Everything Zc

[Tom]

i've read that the zc LOVES boost, and it's an easier swap because it's obd-0.

it does love boost, and on 7 psi can make well over 180hp at eh wheels.

looks like i know what im doing, lol

im juss curious to kno what u guys thing about ur zc, mine is dohc, it has been great i love that motor but i only wish it had vtec but non the less its a good motor, and if ther is something i should kno about it, upgrades and downgrades, thanks

Im getting one soon.. Im not touching it other than bolting up my current header and intake.. saving towards a turbo.. its from what Ive heard a pretty stout motor for the cash.. it can handle boost well, but unless you build it dont try to take it up.. I plan on going only 5-6psi..

VTEC is all hype, I have a b16a and bant a b18a/b. the ZC is a wonderfully abusable motor. Have fun with it

good because unless you do some internal work more than 6 psi will deuce your engine damn quick

anything u recomend i do to it??,i got heders intake and exhaust.

 

[Steven.]

my DOHC ZC IS GREAT. i love it, going to turbo soon, ZC can handel up to 7psi on stock internals, thast good.

 

[civic_crx]

i told my buddie if i can do turbo and that bish said no,wtf how r u doing it??

 

[Steven.]

huh, 92-95 civic EX turbo kit bolts right on to the DOHC ZC. or you can make your own kit.

 

[Steven.]

you can turbo any car.... just becouse they dont make turbo kits for them (and yes they make them for DOHC ZC swap in 4th gen civics, whole kits) why did he say you cant turbo it..

thezcr.com

best resource for the ZC engine.
(im green 91 there)

if u want to turbo it, and run a high boost pressure, you should have the block sleeved, and maybe a new set of rods

i ran 10psi on my stock bottom dohc zc, with proper fuel management you'd be fine, without it at 10psi you'll be in bad shape, 9-10psi is where the stock rods WILL bend, running 7 is just as good, at 7psi i dyno'd 188hp, that was without my intercooler which had been stolen the week before dyno time, the best kit for the dohc zc is the 92-95 civic greddy kit, which was originally designed for the dohc zc in japan, since we never got that motor stock here in the U.S. greddy adapted it to the next best thing.

ah bro thanks alot for dat info that helps alot thanks

 

[Tom]

i ran my car for 2 years on 10psi, however i did put alot of money into getting it tuned right, but anything is possible, just depends on your budget, so save alot.

 

[civic_crx]

gota save up oh well i should ease up on the gas pedal a lil that might save me some money thanks,

 

[Tom]

not with the always rising cost of petro, lol.

 

[Steven.]

cant wait to turbo, im going to get a whole nother head and build it up (turbo cams, valves, high lift springs, titanum retainers, that kind of stuff,) and also going to buy some new performance pistons and rods.
