I have a ZC in my '85. I'm using an '88 tranny. I have something like $1k in it (with lots of new parts). I cannot get the pg7 ecu to work because the ZC does not have the eacv like the USDM teg. I posted a thread about this, but noone replied.

we swapped the 89 Integra intake manifold onto the brown top ZC in order to get EACV

there are a lot of stock internal DOHC ZCs out there that are running around 10lbs boost and making around 230-240whp - just have to get the right fuel management

Isn't the ZC manifold better than the teg piece? I'm going to adapt the eacv from my '86 teg manifold by fabricating flanges to bolt to it and to the egr hole in the intake.
Does the PM7 ECU use eacv?

To B honest, the money you plan on spending for car then motor swap you can get you a 4th gen Civic. Crx pob. cost you at least 2K. I paid 1K 4 my 91 Civic Si. Good luck & by the way Happy ThanksGiving champ..

the black valve cover ZC intake manifold is better than the Integra - the 88-89 Integra is better than 86-87 - we first tried adapting the Integra EACV to the ZC manifold and could never get it to work
