ZC Swap Done

[NoNeed4VTEC]

If any of you guys are curious about how fast a ZC Civic runs with a four speed at over 5000ft in El Paso, Tx, it runs a 17.1. Fast huh? Anyway, it is vibrating alot! Is that normal with the ZC swap or is somthing wrong? It gets so bad it rattles my windows.

what kind of mounts did you put in??

 

[rudeludenotmeanthough]

check the firing order

 

[mellowboy]

It could be worn out mounts.

SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS TO BE MOTOR MOUNTS. I AM ALSO IN EL PASO. WHAT YEAR CAR DID THE ZC SWAP INTO. SEEMS LIKE YOU SHOULD BE RUNNING A LOT FASTER THAN 17.1. DID A D16A SWAP INTO A 88 CIVIC AND IT IS RUNNING FASTER THAN THAT. IF IT IS MOTOR MOUNTS THS MOTOR WOULD VISIBLY ROCK WHEN ACCELERATED

WE USED THE STOCK FIVE SPEED FROM THE 88 LX AND DIDNT HAVE THAT PROBLEM

not really that fast I did 16.03 first time out but I have seen in person 14.7 with intterior and I/H/E on a DIY tuned ECU. The guy just really knew how to drive. Also has a 11sec turbo crx.

my old one did a 15.2 full interior, 5spd dx tranny, i/h/e

 

[90vtec]

With DX tranny. That's nice!!! The ZC tranny is better, he prob could get 2 thenths lower or mybe a 14 also with the ZC tranny

i pulled a 15.4 in a 90 hatch on a blown clutch out here in rochester ny with the stock wheels. 17.1 is definately not right. sounds like what it would pull on 3 cylinders. pressure test the cylinders, keep in mind these ZCs were sitting in some japanese garage for 10 years before we got them.

Ya stale 10-15 year old engines suck. Hopefully mine will hod boost. Probably get a 2mm head gasket and such but we'll centainly find out

Check your plugs and wires.
