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...

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...

Surging idle fixed. Well its been a while but I ended up taking the car to a shop. The guy said he cleaned the throttle body really good and adjusted the air flow (not sure what that means) but the surging idle is gone. It sat for around 2 years so i have been working on cleaning the car up...

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...

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...

did you ever figure out what was causing it? I am having the exact same problem with my dohc zc.

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...

Just the info I needed, thanks guys!

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...

Hi, I'm in the middle of doing a dohc zc swap into my 90 DX hatchback. I am having some trouble finding a couple of replacement parts. -The first is what heater hoses do I need to connect to the new motor. -Second I can't seem to get the correct part number for exhaust gasket that connect...

Hello, could you PM me a price for the cluster shipped to 97321. Thanks Mark

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

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...

Wow thanks for the detailed responses, I really appreciate it. I'm really looking forward to doing this engine swap. This will be my first Honda conversion but with the wealth of information on this site I think it will go smoothly. This really answers all my questions, I knew about the...

I have a OBD0 ZC DOHC coming in that will be installed in a 90 civix dx 5-speed. This car is a daily driver and I'm looking mainly for fuel efficiency and reliablity. With that said I also don't want to piss hp away with the wrong ecu. From the searching and reference sections and such it...
