Im looking seriouisely at getting a 4th gen or crx now. When I see the ads for the autotrader, some say they have the zc engine swap. If i went to look at these cars, any way I could tell for real if they had the swap done with that engine or not?

Thanks.

its a DOHC so look for 2 cams (non-VTEC)...other then that i'm not sure....

I thought the 130hp J-SPEC ZC had v-tec?

just look on the block
it will have "ZC" engraved on the block
search up some zc pictures from yahoo and take a look at how it looks and then look at the block and you'll know for sure
do u come to the meets on wednesday? if so ill meet up with you and ill show you my zc motor

There is a SOHC and DOHC version of the ZC, also non-OBD and OBDI versions of the ZC exists as well... but neither versions had VTEC.

Ya, there are a couple of guys here in Barrie with ZC's, one is a SOHC and two are DOHC. I love that motor, the SOHC one eats Preludes for breakfast (car's pretty light)

yeah loudsubz
i have a dohc jmd zc in my car ...and im pretty sure they come sohc too tho so look into it

imported_dented dx

not even worth looking at a SOHC unless its automatic in which case you should give yourself one of these

imported_loudsubz

I never see u on icq anymore dave. I miss u man :cry:

I always thought your ride had vtec, man it just sounded so good.

Do they make a 130hp SOHC and DOHC? or is the DOHC only 130hp.

yo matt my computers gone to get fixed so i have nothing to use. ive been using kristens computer and now i can use the computers at my co-op job.

imported_loudsubz

Ok kew man, cant wait to see u back.

Hopefully Ill have my own car soon and u can show me all there is to know about 4th gens

Look for the cam Censer on the exhust side

Zc will have one
88-89 tegz motor will not (looks the same and bolts in like the ZC so no mounts needed)

SilverCRXSi

ZC has about 130hp and DOHC, non-VTEC.
Came in the JDM Si model.

If you're looking for a 4th gen bring a magnet. Body is more important than engine. I learned that the hard way...

Anyways I suggest a 2G CRX

i got a dohc zc put in my crx after the si engine blew, you'll notice the difference, u could just buy a crx or 4th gen then swap in a zc, may save yourself some money and headaches
