ZC swap Question!

I'm thinking of swaping a ZC into my 4th gen DX.

Would the ZC engine fit in without hitting the hood?
And what kind of extra hardware do I need??

(such as injector resister, plugs for injectors... and 89 Integra ECU etc.)

Thanx!!

Get the ZC ECU

As for fitting, Dave has one in his 4th gen and without the ZC hood with the bump he said it was rubbing on the stock hood.

Yes that is correct.....take off the timing belt cover....

I may have a ZC ECU for sale shortly....it's an auto version but it gives you the 7500 RPM redline and works the same....only thing is the engine comes on cuz of the auto thingy.....no probs just OBD0 doesn't understand properly....easy to fix remove the bulb for the engine light.

i had a stock hood on my old car with a zc, there was slight rubbing and on occasion there was a vibration, and yes taking the cam gear cover off will stop all theses problems. but eh ZC hood looks so sweet.
