so i assume it is much better to just swap a b16 into my 89 teg than try to work w/the stock zc ?
 
there are no VTEC DOHC ZCs - the stock 89 Integra engine is not a ZC - it is a D16A1
 
Can someone tell me why a DOHC ZC block is worth so much extra cost and effort to mini-me?
Cuz it's JDM, duh.

Actually it's probably due to the fact that you can run the ZC off of your stock electronics without having to upgrade to a VTEC ecu for the mini-me.
Also, and Jerry can correct me if I'm wrong (as he often does :)), but the ZC has a halfshaft that makes the axles equal length, whereas the minime would have the uneven length axles.
I'm sure there are many other reasons, depending on the particular application/situation. There is no one engine that is perfect for everyone.
 
sorry i am a newbie so i want to bracket race my 89 teg should i pull the stock d16a and swap a b16 if so do i need a new wiring harness ? it would not have to pass any emissions since i am just gonna race it

hahaha but i would keep the ZC in ur hatch, and do a custom turbo setup. im runnin a zc turbo in my 88 si crx im almost done, but it moves pretty good now.
 
Don't threadjack. There is a button that reads "New Thread"
Use it.

haha pwnge of the noobz, zc's are great motors, and instead of not going the zc route look into gude performance for a head build, if i dont go b16 then thats what i will do with my zc, they are great motors and depending on what kind of raicing you will be doing vtec might be a bad idea, in MY OPINION, though vtec is addictive.
 
sorry for threadjackin once again i am a noobie thanks for the info i am thinkin about a turbo set up on my d16a1
