zc help
 

okay i gotta get a engine in my baby soon cause its going to be dead soon(bad piston rings). i'm going to get a zc (dohc) motor 2nd gen. i'm putting it into a 93 civic dx. i heard that the tranny will bolt up and the ecu will plug up. i just need info if anything i'm gonna need. and also i'm getting a clutch and wondering what kind and what should i get to fit the motor actually. i just want to know what i need to know to complete this swap. i'm actually getting a mechanic at my job to put it in for me. i need info asap. i'm trying to get a engine put in this week.

how much is your mechanic charging you????

noooooooooooo
 

Keep that JDM smoke, that sh*t is hot when you rev yo, j/k, its about time you get a motor, how much are you paying for the motor and labor?

500

thats for the labor

i could the labor for $350:D

how long will it take???

as long as i have all of the parts, and i dont have any problems then i would say 2 days max!;)

if i get the car on a friday night then i could start on it early saturday morning. should have it done that evening:D

i just put a 98 lx motor in a 95 dx civic last sunday. i started working on it about 12 and had it done by 6 or so. stopping for eating dinner and goofing off and going to the hardware store for the neighbor

i got a certified tech. gonna work on it. so i don't think that will get any better. but got another question what n/a performance parts will work on the zc?? i mean i know they have to be d-series parts but will some b-series cams will work for it or what????

nope sorry. cams have to be for a zc. you may be able to use early teg parts(86-89)

as far as the certified tech goes.....

a certification just means that they passed a test. not neccesarily that they know what they are doing or can do a better job. i know as much if not more than MOST "certified" techs. ask around about the quality of my work. i treat each vehicle that i work on as if it were my own.

the choice is yours. which ever way you go, good luck:D
