step 1: disconnect negative battery cable.
step 2: google: honda zc
step 3: click wikipedia's link
step 4: table of contents #6 ZC
step 5: read it and tell us a little more info on what it is (sohc, dohc, there's also a engine stamp on the front of your motor, down about half way, in line with the edge of your rad (so on the motor, the side where the trans connects.)
check this out as it shows a pic of where the stamp is and about your zc motor as well and how to determine what kind of motor it is.

DOHC ZC is not vtec. Majority of D-series parts are interchangeable. 9 times out of 10 you'll need 88/89 integra parts. I recently found a company that makes adjustable cam gears for it! "rageimports.com" Also check to see if you have the Si 5 speed or the ZC's 5 speed. ZC's will have equal length drive shafts.
