3. The ZC is a garbage motor....period. There's a reason that the CA state smog refs will pass every stock honda motor swap except for the ZC...think about that for a little bit. Anyone who thinks it's a good motor probably thinks that the B16 is God's gift to racing...get over yourselves.
4. People who don't know what the fuck they are talking about need to shut their mouths....especially referring to what other cars run, because you think you can take one out.
5. TSM.....TSM....TSM....what are we gonna do about you. You are one of these Honda > all guys, aren't you? My CRX runs 10's, BAH BAH BAH, your domestic probably falls apart before it hits the finish line and is shitty, BAH BAH BAH, drag racing is all there is to life, BAH BAH BAH. Seriously, get over it. You're not cool, you're not a badass. I could care less if you were "Factory trained by HONDA," because you seem like a complete fucktard noob to me. You don't seem like you know your shit. All I've seen you do is run your mouth a bunch on things you have no clue about. Yeah, your CRX supposedly runs 10's. Big deal, all it takes is money to make a car fast. Do us all a favor and learn some basic grammar before you come back to post. Thanks.

And an H22 full swap is 34 pounds heavier than a B-Series swap.

If they were as bad as you say they are, people wouldn't be running 15+ lbs on the stock sleeve.

Fuck that, you idiots out there can have that shit. It is bullshit and has started to spread to NYS. Just another gov't regulation. The Zc puts out no more than any other old school domestic.
Next thing liberal California will try to do is ban all those great old school muscle cars

I have had two Zc motors (& getting a third) and have had 0 problems with them. Guess i have just been lucky.

I have a solution for all of you... I tried this and it worked great. I got one of these:
No more worrying about who is faster or how much your swap will cost. Teh edn.

^^ this is true ZC is a good motor. its a good upgrade from the sohc non vtecs. The b16 is overrated but has alot of aftermarket. For the price of a swap I have a d series that puts a b16 to shame. look at d series tq numbers vs B seires and then look at the hp numbers tha b series makes more at high rpm. Kind of got to rev the h3ll out of it to get those. Simple FI on a d series kills a b series for way less money. But then you say I can do that on a b series and kill a d. Well you can its all up to how much money you want to spend. A nicely built d series is a cheap alternative for a b series swap for more performance. But a d series is far from crap. I tried to do that without flaming as not to continue to kill this thread and bring it way off topic.
