Hello well im new to the import and honda thing so i have a few questions. First off can anyone tell me about the ZC motor. You know what it came in, power rating, rev limit, parts, swapping. Is it like a b series motor? will it swap like a b series. Also with the b series what's the difference between the generations of the b16. I saw a site that sold engines and it had a b16a 1st gen, b16a second gen and so on. Please help.

zc's are just bit better then d series motors without v-tec, in my opinion its not worth swaping one....and b16 1st get are the older motors like form 88 to 92 or something like that b16 2ng gen are all newer motors 94-00..

if ur gonna get a zc theres no point... sure the motor maybe cheap.. but its mildly better than a dseries but zc parts can be expensive while dseries parts are really cheap... d>zc... oh but a bseries beats both hands down

Ok then well the zc is out then. I was looking for a 88-91 civic or crx or maybe a 92-95 civic hatch. A B16 1st gen would be ok right? i mean the site i went on said that the 1st gen had like 160 hp while the 2nd gen had 168. They also had the B16b that came in the civic r i think it was rated at 185? The reason i'm asking is that this site had a 1st gen complete motor tranny and stuff you need for the swap for around 1300 pluss shippen. the 2nd gen was around 2100 plus shippen. the B16b was 3900 pluss shippen. So i know the first gen is the better deal right? is 25 more hp worth 2600 dollars? that 2600 dollars sounds like a turbo kit to me right? lol
