    ZC swap idle surging when warm

    thanks I'll have to check that again, I could see there were a ton of lines on the upper part of the motor but the leak seemed to be coming from below the intake manifold. This is a DOHC ZC motor and it has what lookes like coolant lines running to the oil filter houseing. Is that something...

    Swap shops in Oregon

    Yeah it's plugged in. I ended up taking to a good mechanic in Corvallis who cleaned the throttle body and adjusted the air intake somehow and the surging went away. It's leaking coolant out the back from somewhere I havne't been able to isolate yet but it seems to be coming from around the oil...

    Swap shops in Oregon

    Hey guys, any recommendations for a shop in the Corvallis, Salem area? I would even trailer it to the Portland area for the right shop. I have a 90 civic hatch with a d16zc swap. I have the surging idle issue and don't have the time to deal with it now. I am hoping a shop can fix it fast for...

    ZC swap idle surging when warm

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'll order up a iacv seal when I order the upper and lower injector o-rings. It was a bit of a suprise to see the spray of fuel when we tried starting it up the first time. We did bleed the coolant system via the bleed valve but now that I'm thinking of it I am not...

    Hello, so I did a ZC DOHC swap on my 90 civic DX with a 1.5. I did the DPFI to MPFI conversion and am using a PG7 ECM. I made sure the TPS outside wires were swapped over as per the instructions and everything seems to be wired correctly. Now for the problem, the motor starts, runs and...

    dohc zc swap parts search

    I was hoping someone had a part number or could point me in the right direction for the hoses if the stock ones were not the right ones. I know the stock exhaust gaskets wont work and I thought I got the one for a 89 Integra but it is too large of a diameter and the ZC exhaust has two inlets at...

    Obd0 zc dohc ecu

    Thanks, I'm looking at a PG7 ECU but thought if I could get a PM6 local and pay a few bucks for one of these PM7 chips that would essentially give me the closest thing to a real PM7 without the $200 price tag. Mark

    Obd0 zc dohc ecu

    PM7 chip in a PM6 Ok so does anyone have any experience with the PM7 chips being sold on ebay and putting them into a PM6 ECU? I see they sell what is claimed to be a PM7 program for around $15-20. Do these really give you the same thing as an original PM7 when put into a PM6 ECU? Thanks...

    I think I put some in it like 6-7 years ago but now when going over train tracks or bumps it just seems rough and like they are not absorbing much if any.

    ZC SOHC vs ZC DOHC

    Thanks, for some reason I thought I read somewhere that it was something like 200lb's more. I'm planning on replacing the axles and struts while I'm dropping the engine in. Do the springs need to be replaced as well or just the struts? I'm hoping to get my engine ordered tomorrow and have it...

    ZC SOHC vs ZC DOHC

    If I end up going with the DOHC would the extra weight be an issue? Do you recomend upgrading the front shocks/struts to stiffer ones? Keeping in mind this is strickly a daily commuter.
