BUMP i want to swap a ZC into it but can SOMEONE tell me if ill be able to smog it after i get everything hooked up?

 

nope. not the DOHC zc.. the sohc zc will smog just fine. I thought you were just gunna pay off a smog shop.

 

ive tried and nobodys interested and i dont have to money anymore i had $300 stolen from me but what motor would you suggest in the same price range?

 

I got my SOHC zc for 650 shipped which is pretty good. Its only 10 hp less than the dohc zc and its about 10 hp more than the d16a6 (si motor). well..it is the si motor with a more agressive cam. you can do that or if you want you can go for a SOHC ZC with vtec which bumps you up to the 140 hp range but you will need to wire for vtec and obd 1 i think? im not to sure on that. I would recomond Nippon motors (ni-mo.com) cause they gave me great survice and got everything i needed togeather and going. There are so many ef swaps out there but california air resourse board shuts them all down. If you drove to fresno I know a guy that would get it smogged for cheap but Legal is the best way to go.

might as well link you to this, start reading up on what you wanna do.

ya ive seen the link above and for the ef im going to swap everything out because its in garbage shape axels, ecu everything. ill look into the sohc zc vtec im going to a couple pick n pulls today to see what i can find. Hail thanks a ton for fast replies.

 

No problem... ive been through the same thing. Ill let you know how it goes with my friend who is getting his DOHC zc smogged this week.

 

ok at the picknpull today found b18a, d16a6 and b18b1 ENTIRE ENTIRE swap cost for the b18b1 was $450.

 

good luck man....i decided im gunna rebuild my dohc zc for my turbo project. So maybe you could either get yours running, smogged, grab the b18 build it up and turbo.

 

i think someone will snag the b18 before i would be able to get the chance but i might go to some different picknpulls tomorrow to check out some motors.

 

ok other picknpull today found a b18a1 that looked like it was in pretty good condition...... also found a zc didnt look too much into it but it looked pretty good i think ill snag that next time i go back(when i have money)
