will this motor fit?

Yup.. it'll bolt right up to the Si tranny.. As for the mount.. You'll have to swap the old Si engine mount bracket onto the Y8. The one on the driver side.
But you won't be able to activate Vtec with the Si ecu.. but at least you can get it to run.

Actually I thought Happys ZC went kaboom on him?!?!?!
Wiring wasn't the cause of it was just a shitty motor.
Anyways, all that aside... I know little to nothing about D series motors since I drop those like a bad cold when I get cars with them
Regards,
OK

Maybe he got a lemon, who knows. There's a few guys at meets with ZC's in 4th gen's and they run fine. There were 2 4th gen sedans at the last meet, I think they both had ZC's and the owners told me they loved it... considering the low price they paid.

If you pick up a used motor, it's always better to have it properly inspected. Even a clean looking one can turn out to have crap internals!
There are greyplug (OBD-1) DOHC ZC engines available. I'm not sure what Dan had tho?
Like everyone else is saying, ZC's are great pricewise - and a good platform for boost too.
IMO, I'd still take the ladder and drop in a B16 instead.
That's a real shitty way to try and get things working. Non-VTEC motors run totally different fuel and ignition maps. Even a VTEC controller can't compensate enough to have the motor run in optimal condition. Your better off by having the ECU re-chipped.

Can't you just get an aftermarket V-TEC controler to do that?
