yeah, easier to just go with an ls. very few people use the zc. the ls has much more aftermarket support.

[SovXietday]

The ZC is basically a dual overhead cam Dseries. It wasn't found here in the states, and it came in some of the later model CRXs I believe in Japan.

Either way, not worth it. Go with the LS.

yea go with the ls, or you could upgrade and pick up a k series :lol:

[fc3spower]

yea go with the ls, or you could upgrade and pick up a k series :lol:

lol yeah im leaning to the ls, and i cant really afford k series swaps right now lol.

[renn]

don't lean towards, just buy the ls or stay sohc.

[fc3spower]

complete ls motor for 600.. good? bad? sorry, im just really used to my rotary engines, i realized that my best bet is to atleast stay with a b18 of some sort, my del sol just got wrecked and a bought my friends del sol shell, which had a gsr in it, he left me the ecu harness motor mounts and axles, so it would be stupid to not go ls

[OutToWinPAHC]

Not fresh on hondas anymore, how are the mount kits for K and F series? But once upon a time we took out the D16A6 and went with a F20C / 6 speed swap and it was just a blast.

[fc3spower]

lol, i wish i had the money for **** like that, unfortunately i spend the majority of my money on my rx7s lol, but i certainly did start to like my del sol and i know parts are a lot more common to come by than the rx7.. but yeah, id much rather just keep it simple, dont need anything outrageous lol.

[fc3spower]

lol im terrible at updating posts. thanks for reminding me about this one haha. i actually ended up getting a gsr so im happy with that, been slowly doing research getting used to the honda world.. lol

[nolicense526]

glad you went with gsr...zc motor is horrible as you prob know already with all these posts.
