HI,
The ZC is one heck of a engine. 128HP vs 96HP. It's a noticeable
differance. I had one in my old 90 Hatchback.
You could run the your DPFI intake on the ZC w/o any issues. I still
passed the e-test with it on my zc.
Going from DPFI to MPFI isn't too hard. You can keep your ECU.
You'll have to get a few more parts and re-pin some wires on the harness.
Just google search DPFI to MPFI . There's a lot of info on how to do it,
parts needed, etc.
Make sure you replace your t-belt, tensioner(maybe), & water pump with the
engine out. Also install a new clutch.
$500ish engine $200 for t-belt/waterpump, $200clutch kit, MPFI if your
decide to go that way $20-$30MAX from the junkyard.
You may want to check out
www.hondaswap.com fourm. There's a lot of info
there. Just make you SEARCH before making a post.
Also I would stay way from the DOHC version. It's a lot harder to find
parts for. SOHC ZC basicly shares parts with the Si D15/D16 block. ie. same
t-belt, water pump, etc.,
