ZC questions!
hey my d16a6 is DEAD *moment of silence* and i need an engine fast, and with limited funds and no expirience swapping engines, ive decided to hunt down a ZC. but i have a few questions, which i havent found answers to yet. is the SOHC and DOHC same HP? which one is better? because nippon-motors has both and they offer a 6 month warranty on the sohc but only a 3 day one on the dohc, so im not sure. and also, do i need to change my axels? i have an 88 crx HF, but my friend swapped in the d16a6, so im assuming i got the si axels? or do i need integra ones? any other info that i should know, before getting one, parts i will need? what about a headgasket? any usefull info would be appreciated thanks!

I have a rebuilt ZC that has'nt been put in a car yet..... I bought it for my CRX project that I am bored with.
It is the DOHC 130hp from a '91 CRX in Japan.
I have everything you need to put it in.... Chipped computer new plug wires.... gaskets... everything
You can use a stock Si transmission.... it has better gearing and then your axles will not be a problem.
you can have all this for only $800 Canadian.... so that is like $2 bucks american.
Peace Out

The blacktop ZC is the most "correct" of the choices, since it was offered in the Japanese CRX. I would choose it due to the fact that it has two cams (easier tuning) amoung other little differences. The DOHC ZC head is similar to the B18A/B head, only a little smaller.
I'm about to start building a hybrid EW/ZC engine.. just for fun.
