'89 CRX Si
DOHC ZC stock w/ Garrett T25 @8psi
JDM L3 "ZC" tranny, Integra axles

this pic is over a year old, it has been improved drastically since then. for more pics of the car, click the cardomain link in my sig.

Pros- Responded very well to boost, I can still put B motors in their place, even if they are boosted too
- Its an oddball engine, i like the fact that not many people near me have one
- great mpg lol
- Torque!

Cons- People think its an LS motor

Here is the new ZC I traded the B for. It came with a ZC tranny as well. This engine went straight to my old machine shop to get a mild build done. ARP head studs, HKS head gasket, Eagle H beams, JGE springs, and some other various machine work will be done to it. I have a T3/T4 60trim to go along with it, but am still looking for a good manifold
This pic is of it while still in my buddies' hatch

*edit* the stock ZC that is in my CRX now will go into my 91 four door civic when the new motor is ready.
