Hi everyone, i have just purchased a complete ZC Vtec SOHC engine today. I will be putting it in this saturday, If u have ever done this before, give me some tips or problems i may encounter, whatever u have to say will be appreciated.
Thaniks in advance!

 

easy as pie straight drop in seeing how you have a vx everthing for vtec is there so just unhooke verything then hook her back up.....look into gettting a si tranny or a jdm lsd tranny cause your vx tran will have crap gas saver gearing and get the right ecu aswell cause your ecu will have weak spark and fuel trims causing low HP...

 

ya try and find a ncie zc lsd tranny, hard to come by but ud b happy with it cept on the hwy, i had one and loved it altho it revved so high on the hwy cuzz of the gearing.

 

i got a tranny with it, its super complete, im not too sure what kind of tranny tho

 

if you got the zc tranny then its all good even if its not lsd it'll still have some nice gears... might suck on the highway though

 

Could always do a tranny swap.
Take out the final gear ration from your VX and swap it into the tranny you're gonna put in now.

 

okay, its a 94 si tranny
anyone esle run into any probs wghen they installed theyre engine?

 

Anyone else???

 

just get started and see what happens, every motor swap has different complications if any...just dive in and experience it all 1st hand

 

I could come over in the afternoon and help.... but if it hasn't been started when I get there I'd turn around and leave... I can help... not do it ... big difference anyways PM your info and we'll talke

 

today is the day, wish me luck

 

oh oh jason your gonna go to keswick!!!!!! ha ha wait till you get there you will see true examples of all those jokes i told you on the wat yo alberta!!!!!

 

no I didn't go he had my cell number but never called.... so I didn't know where to go....

 

oh thats cuz i forgot lol, but its okay, im the master, i have it done now, well mostly, trystan, come help me with the vtec woiring

 

You cant swap gears in the trannys because the diff bearings are a different diamiter, they wont fit. The outer casings are the same but they are different inside.

 

hey.... my buddy is rebuilding one too, we are gonna swap it soon..... i thought i remember hearing you need a few 88 integra parts like cap and rotor and stuff of that sort... is that true? or do you just use your stock d16 parts from the other motor?

 

nope wasnt me, okay im all done now, i just dont know which ones are vetc wires, I see there is one green conector to the top left side of the valve cover, it has 2 cut wires coming from it

 

help me please

 

Vtec Wiring maybe u can use this?
