Is it possible to do a LS/Vtec swap on the 1.6 out of an 88 integra LS?

 

no - can't put B-series head on D-series block

 

Is this engine considered the zc engine?

 

No. It is a D16A1, it is a DOHC ZC pattern engine, but is not nearly as powerful.

Most Browntop ZC parts (pistons, cams, cylinder head, etc) can be swapped in with no problems.

It is possible to mount an LS/VTEC into this car, but the mount kit is very expensive.

 

DH-Racing.com has a head rework that allows the install of LS valvetrain. I think its about 500$ but dont quote me on that.
