the wireing shouldn't be too bad, you could use a si engine harness that is mpfi, but you still have to run wires from the chassis side of the harness(where the engine harness plugs in and goes throught the firewall) to the ecu

I HAVE A 92-95 DOHC ZC MOTOR AND IM PUTTING IT IN MY 89 CVIC AND I DONT KNOW WHAT AXLES TO USE FOR THIS SWAP.
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A SITE WHERE I CAN FIND THE AXLES AND THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT FOR THIS ENGINE

the only wiring harness that you need is the fuel injection harness. usethe dx harness, because you will run into serious problems with the si harness. trust me i just got donewith the zc swap. is it sohc or dohc? mine was sohc and my swap was difficult because i didnt no about the harnesses. its much easier to modify the exsisting harness than it is to deal with the si harness.

Hey, I am reading lots of questions, too few answers haha. Anyway i have the same questions i am putting a DOHC ZC in my 88 DX so what exactlyam i gonna have to do? wiring i am seeing but what wiring, what new parts and is it easy?

you would need to convert ot mpfi, that isn't overly difficult, there is a write up on it in the diy section i believe. the engine will pretty much just drop in and use you existing exhaust and mounts. the same tranny will work or you can use the zc tranny if you have it. but the zc tranny i belive has special axles so they might be hard to come by.
