as the 86, only came with one engine, a D16A1 and the transmission is a CG
keep reading and just maybe when you get to be 19 you will know a little more about what you are talking about
please elaborate more on that different spline stuff - that ought to be good for a few more laughs

that woudl be what i said about 16 posts up, you stupid **** smoke.
and if you really wanted to help this guy you would have told him that you need to take the dust sheild out to make them work. and im sorry im not a perfect typer, i dont sit at home all day and play with my self like you do. its called a typo *******

Wow
I love how everyone on hear talks ****...and the only thing they say is blah blah im older and more mature blah blah...blah i know more.blah blah.....
Whoever said something about being 19 should take a 10 foot pole fashion a rope to the end stick it in the ground and HANG YOURSELF....Stop being a E-thug and contribute something beneficial to the post
seriously we all come onto this website to share knowledge and love for our cars.we dont need hardasses coming and talking ****, ther are plenty of that offline.....
